AvengerDAO has expanded its security marketplace to include 17 total security firms, up from the initial 11 at the platform's launch in August 2026. This portal serves as a direct access point for BNB Chain projects seeking vetted security expertise and bug bounty support.
Why it matters
The marketplace aims to reduce ecosystem vulnerabilities by connecting developers directly with security professionals. This expansion arrives after BNB Chain saw consecutive annual declines in security losses, including drops of 85% in 2023, 69% in 2024, and 56% in 2025.
The marketplace now hosts 17 firms, an increase of six from the 11 firms present at its August 2026 launch. In 2025, AvengerDAO risk APIs generated 38 million security warnings to support the ecosystem.
The players
AvengerDAO
A security initiative focused on the BNB Chain ecosystem that provides risk APIs and developer tools.
BNB Chain
A decentralized blockchain network that integrates the AvengerDAO security framework to protect its developers.
The details
The marketplace functions as a coordination hub where projects can engage directly with listed security firms without requiring a formal application process. It also integrates dedicated bug bounty support, which allows independent researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities within the BNB Chain infrastructure. These tools build upon the broader AvengerDAO initiative, which has issued millions of warnings to detect and mitigate malicious activity.
Timeline
September 20, 2022: AvengerDAO launched.
August 12, 2026: The Security Marketplace was launched.
October 2026: The marketplace reached a total of 17 security firms.
The Tech Race
This marketplace expansion sits within the broader BNB Chain security risk mitigation program. It follows a multi-year effort to centralize security resources, a move validated by the documented year-over-year declines in network losses.
Developers working on BNB Chain can now access a larger pool of vetted security firms directly through the portal. This simplifies the procurement of security services and vulnerability research without the need for additional application overhead.
The takeaway
The platform's growth signals a shift toward streamlined, direct access to security audits and bounty programs for developers. Watch for future performance reports from BNB Chain to see if this increase in active security firms correlates with a further decline in annual security losses.
