Introducing the first HackenProof Web3 Security Report — our 2025 Web3 Security Review

Introduction

2025 became a defining year for Web3 security.

The market matured, threat models evolved, regulatory pressure increased, and security moved from a “nice-to-have” to a core business requirement.

That’s why we’re proud to present the first-ever HackenProof Web3 Security Report — an annual research initiative where we step back from day-to-day operations and take a structured look at the industry as a whole.

In this report, we combine two perspectives:

• Market-wide analysis of Web3 security in 2025 — including bug bounty programs, audit contests, major exploits, regulatory shifts, ecosystem dynamics, and emerging security models.
• HackenProof’s own 2025 performance and data, reflecting how companies and security researchers actually interacted with our platform throughout the year.

Why does this matter for businesses?

Security decisions are rarely made in isolation. Understanding how the market behaves, where real risks materialize, and which security models scale effectively is essential for building resilient products, earning user trust, and planning for growth. Annual analysis and honest reflection are the foundation for better strategies — not only for security teams, but for leadership and product decision-makers as well.

This report represents our commitment to:

• transparency,
• data-driven security insights,
• and long-term collaboration between companies and ethical hackers.
