He is the founder and CEO of Immunefi, the leading bug bounty and security services platform of the onchain economy, having directly prevented over $25 billion in hacks and thefts to date.

As Founder of Immunefi, Mitchell led or participated in dozens of onchain war rooms that saved billions from theft and negotiated the return of millions in stolen funds from international blackhat hackers. He developed the Scaling Bug Bounty Standard, played the leading role in driving adoption of bug bounty programs as a new security standard across the onchain economy, ultimately leading to creation of the most lucrative bug bounty programs available today, the biggest bug bounty payouts in online history.
