🦋 Project News & Updates

xDai collaborates with Immunefi to offer $2 Million Bug Bounty for Bridge.

This is the largest know bug bounty currently in the Defi Space! As xDai usage continues to grow, security of user funds is our number one priority. Immunify is leading the way in the white hat space, and this collaboration sets a new standard for security. We plan to offer additional bounties for our other applications to provide xDai users piece of mind with the xDai protocol.
