Leader of the decentralized financial platform on Solana, Kamino, announced the biggest chain bonus bonuse program to date in partnership with Immunefi, a main incentive cybersecurity project focused on crypto, the challenge and the web3. Bug Bounty begins on Monday October 6 and, so far, has no deadlines.
Overall, the program is structured in two categories: (i) intelligent contracts and (ii) websites and applications. Intelligent contracts pay the highest bonuses, structured by the threat level: critical, high and medium.
Any critical vulnerability reported will reward the independent auditor with 10% of funds directly assigned, up to a maximum of 1.5 million dollars and up to $ 150,000 for encouragement. High and high -level smart contract bugs will pay up to $ 100,000 and $ 10,000, respectively. Website and applications are up to $ 50,000 and $ 10,000 for critical and high -level threats.
Before this Immunefi campaign, Kamino has self-held his bug bonuses for three years, with significant security improvements. In addition, the protocol is counting on an open -source and publicly verifiable code, more than 18 previous audits and verifiable onchain builds – by cutting security in priority.
Now, “thanks to this partnership, Kamino’s contracts are tested by the largest network of industry security researchers,” said the announcement on October 6.
In particular, the history of immunity speak of itself as a key security service provider in the industry. According to Kamino’s position, the project has actually protected more than $ 190 billion in user funds, paying more than $ 120 million in independent security experts, discovering “countless critical vulnerabilities that audits had missed”.
While Immunefi has directly contributed and disclosed significant figures on the exploits prevented thanks to its bug bonuses, many other Defi projects have accumulated enormous losses due to exploited vulnerabilities that are not in due time via private or independent audits.
According to several sources, there were around 144 successful exploits in DEFI in 2025. Q1 recorded 38 incidents, the Q2 had an approximate estimate of 75 incidents and approximately 31 incidents.
However, crypto hacking losses fell 37% in the third quarter to $ 509 million, according to Cintelelelegraph, but September experienced a record increase in incidents of $ 1 million, led by Exchange and DEFI Exploits. Before that, August recorded the third consecutive month of an increase in cryptographic hacks, Coanspeaker reported. Another July report calculated more than $ 2.1 billion lost in more than 75 crypto hacks in 2025 H1. Of the $ 2.1 billion in July, $ 357 million was recorded in April only – a number 11 times higher than that in May.
