Anonymous White Hat: "Injective Reported a $500 Million Exploit Vulnerability but Remained Silent... Didn't Even Give a $50,000 Reward"

Anonymous security expert f4lc0n claimed via X that he reported a critical flaw in Injective (INJ) that could have led to the theft of assets worth $500 million, but unlike the regulations (up to 10%), he only received notification of a $50,000 payment. He emphasized, "I previously reported a critical-grade vulnerability that could directly steal cryptocurrency from all accounts on the Injective chain, and at the time, over $500 million in cryptocurrency was exposed to risk. After the report, the Injective team resolved it through a mainnet upgrade but remained silent for three months without discussing it with me. The team only recently said they had set a $50,000 reward. I raised issues regarding the basis for calculating the reward amount and the three months of silence, but received no response, and even the $50,000 has not been paid yet."
