I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K.
I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it.

- 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.

@morsyxbt Projects should not be discussing tokens when they have not produced any product to tie the the token to. Thus, time before launching a token should be as short as possible.
Is this @hotdao_ extension wallet on @firefox, a scam?
I tried installing the extension directly from Hotwallet link (first pic) but unfortunately wasn't available for firefox users, but got the second pics from searching on firefox extension, but the stats did not add up.
@concero_io@pharos_network Geez, this Pharos website is too buggy. Please log your clear function properly on claim testnet token section, nothing seems to be working here.
