Introducing Guardian Defender — our app for free post-audit protection, backed by bounty rewards for Guardian clients.
At Guardian, we've always believed security is more than a rubber stamp. Web3 security is an ongoing, multi-faceted responsibility. Today, we're doubling down on providing our clients with the best protection and security solution possible.
We're proud to introduce Guardian Defender: a new layer of protection for clients after their audit is complete, backed by bounty rewards – completely covered by Guardian.
What's a Guardian Bounty Contest?
A Guardian Bounty Contest is a post-audit, fixed-duration contest where researchers can compete to find critical vulnerabilities in code already reviewed by Guardian. We’re putting real money on the line for any validated Critical Finding.
What It Means for Protocols
For approved clients, Bounty Contests are an extra shield before going live:
- You get free exposure to top-tier independent researchers.
- You get formal post-audit validation and competitive review pressure.
- And if anything is missed—you on the line to prove nothing critical was missed. We pay the reward.
It's the closest thing Web3 has to an insurance-backed audit.
Every contest is managed, funded, and adjudicated by Guardian.
What It Means for Security Researchers
For auditors looking to use our contest platform:
Each contest is:
- Time-boxed: 30 days per contest.
- Exclusive: Only hand-picked protocols that passed our full audit pipeline get listed.
- Focused: Scope is the audited smart contract codebase.
- Payout-backed
All you have to do is find something real. If your finding is:
- Unique
- Critical (loss of 20%+ of funds)
you win the pot.
You can read specific terms and conditions for participating in our bounty contests as a researcher here.
