Immunefi has facilitated over $66 million in rewards to whitehat hackers since its launch last year, according to the company’s website – including more than $20 million since January 2019 alone! This number includes bounties paid out during private rounds before public launch as well as new contributions made through the company’s open-source platform called Open Immune Framework (OIF). OIF aims to provide transparency into how funds are collected via various bug bounties while also offering better protection against fraud attempts by outside parties.”
