Opinion by: Mitchell Amador, founder and CEO of Immunefi Crypto’s best defense against catastrophic hacks isn’t code — it’s incentives. Bug bounties have prevented billions in losses, and it’s important to emphasize that these billions could have been exploits, not responsible disclosures, if the right incentives hadn’t been set up.
