Who’s Powering Web3 Security This Summer? Inside HackenProof’s Bug Bounty Event Programs

The Role of Bug Bounty Programs in Strengthening Security

Web3 continues to grow, but with growth comes greater responsibility – and security has become a top concern in 2025. HackenProof’s Summer Security: Last Catch Event brings together some of the industry’s most innovative companies, opening their programs to the ethical hacker community. By joining forces, these projects not only protect their users but also set new standards for security in Web3.

Why Programs Open Their Doors to Hackers

Bug bounty programs give companies the chance to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. For researchers, it’s a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the safety of millions of Web3 users. This collaboration is what makes bug bounty such a powerful tool: it turns potential threats into stronger defenses.

Meet the Projects Behind the Event

The Summer Security: Last Catch Event brings together a diverse lineup of programs – spanning Web3 infrastructure, trading, analytics, and even consumer platforms like travel booking. Each company has opened its doors to researchers, inviting them to test and strengthen their security.

Web3 Infrastructure & Smart Wallets

These core services enable millions to interact with decentralized applications daily. Their reliability directly impacts the safety of the entire ecosystem.

• MetaMask – Validator Staking Smart Contracts: focused on securing validator staking contracts that ensure network stability.
• Ethereum Foundation – Account Abstraction Bugs: testing the future of smart wallets through account abstraction, designed to improve both usability and security.
• Chainstack: protecting one of the leading Web3 infrastructure providers that powers DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and analytics projects worldwide.

Trading & Market Intelligence

Financial platforms are at the heart of Web3, processing massive volumes of transactions and sensitive data – making security absolutely critical.

• Flipster – Web & Mobile: a rapidly growing crypto derivatives exchange with 1M+ users and over $20B monthly trading volume.
• CoinGecko: the go-to crypto data aggregator, with a program focused on securing APIs and safeguarding user access to reliable market intelligence.

Travel & Consumer Platforms

Web3 adoption is expanding into traditional industries, where consumer platforms must ensure user trust and data protection.

• Tickets Travel Network – Updated UI: researchers can test the platform’s redesigned web interface for booking flights, trains, and buses.
• Tickets Travel Network – Mobile: focusing on the mobile app used by millions of travelers across the EMEA region.

By uniting such a broad spectrum of projects under one campaign, researchers gain the opportunity to apply their skills across diverse real-world applications – from low-level smart contracts to large-scale consumer apps.

Ready to Hunt?

The Summer Security: Last Catch Event runs from August 25th to September 25th. The hunt is open to all researchers – whether you’re just starting out or already active in bug bounty programs.
