CertiK Launches CertiK Hunt, The Invite-Only Security Platform For Web3 Projects And Top Security Researchers

CertiK, the leading Web3 security firm, today announced the launch of CertiK Hunt, an invite-only platform connecting elite security researchers with Web3 projects. Through CertiK Hunt, projects can launch bug bounty programs, audit competitions, and AI challenges, with additional features planned in future releases.

CertiK Hunt is intentionally exclusive, allowing only approved security researchers to participate. This approach is designed to combat one of the biggest challenges facing bug bounty programs today: large volumes of spam and low-quality submissions. Researchers are evaluated based on their technical expertise, previous findings, track record, and reputation within the security community.

Projects joining the platform are also reviewed before launching programs to help ensure a trusted environment for both researchers and participating organizations.

“We’ve seen too many cases across the industry where security researchers submit valid vulnerabilities only to face disputes or delayed payouts,” said Margarita Kadochnikova, Head of Communications at CertiK. “CertiK Hunt is built to create a trusted environment where high-quality researchers can focus on finding impactful vulnerabilities, projects receive meaningful security insights, and both sides know the rules will be applied fairly.”

The launch comes at a pivotal moment for Web3 security. Following another year in which billions of dollars were lost to exploits, the industry is increasingly shifting toward continuous security rather than one-time audits. As digital asset markets mature, regulatory scrutiny increases, and protocols become more complex, the cost of undiscovered vulnerabilities continues to rise. CertiK Hunt addresses this challenge by connecting experienced security researchers with projects that require continuous, high-quality security testing.

“CertiK Hunt is the next step in our mission to secure the Web3 ecosystem,” said Hudson Jameson, Head of Ecosystem at CertiK. “By building a network defined by signal and quality rather than volume, we are creating a platform where the best researchers can do their most impactful work, while giving projects greater confidence in the security of their code.”

CertiK Hunt extends the traditional security audit by providing projects with continuous, researcher-driven testing throughout the lifecycle of their applications. By combining formal audits with ongoing bug bounty programs, audit competitions, and AI-powered security initiatives, the platform helps projects strengthen their security posture long after code is deployed.
