DAO Governance Contract Security Bounty Program
Custom Smart Contract Development
Production-ready smart contracts built for security, gas efficiency, and scalability.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and
Solidity/Rustcoding to deployment and on-chain verification. - Security-First Approach: Multi-stage audits, formal verification, and automated testing with tools like Slither and Foundry.
- Gas Optimization: Expert-level code reviews to minimize transaction costs and maximize user savings.
- Protocol Integration: Seamless compatibility with major standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and cross-chain bridges.
Deliver a secure, audited, and gas-optimized contract suite in as little as 4-6 weeks, giving your product an immediate trust advantage.
Our Program Management Framework
We don't just run a bug bounty; we manage a structured security program designed to protect your DAO's treasury and governance integrity. Our framework ensures continuous, professional oversight from setup to resolution.
Program Design & Setup
We architect your bounty program with clear scope, rules, and reward tiers tailored to your DAO's specific smart contract stack and risk profile. This includes defining critical vs. high-severity vulnerabilities and establishing secure submission channels.
Vulnerability Triage & Validation
Our security engineers perform initial triage on all submissions, filtering noise and validating exploit viability. We replicate the attack vector in a sandbox environment to confirm severity before escalating to your team.
Researcher Coordination & Communication
We act as the dedicated point of contact for white-hat researchers, managing all communications, clarifying reports, and ensuring a professional experience that encourages high-quality submissions and repeat participation.
Remediation Guidance & Follow-up
We provide your developers with actionable remediation advice and code-level guidance for each validated vulnerability. We then conduct follow-up verification to ensure fixes are correctly implemented before payout.
Payout Management & Escrow
We handle the entire reward disbursement process securely. Funds can be held in a multi-sig escrow managed by Chainscore, with payouts triggered automatically upon your confirmation of a successful fix, ensuring trust for all parties.
Reporting & Risk Intelligence
Receive detailed quarterly reports with vulnerability trends, threat actor analysis, and benchmark data against similar DAOs. This intelligence informs your ongoing security strategy and smart contract development lifecycle.
Why a Managed Bounty Program for Your DAO
A structured, professionally managed bug bounty program is a critical line of defense for your DAO's treasury and governance. It transforms reactive security into a proactive, scalable asset.
Expert Triage & Validation
Our security engineers handle all incoming reports, filtering out noise and validating critical vulnerabilities before they reach your core team. This saves your developers hundreds of hours and ensures only actionable, high-severity issues are escalated.
Access to Elite Security Talent
We leverage our established reputation and incentivize top-tier white-hat hackers from platforms like Immunefi and HackerOne. Your DAO gains access to a global pool of expertise you couldn't easily recruit on your own.
Structured Payout Framework
We implement and manage a clear, severity-based reward schedule (Critical, High, Medium) based on CVSS standards. This eliminates payout disputes, ensures fair compensation for researchers, and protects your treasury from arbitrary claims.
Continuous Program Management
From setting up the program portal and rules to handling communications, payments, and disclosure coordination, we manage the entire operational lifecycle. Your team stays focused on building, not on bounty administration.
Enhanced Trust & Credibility
A professionally managed bounty program is a strong trust signal for your community and investors. It demonstrates a mature, security-first approach to protecting governance and treasury assets, which can be a key differentiator.
Actionable Security Intelligence
We provide detailed quarterly reports with vulnerability trends, attack vector analysis, and specific recommendations to harden your codebase. This turns bug reports into strategic insights for your development roadmap.
Managed Security Bounty vs. Traditional Audits
Traditional audits are a snapshot; our managed bounty program provides continuous, incentivized security coverage tailored for evolving DAO governance.

Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that are audit-ready from day one. Our development process integrates formal verification and security-first patterns from OpenZeppelin and Anchor.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,SPLtokens with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, and yield aggregators.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, supply chain tracking, and verifiable credential systems.
Deliver a secure, fully tested contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by comprehensive documentation and a 99.9% uptime SLA for deployed protocols.
DAO Security Bounty Program FAQs
Get clear answers on how our structured bug bounty program integrates with your DAO's governance lifecycle to proactively secure treasury assets and voting mechanisms.
Our process follows a structured 4-phase methodology: 1) Scoping & Rule-Setting (1 week): We analyze your governance contracts (e.g., Governor Bravo, OZ Governor) and treasury modules to define scope, severity tiers, and bounty amounts. 2) Program Launch: We deploy a private or public program on platforms like Immunefi or HackerOne, handling all setup and researcher onboarding. 3) Active Management: Our team triages all submissions, validates vulnerabilities, and facilitates communication between white-hats and your core team. 4) Closure & Reporting: We provide a detailed audit report of all findings and payouts. Typical end-to-end deployment is 3-4 weeks.
