Mitchell Amador is the Founder and CEO of Immunefi, the leading bug bounty and security services platform of the onchain economy. Working at the front lines of Web3 security, he has directly helped prevent over $25 billion in hacks and thefts across the ecosystem.
Through Immunefi’s growth, he has helped protect many of the ecosystem’s most critical protocols, including MakerDAO, Optimism, Filecoin, LayerZero, Chainlink, Arbitrum, Lido, and Polygon.
Mitchell has led and participated in dozens of live onchain incident response war rooms, stopping exploits in real time and negotiating the return of millions in stolen funds from international blackhat actors.
He played a central role in scaling bug bounties from an experimental practice into a core security standard for Web3, developing the Scaling Bug Bounty Standard and helping drive the largest bug bounty payouts in online history. He also contributed to the creation of the Whitehat Safe Harbor framework as part of SEAL’s founding working group.
Beyond security, Mitchell is a Founder of Instituto New Economy, Portugal’s leading blockchain policy think tank, and the creator of Reg3, Europe’s premier regulatory conference for onchain innovation.
He is also an angel investor and DAO contributor, advising teams building at the frontier of the onchain economy. Across these roles, he has become a defining voice on onchain security as critical market infrastructure, focused on exploit prevention, coordinated disclosure, and incentive-aligned defense models.
