Excluded Platforms
Why Platforms Are Excluded
Platforms with private programs, NDA requirements, invite-only access, or restrictive Terms of Service are excluded to avoid legal risk.
Excluded Platforms
| Platform | Reason for Exclusion |
|---|---|
| HackerOne | Private programs, enterprise ToS restricts aggregation |
| Bugcrowd | Managed programs have NDAs, similar ToS restrictions |
| Synack | Invite-only, NDA-heavy, closed platform |
| Code4rena | IP-banned + time-gated contests (not continuous bounties) |
| Cantina | Curated/invite-only access |
| Intigriti | EU enterprise, mixed private programs |
| YesWeHack | EU enterprise, mixed private programs |
| Cobalt | Pentest model, not bounties — different business model |
Vetting Criteria
Platforms must meet ALL of these to be included:
- ✅ Public program listings (no login required to see bounties)
- ✅ Open participation (anyone can submit)
- ✅ No restrictive ToS on third-party discovery/aggregation
- ✅ No NDA requirements for hunters
- ✅ No invite-only gatekeeping
Future Platform Additions
New platforms can be added via governance vote ($PROWL stakers decide). Any platform addition must pass the same vetting criteria.
