# Request for Bounty Payout - December 2023
AI summary
This proposal requests the Aave DAO to approve a total payout of 23,600 DAI from its treasury. These funds are intended for bug bounties, which are rewards paid to ethical hackers (white-hats) who identify and report security vulnerabilities in the Aave protocol. The payouts are for various bug reports submitted in December 2023, and also include a fee for the Immunefi platform, which facilitates these bug bounty programs.
If this proposal passes, 23,600 DAI will be disbursed from the Aave treasury to three white-hat hackers for their security contributions and to Immunefi for its service. This ensures that security researchers are promptly rewarded, encouraging continued efforts to secure the Aave protocol, which benefits all users by maintaining a safer platform.
