A Strategic Partnership Bridging Web2 and Web3 Security
As blockchain adoption accelerates across financial services and enterprises, security must evolve to meet the associated complexities.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between Cantina and HackerOne. Through this collaboration, HackerOne’s network will gain access to the world’s top Web3 security researchers - specialists with deep experience in smart contracts, blockchain infrastructure, and onchain systems.
This partnership is already driving results for leading institutions. Coinbase, one of the world’s most trusted cryptocurrency platforms, secures billions in assets while powering innovations like Base. As their ecosystem expanded, so did the complexity of securing both centralized infrastructure and onchain products.
To meet this challenge, Coinbase launched two complementary bug bounty programs:
- One Web2-focused program on HackerOne, covering centralized infrastructure.
- One Web3-focused program on Cantina, covering onchain products and smart contracts.
By uniting Cantina’s Web3 expertise with HackerOne’s Web2 strength, Coinbase gained:
- Comprehensive coverage that secures all critical assets from cloud and web app infrastructure to smart contracts and blockchain protocols
- Proactive risk reduction for both onchain and offchain vulnerabilities
- End-to-end security scaled across all fronts without additional internal headcount or diverting existing team members from core innovation
- Ongoing trust and visibility across both Web2 and Web3 communities by demonstrating their organization meets the highest security standards for both centralized and decentralized industries
Whether you’re entering the blockchain space for the first time or scaling mission-critical infrastructure, Cantina and HackerOne share one mission: to provide the highest standard of security for technologies that demand trust, resilience, and precision.
