Crowdsourced Audit

Explore Crowdsourced Security Audits

No single auditor sees everything. A crowdsourced audit opens your code to a global community of vetted security researchers, each bringing a unique perspective, methodology, and skill set to the review.

Two Formats, One Community

Both formats give you access to the same global community of 82,000+ verified security researchers. The difference is in how your budget is structured and when you pay.

Traditional Crowdsourced Audit

A time-boxed open contest where researchers compete to find vulnerabilities. Your budget is committed upfront and distributed across valid findings.

Fixed budget at launch
Criticals get 40% of the budget
Maximum researcher motivation
Works for private and public code
Triage and final report included

Conditional Crowdsourced Audit

A flexible model where you pay per confirmed finding by severity. If no valid vulnerabilities are found in a severity category, the deposit for that category is refunded.

Refund for categories with no findings
Higher rates for criticals
Higher rewards, more competition
Works for private and public code
Triage and final report included

Features Shared Across Both Formats

Regardless of which format you choose, every crowdsourced audit comes with the same community, infrastructure, and quality standards.

Verified Participants

Our community includes 82,000+ security researchers, 40+ professional auditing companies, and over 30 AI agents. Depending on your needs, we can engage participants with proven skills that match your scope and budget.

Expert Triage Team

Every submitted report passes through our dedicated triage team, supported by AI triage agents. Reports are reviewed, validated, and refined, so your team only sees confirmed, actionable vulnerabilities.

Controlled Process

The audit runs on a fixed commit — we snapshot or fork the repository at launch, so the review covers a consistent codebase while your development continues. The entire process runs through our Vulnerability Coordination Platform, with KYC-verified participants and NDA protection for both private and public code.

How Does a Crowdsourced Audit Work?

A transparent, time-boxed process from scoping to final report. Each stage has a clear duration, and the overall timeline scales with codebase size and complexity.

Scope (1 day)

We outline the primary targets, provide budget and duration estimates, and establish the terms of the contest. The codebase is fixed at a specific commit — we snapshot or fork the repository — so the code under review stays consistent throughout.

Audit (10–35 days)

The contest opens to the community. Security researchers actively hunt for vulnerabilities, submitting detailed reports that describe each finding, its potential impact, and suggested remediation steps. Duration is scaled to the size and complexity of the codebase.

Triage (2–3 days)

Our dedicated triage team reviews every submitted report, validates that each finding is genuine and reproducible, refines reports for clarity, and provides actionable guidance on remediation, so your team only acts on confirmed issues.

Report (1 day)

Compiling the final branded report takes one day. All confirmed findings are consolidated with severity ratings, detailed descriptions, and recommended fixes into a single professional deliverable.

Remediation (up to 20 days)

The timeframe for implementing fixes varies based on your team's resources and the number of findings. Our team provides comprehensive fix recommendations and guidance throughout this period.

Which Format Is Right for Your Project?

Choose the format that fits your budget, risk tolerance, and coverage goals.

Traditional

You want maximum coverage
High-value or complex codebase
Dedicated security budget in place
Preparing for launch or major release

Conditional

Cost-effective for large codebases
Budget depends on actual findings
You want a refund if the code is clean
Testing the waters before a bigger program
