ZachXBT Criticizes $250K Reward for Disclosure of Major XRP Bug

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT criticized a $250,000 reward given to Cayden Liao and Veria Labs for identifying a major XRP issuance vulnerability, according to Bitcoin.com News.

The flaw could reportedly have enabled someone to issue 18 trillion XRP through a single transaction. The report described that amount as 184 times the token’s original capped supply.

The reward came from the Ripple Ledger Foundation, according to the report. ZachXBT characterized the payout as too low given the scale of the potential exploit.
