Introducing Safe Harbor: Your Last Line of Defense Against Active Exploits
At Immunefi, we understand the need for last-line protection of your project.
That is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of Safe Harbor!
Safe Harbor is designed for projects that want to provide legal protection and financial rewards to whitehats who engage in good faith recovery efforts during an active blackhat exploit of their protocol. In these cases, having a framework for whitehats to intervene to save funds and return them to the project is preferable to facing potentially unbounded losses.
By integrating and strengthening the Safe Harbor framework from the Security Alliance— the most legally defensible and protective agreement available for whitehats and projects — Immunefi offers a secure implementation of Safe Harbor that seamlessly integrates with your existing bug bounty dashboard and enables asset recovery by our top-of-the-line security researcher community.
We believe in Safe Harbor. That’s why we’ve enabled it for Immunefi smart contracts, such as the Vaults System.

Unmatched Security with Trusted Immunefi Infrastructure
Immunefi’s Safe Harbor provides a credible and secure channel for whitehats to intervene and return funds to the project during an active blackhat exploit. By using Immunefi’s existing Vault system, Safe Harbor ensures that whitehats return funds into a clear, third-party-verified, project-controlled wallet every time. Additionally, Safe Harbor leverages our bug report disclosure dashboard, allowing projects to use the same emergency alert system they are already familiar with, without the need for additional infrastructure setup.
Legal Protections and Financial Incentives for Security Researchers
Security researchers are vital to protecting the blockchain ecosystem, especially during active exploits. Safe Harbor provides security researchers with the robust legal protections and financial incentives needed to ensure that their interventions will be appreciated, rewarded, and protected. This new offering was meticulously crafted with input from some of the world’s most cyber-sophisticated lawyers, firms, and security experts. It expressly forbids all malicious hacking activities, ensuring that only those acting responsibly to protect a project during an active exploit benefit from its powerful legal safeguards.
A New Standard in Blockchain Security
Immunefi has successfully driven the adoption of bug bounty standards where none previously existed, and we are poised to do the same for Safe Harbor. As the main provider of last-line-of-defense solutions for on-chain protocols under the most severe and demanding conditions, Immunefi’s Safe Harbor sets a new benchmark for security in the blockchain space.
By adopting Safe Harbor, projects gain a powerful new tool to protect assets against active blackhat exploits. This product is not just an addition to your security measures; it’s a crucial line of defense that ensures projects are supported by the best security community in the world.
With Safe Harbor, you can face the future with confidence, knowing that Immunefi has your back.
