📌 $10 Million Bug Bounty Saved Billions 🛡️
-
The largest single Web3 payout went to a white hat who uncovered a fatal flaw in Wormhole’s crosschain bridge, potentially saving billions. Critical bugs in high-TVL projects can result in $1M–$14M rewards.
Strategy: Learn smart contract auditing and cross-chain vulnerabilities — the payoff is proportional to the risk you prevent. -
it is not easy for a simple user
-
Crazy how bug bounties in Web3 can pay more than winning a startup exit. One line of vulnerable code could be worth millions if caught early.
-
Cross-chain bridges are basically the weak spot of the whole ecosystem. If I was learning security today, I’d go all-in on bridge auditing.

$14M bounty >>> $0 lost in an exploit. Cheaper for protocols, life-changing for researchers. Incentives are finally aligned.
