On-chain history is immutable. Let's celebrate it 🧐🤓











I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K. I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it. - #1 — Attackathon | Stacks - #2 — Attackathon | Stacks II - #1 — Attackathon | XRPL Lending Protocol - 1 Critical and 1 High from bug bounties (not counting this one) Life was good. Then I found a Critical vulnerability in @injective . This vulnerability allowed any user to directly drain any account on the chain. No special permissions needed. Over $500M in on-chain assets were at risk. I reported it through Immunefi. The next day, a mainnet upgrade to fix the bug went to governance vote. The Injective team clearly understood the severity. Then — silence. For 3 months. No follow up. No technical discussion. Nothing. A few days ago, they notified me of their decision: $50K. The maximum payout for a Critical vulnerability in their bug bounty program is $500K. I disputed it. Silence again. No explanation for the reduced payout. No explanation for the 3 month ghost. No conversation at all. To be clear: the $50K has not been paid either. I've seen others share bad experiences with bug bounty payouts recently. I never thought it would happen to me. I can't force them to do the right thing. But I won't let this be forgotten. I will dedicate 10% of all my future bug bounty earnings to making sure this story stays visible — until Injective pays what I deserve. Full Technical Report: github.com/injective-wall…







The 3 months comes from the same self-reported timeline as the $500M headline , no Immunefi submission ID, no screenshots, no case reference. The patch commit is public. Anyone technical could reverse-engineer this narrative after the fact. Not saying that happened, but the receipts are missing. Also a fresh account with zero history doesn’t organically hit 1M views. That takes early signal boosts from notable accounts. Feels less like a frustrated whitehat and more like a coordinated hit tbh. Injective not commenting yet is actually the responsible move. You don’t rush out a public statement on a security incident without reviewing all the facts. CT wants drama on their timeline, legal and security teams work on a different clock. Give it a few days.
