Flywheel

One Token. One Flywheel. A Safer Onchain Future.

$IMU brings together protocols, security researchers, and the community in a self-reinforcing flywheel, compounding value with every cycle. Each piece of the flywheel strengthens the next, driving adoption.

Credits | Protocols

Protocols participating in the Immunefi Magnus ecosystem: 

a) Earn $IMU credits as they enhance their security
b) Stake $IMU to unlock discounts and premium security features that make them safer

Boost | Security Researchers

Staking $IMU that unlock boosted rewards which super charges earning potential for researchers thus inviting an influx of talent in to the Immunefi flywheel  

This encourages alignment with the Foundation’s mission.

Patrons | Protocol Users and Communities

The Patrons Program will let community members bond IMU to back security researchers and protocols they believe in and benefit from the impact they help create. 

Bonding behind security researchers helps those researchers reach higher contribution tiers while those who bond tokens share in their rewards as they strengthen the ecosystem through valid bug reports and contributions. The more impactful the researcher, and the more IMU staked, the higher the shared IMU returns for both. 

Bonding behind projects will directly strengthen their security initiatives and earn rewards for supporting a safer ecosystem, with these rewards custom designed with each project. 

In both cases, staking unlocks onchain rewards for advancing the shared goal of a more secure web3 economy.

Viewed holistically - Each component reinforced the other.

Protocols invest in security → Researchers secure protocols → Communities amplify incentives → The cycle repeats, compounding ecosystem value.

This self-reinforcing flywheel advances the broader Immunefi ecosystem by improving vulnerability data quality, enriching AI-driven insights, and strengthening the defense of the onchain world.
