Company
Cantina is a web3 security marketplace created to connect blockchain projects with top-tier independent security researchers. It was launched to make blockchain security services like smart contract audits, bug bounties, and penetration testing more accessible and transparent. By offering a platform where teams can find and collaborate with vetted experts, Cantina helps improve the security posture of decentralized applications and protocols.
The platform offers two main ways to engage with researchers. In Cantina Managed, the Cantina team matches clients with a high-quality auditing group based on the project’s needs. In Cantina Guilds, clients can browse and choose specific teams or individuals they want to work with. Cantina also features crowdsourced competitions, where large groups of researchers hunt for bugs within a limited time window, creating fast and cost-effective security reviews.
Cantina provides a streamlined experience for both clients and researchers. For clients, it means faster access to audits, flexible pricing, and simplified project coordination. For researchers, Cantina offers legal protection, stable payments, and the chance to build a public reputation in the ecosystem. By lowering barriers and raising standards, Cantina is helping shape a more secure future for the web3 space.
