ZachXBT Slams Ripple Over $250K Reward for Critical XRP Supply Bug

  • —Researchers Cayden Liao and Veria AI received $250,000 for the bug found on September 21
  • —The flaw could have created about 18 trillion XRP, over 180 times the original 100 billion supply
  • —Patch xrpld 3.4.1 shipped on September 25; over 80% of validators upgraded by release
  • —No evidence of exploitation on any public XRP Ledger network was found
Why it matters: The dispute over bounty size could shape whether whitehat researchers report critical flaws or sell them to malicious actors instead.
