$500M GPS Security Fund: Rebuilding the Value Loop of the Web3 Security Ecosystem

In the world of Web3, what are we really trading? Is it code, trust, or simply a string of numbers that could be instantly consumed by a malicious contract? Every second, $157,000 in assets are lost to the dark forest—which means we’re not trading code, but undervalued security rights. GoPlus has launched a 500 million GPS Security Fund (≈$10 million), creating the first on-chain marketplace for security contributions, monetizing security, and assigning tangible value to the efforts of users, developers, and project teams. This represents a transformation in the Web3 security model—where every contribution to security is rewarded sustainably, making “everyone a security co-creator” a practical reality for the ecosystem.

500 Million GPS Security Fund: Pioneering Market-Driven Security Valuation

The launch of the 500 million GPS Security Fund marks a systematic approach to pricing security in Web3. While traditional internet companies saw security as a cost center, Web3’s decentralized structure allows security contributors to have their value recognized directly by the market.

Within this fund, 400 million GPS serves as the earnings foundation—those staking GPS receive three key benefits:

·Base annual yield (APY)

·Dividends from ecosystem security events (such as token airdrops from projects enabled by enhanced security)

·Buybacks conducted by the GPS security ecosystem

The remaining 100 million GPS is set aside to create a “Security Bounty Board”:

·Submit security intelligence: malicious addresses, phishing sites, etc. (up to 10,000 GPS per submission)

·Risk warning reports: 200–1,000 GPS per report

·Staker voting to determine reward allocation (via community governance system)

This two-tiered model—combining basic protection with additional incentives—not only meets the stable return expectations of most participants but also creates major value opportunities for security informants and developers.

Skepticism may arise around a 200% APY, but a closer look at the fund’s mechanism reveals it’s not just short-term hype. A dynamic replenishment mechanism ensures the fund is topped up in real time as staking grows; transparent reporting makes all staking and dividend data public; a continuous issuance mechanism helps maintain high returns over the long run. With 40 million GPS currently staked against a 400 million reward pool, there’s a 1:10 safety buffer—which shows GoPlus’s deep understanding of sustainability. The Security Fund is built to develop a long-term security ecosystem, not just to produce short-lived financial gains.

The design of the special incentive pool is even more groundbreaking for the industry. In the past, vulnerability submissions and risk warnings relied on developer enthusiasm or ad hoc rewards, making it nearly impossible to establish systematic security defenses. Now, the 100 million GPS incentive pool employs a quantifiable “security contribution” model: every submitted malicious address, phishing site, or risk alert is converted into an accumulated earnings certificate. This innovation fundamentally changes the challenge of “unpaid security work,” turning ecosystem protection into a viable long-term profession.

The Value Logic Behind the Returns

The GoPlus Security Fund generates yields based on the value created by Web3 security infrastructure—not by speculative money games. This value is realized in three ways: ongoing technical iteration, expanding business coverage, and standardized security solutions. The Security Fund doesn’t just deliver short-term yields—it fosters a cycle of shared value, allowing all ecosystem participants to benefit together.

For regular users, staking GPS for strong annual returns means sharing in the growth of Web3 security infrastructure. For security informants and developers, the special incentive pool provides not just bonuses, but a gateway for their technical skills to be recognized by the market. For project teams, improved security means lower operational risk and greater user trust. This positive loop—users earn → more join → ecosystem becomes safer → value grows even more—captures the heart of decentralized collaboration in Web3.

The Industry’s Path Forward

The introduction of the 500 million GPS Security Fund signifies a strategic turning point—moving security infrastructure from a cost center to a value generator. For Web3 to move beyond a niche experiment and achieve mainstream adoption, it must solve three core challenges: efficiency, fairness, and security. The GoPlus model, using market-driven incentives, turns security infrastructure into an engine for generating ecosystem value, likely paving the way for mass Web3 deployment.

The fund’s positive network effect is already in motion: as more security professionals join the defense network for incentives, vulnerabilities are identified and fixed faster; as regular users stake and contribute, collective awareness grows; as project teams build on GoPlus security, industry standards rise.

The rationale for token appreciation is clear: the security fund boosts staking demand, staking increases, strengthening GPS value consensus, more resources go toward security infrastructure, ecosystem security improves, more users and projects join, GPS use cases expand, and token value and rewards reinforce each other in a positive loop. This value chain, which links security investment to asset growth and is grounded in actual ecosystem development, is what gives a token enduring value through market cycles.

The Era of Co-Builders

The initial 30%–200% cumulative return isn’t just a reward for early adopters—it’s like a “founder’s share” in building the Web3 security ecosystem. As more users stake GPS and become real stakeholders in security, community engagement and focus on security will reach new heights.

For security informants and developers, the 100 million GPS incentive pool has created a whole new professional platform, where technical skills instantly convert to financial rewards and security contributions build industry reputation. For regular users, staking GPS in the Security Fund is the best way to learn Web3 security and strengthen risk awareness through hands-on participation.

The debut of the GoPlus 500 million GPS Security Fund arrives at a pivotal juncture, as Web3 shifts from “wild growth” to structured, compliant development. Those who build the most robust security infrastructure will secure the high ground in Web3’s next phase. This is not a zero-sum money game, but a historic opportunity to co-create ecosystem security—every GPS staked represents a vote for the future of Web3 security.

We hope the “everyone is a security guardian” movement started by the 500 million GPS Security Fund will pave the way for making “Web3 security as core infrastructure” a reality. Now is the time to join, witness, and help shape the future of Web3 security—where, in an ecosystem where security and earnings go hand in hand, every individual contribution is reflected in Web3’s foundational value ledger.
