Home / Glossary / Bot Mitigation

What is Bot Mitigation?

Bot mitigation is the practice of detecting automated traffic and deciding what to do with it: block it, challenge it, slow it down, or feed it decoy data.

How it works

Detection layers signals from the network edge, the browser, and behavior over time. Good systems score traffic instead of making one-shot block decisions.

Why it matters for social platforms

Without mitigation, bots set your costs, skew your data, and decide who gets your inventory. For your platform, that means user trust stay protected and your users get a fair experience.

How BondProof detects it

BondProof scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real your users. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your platform.
