KEY FEATURES

Bug Bounties,
the Sherlock Way

See why Sherlock is the bug bounty platform trusted by leading protocols—with ranked researchers, expert triage, and integrated coverage that makes it the most effective and reliable option for post-launch security.

Problem
Bug bounty programs usually take 3-4 weeks and a lot of work to set up
Solution
Sherlock defaults to Critical-only which limits spam and allows your team to focus on your product
Problem
The triaging process on other platforms is cumbersome and wastes the team's valuable time
Solution
Our Lead Auditors are the first to review every submission. We’ll only escalate bugs to you that are worth your time.
Problem
Most bounty programs are overwhelmed with spam submissions
Solution
To prevent spam submissions, bounty hunters must stake $250 to submit a vulnerability. If the vulnerability is valid, this $250 will be returned.

HOW IT WORKS

We Have the Logistics Covered

Launching a Sherlock bug bounty is fast, flexible, and fully managed. You stay focused on building—we handle the bounty mechanics and the researcher network.

Seamless Setup Post-Audit

After completing a Sherlock audit, you have the option to launch a bug bounty program. Since Sherlock is already familiar with your codebase, the setup is swift—taking less than two minutes—with most fields pre-filled.

Stake to Submit

Bounty hunters must stake $250 to submit a vulnerability. This prevents countless AI-generated submissions from wasting your time.

White Glove Triage Service
