Big news from Immunefi: we just shipped Proof of Duplicate, and it's *the* feature I've been wanting to see for a long time.
For years, one of the most frustrating experiences a whitehat could have was submitting a report, putting in the hours of research, the careful write-up, the working PoC… and getting back a one-line "duplicate, closing."
No justification and no transparency. No way to push back. That era is over.
Starting now, when a submission is closed as a duplicate, it points to the original report. The researcher can read the original. They can compare the reports for themselves... and if they believe the call was wrong, they get a formal dispute button.
Verdict upheld means the report stays closed. If the verdict is overturned, the report gets reopened and goes back through triage like nothing happened, including reward eligibility.
This matters beyond the feature itself. The whitehat community is the immune system of crypto. Every protocol secured, every exploit prevented, every billion in TVL that didn't get drained.
For this immune system to keep working, things have to keep improving for whitehats. Proof of Duplicate is just one piece. There will be more.
SR Summer 2026 is coming.
