DualDefense FAQ

Our DualDefense is a service bundle that uniquely combines the strengths of Hacken services and HackenProof crowdsourced audits, ensured by the Hacken community. After the main audit, independent bug hunters additionally review your code. If critical bugs are found during the 30-day Crowdsourced Audit period, rewards are covered by the Hacken DualDefense Flash Pools.
A game-changing security solution with comprehensive expertise and continuous engagement: Your code undergoes a meticulous review process, first by Hacken’s dedicated auditors and then by a global community of HackenProof white hats. This layered approach ensures that your code is examined from multiple angles, providing a comprehensive assessment that covers both known vulnerabilities and emerging threats. The collaborative effort between auditors and white hats ensures that your project benefits from a diverse set of eyes, increasing the likelihood of identifying and mitigating potential risks.

More security: By combining audits with crowdsourced assessments, your project benefits from a more efficient use of resources. The risk-sharing model with the Hacken community means that your project is protected from the financial burden of unexpected bug bounty payouts. This approach allows you to allocate your treasury more effectively, ensuring that critical security issues are managed without straining your financial resources.
Any of our Smart Contract Audits, Blockchain Protocol Audits, Penetration Tests, and dApp Audits are eligible for DualDefense.
Your project's source code does not need to be public during the Hacken audit stage. However, for the crowdsourced audit phase, the code should be made accessible to independent researchers on HackenProof.
A critical vulnerability is a severe security flaw that could lead to significant financial loss, unauthorized access, or compromise of the system's integrity. If a critical vulnerability is found, you get to be the first to uncover it, verified by the HackenProof triage team. The white hat hacker who identifies the flaw is rewarded from the DualDefense FlashPool, so you don't pay for the crowdsourced audit. Hacken provides immediate remediation on the spot, ensuring enhanced security and comprehensive protection for your project.
While we prioritize critical findings, all issues, including high, medium, and low, are carefully reviewed. Clients will be able to see all findings in their HackenProof account, ensuring transparency. However, only critical issues are eligible for rewards under the DualDefense framework.
DualDefense is powered by DualDefense Flash Pools – 30-day staking smart contracts. The reward and APY are generated through Hacken sharing its revenue and $HAI holders staking their tokens in DualDefense Flash Pools. The Hacken team contributes USDC into the Flash Pool (typically a share of the audit cost), and $HAI holders stake their tokens as well. Clients gain enhanced security and comprehensive protection, while $HAI stakers can earn up to 180% APY.
