Firedancer makes bounty hunters burn 1 SOL even for duplicate bug reports
- —The 1 SOL burn is non-refundable and goes to an incinerator wallet, not to Jump as revenue
- —In the spring Immunefi contest, duplicates of unfixed bugs were eligible and reports cost $100 each
- —Of 809 submissions from 162 researchers, nearly half of valid reports were duplicates
- —Rewards are doubled until Nov. 20 and tripled for Alpenglow consensus findings
Why it matters: The paid-submission model may deter researchers and reduce the flow of reports on real vulnerabilities in Solana's validator client.
