Auto is a BEP-20 token and is secured using the [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) consensus mechanism. Autofarm also performs periodic checks on its smart contracts to ensure that their vaults are not susceptible to exploits or hacks. Autofarm also has a [bug bounty](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bug-bounty) program in association with Immunefi, a premier bug bounty platform. The bug bounty program rewards up to $100,000 to community members and developers who detect vulnerabilities on the Autofarm smart contract.
