# How to start Bug Bounty

Thanks for choosing HackenProof as your platform for getting vulnerability reports! Our ethical hackers' community will help you to avoid hacks.

### Good to know

You can run bug bounty with any range of bounty, but <mark style="background-color:purple;">the larger the range of bounty the higher the chance that a hacker will be motivated to participate</mark> in your program but not exploit the issue.&#x20;

What do we need from you to run a bug bounty? Program policy that will include: Scope-targets, a Range of bounties, Rules, and a signed agreement & NDA (we will help you with all these things)
