Researchers no longer need points to receive private program invitations on Bugcrowd, instead, invitations are based on researchers' proven skills and dollars earned on the platform. The new system aims to provide more accurate representations of a researcher's ranking, status, or aptitude. By focusing on skills and earnings, Bugcrowd can better match researchers with programs that need their expertise. This change also allows for more respect to be given to top performers who have delivered significant value through their findings. Researchers can increase their chances of receiving invitations by demonstrating their proficiency in specific areas, earning more dollars, and providing more information about themselves on the platform.
