Solana Bug Reports Cost 1 SOL to Submit
Researchers must now permanently burn 1 SOL (worth about $100) for every submission of bug reports for Solana’s Firedancer software. The cost is nonrefundable and applies to 809 submissions over a monthlong contest, with AI believed to have generated or written nearly all of the reports. The competition aims to reduce spam and give engineers more time to investigate genuine security flaws.
