Immunefi has confirmed that its native token, IMU, will officially launch on January 22. The update was shared by the platform on X and reported by Wu Blockchain. The announcement comes after Coinbase added IMU to its asset listing roadmap. Which has further raised interest around the launch.
Immunefi is best known as one of the largest security platforms in crypto. It helps protect DeFi projects by running bug bounty programs where ethical hackers report bugs before real attackers can exploit them. Over the years, the platform has worked with hundreds of protocols and helped protect billions of dollars in user funds. Now, Immunefi is taking its next step with the launch of its own token.
Immunefi focuses on one simple goal. That is keeping the crypto safe from hacks. The portal connects Web3 projects with security researchers that look for bugs and flaws in smart contracts. When a hacker finds a serious issue. The project can fix it before any real damage happens. In return, the researcher gets paid a reward. Some of these rewards have reached millions of dollars.
So far, Immunefi says it has helped protect more than $180 billion in crypto assets across over 650 projects. In a market where hacks are still common, security has become one of the most important parts of the crypto ecosystem.
Immunefi posted on X that its IMU token will go live on January 22. The team said the token is part of its long-term mission to make the on-chain world safer and ready to scale to trillions of dollars in value. According to the company, IMU will play a key role in how its security system works going forward.
Earlier, in November 2025, Immunefi also ran a public token sale on CoinList. The sale raised around $5 million with tokens priced at $0.01337 each. The system expects to distribute those tokens when trading begins.
Another major boost for IMU came when Coinbase added the token to its asset listing roadmap. This does not guarantee an exchange listing, but it usually signals that a token is under review. For many traders, this move increased confidence in the project. Coinbase listings frequently increase visibility and liquidity for new tokens.
Immunefi designed the IMU token to support its security system. Projects may use IMU to access premium security services. Researchers may earn IMU as rewards. The team may also use the token for staking and community programs inside the Immunefi ecosystem. The goal is to build a full security network where developers, researchers and users all benefit from keeping crypto safe.
With hacks still causing major losses across crypto, security platforms are becoming more important than ever. Immunefi already has a strong reputation in the space. The launch of IMU adds a new layer to its model.
As the launch date approaches, the crypto community is going to watch closely how the token performs and how fast adoption grows. Currently, Immunefi message is clear: security is no longer optional. IMU is here to help protect the future of Web3.
