AvengerDAO's BNB Chain Security Marketplace adds six providers, reaching 17 firms
In brief
- AvengerDAO's Security Marketplace added six security firms, bringing its roster to 17.
- The marketplace launched August 12, 2026 with an initial cohort of 11 firms.
- Projects can engage listed firms directly, without submitting an application first.
- BNB-SS, a new AvengerDAO security standard, is built around five pillars.
From 11 firms to 17
The marketplace launched on August 12, 2026 with 11 firms, and Crypto Briefing reported that the number had climbed to 17 by October. The report doesn't name the six newcomers. The setup is simple: firms are screened before they're listed, so developers on BNB Chain get a shortlist that's already been vetted.
Projects don't have to submit an application first. They can engage directly with the listed security firms, and the marketplace also includes bug bounty support.
That's six additions in roughly two months.
A security standard alongside it
AvengerDAO also introduced the BNB-SS security standard alongside the marketplace. It's built around five pillars, and governance and oracle integrations are among them.
The DAO itself isn't new. AvengerDAO launched on September 20, 2022, as part of BNB Chain's push to protect users against exploits and scams, and its first partners included CertiK, SlowMist and PancakeSwap. Its risk APIs issued 38 million warnings in 2025 alone, according to Crypto Briefing.
What the loss data shows
Crypto Briefing cited research findings (it doesn't identify who produced them) showing that BNB Chain's security losses fell 85% in 2023. According to the same findings, losses dropped another 69% in 2024 and 56% in 2025, which makes three consecutive years of reductions.
The report presents those falling loss figures as a potential confidence boost for projects tied to AvengerDAO and as a factor that could make BNB Chain projects more attractive to investors. That's Crypto Briefing's framing, and the report doesn't put a number on either effect.
What's measurable for now is the roster: 11 firms at launch, 17 today, and a direct-engagement model that skips the application step.
