AvengerDAO Expands Security Support & Bug Bounty

2026.8.12  •  3 min read
Blog post image.

TL;DR

  • AvengerDAO offers a suite of readily available services offered by participating ecosystem security firms and tools to protect BNB chain users. 
  • The core security services include Marketplace, 5-pillar Security Standard and Bug Bounty. 
  • 11 security firms are already on board, handpicked by the BNB Chain security team.
  • Projects can contact a partner directly, or ask AvengerDAO's admin team for help. No application needed.

Three Years of Falling Losses

BNB Chain's security numbers have moved in the right direction for three years straight. Losses fell 85% in 2023, another 69% in 2024, and 56% again in 2025, as AvengerDAO's network of risk scoring, threat alerts, and partner firms caught more threats before they caused damage.

AvengerDAO has anchored that progress since it launched as BNB Chain's security initiative. Now it's expanding into something bigger: a marketplace that gives every BNB Chain project, not just the well-funded ones, access to the same security firms and a shared standard to build against.

What's Actually Changing

AvengerDAO already does real work. Its risk-scoring API feeds threat alerts and contract ratings straight into BscScan and partner wallets, and its member firms served over 38 million risk warnings across platforms like TrustWallet and PancakeSwap in 2023 alone, helping recover $7.3 million from incidents that year.

The relaunch builds on that. Instead of one shared risk feed, projects now get a directory of security firms, each offering its own tools and services, plus a standard every BNB Chain project can build against. 11 security firms are already part of it, handpicked by the BNB Chain security team for their track record on BNB Chain and beyond.

Three Pillars of Security

AvengerDAO now runs on three pillars designed to give builders a clearer path to stronger security, from development through launch and beyond.

Security Marketplace: Find the Right Security Support

The AvengerDAO Security Marketplace brings security services and tools from 11 firms into one place.

Builders can compare what each firm offers and contact them directly, without going through an AvengerDAO application process. Teams that are unsure what they need can also ask the AvengerDAO admin team for guidance.

BNB-SS: A Shared Security Standard for BNB Chain

BNB-SS gives builders a practical framework for what good security should look like across five areas:

  • Governance
  • Access control
  • Oracle integrations
  • Secure development
  • Bridge security

Instead of figuring out security requirements from scratch, teams can build against a shared checklist and complete a compliance review. Projects that pass can receive an official BNB-SS security badge. The badge is not a guarantee of safety, but it gives builders a clearer benchmark to work toward and users a stronger signal that core security practices have been reviewed.

Bug Bounty: Keep Testing After Launch

The AvengerDAO Bug Bounty program gives researchers a direct channel to report vulnerabilities, with rewards based on severity.

For builders, that means security does not stop at an audit or launch. There is an ongoing incentive for researchers to find issues before attackers do.

Together, the three pillars give builders a more practical security path: find the right expertise, build against a clear standard, and keep testing after launch.

Launching on BNB Chain? Start Here

If you're launching on BNB Chain, "get security-ready" now has a starting point. You don't need an existing relationship with an audit firm or a budget for a full audit to get help. The BNB-SS checklist gives you something concrete to check yourself against, and the admin team is there if you get stuck.

For teams that already work with one of the 11 partner firms, nothing about that relationship changes. AvengerDAO doesn't sit between you and your auditor.

For Users: What the Badge Means

The badge is the visible part. A project that's passed BNB-SS compliance carries a signal that its contracts, bridges, governance, and admin keys have been checked against a real standard, not just self-reported. It doesn't guarantee a project won't fail. No badge does. But it raises the floor for what launching on BNB Chain means, building on a trend that's already three years in the making.

What’s Next

A pre-launch security review service is in the works and will be announced separately when it's ready. For now, the marketplace and BNB-SS are the two pieces going live.
