Optimism's bug bounty tops out at $2,000,042. A critical pays 10% of the funds directly affected, scaled by funds at risk against market cap, and the team can cap it again at 10% of the economic damage.
A website critical pays $5k to $50k. PoC required at every severity.

Payout is USDC, and KYC means a W-9 or W-8 before it lands.
Why does a failed transaction still cost gas?
Because the network did the work. If a transaction runs out of gas, Ethereum undoes the changes and keeps all the gas you provided.
If it reverts before hitting its limit, the gas you set aside and never used comes back.

Anybody who wants to discuss future of professional networking, DMs are open.
We are at DevCon this week.
So much energy in the room on Day 1 of @IBWofficial.
Hit me up if you are in Mumbai this week.
We needed two reads of Lido's bounty page. Every test runs on a local fork, never mainnet or a public testnet, and every report needs a working PoC, even a low.
A smart contract critical pays 10% of funds directly affected, $50,000 to $2M. No KYC. Paid in stablecoins.
Full scope and the payout table: immunefi.com/bug-bounty/lido…. It sits with the other open bug bounties at dapp.ing/bounties/lido-bug-b…
Stellar's Matching Fund invests up to $500k, 1:1 beside your lead investor.
Four things to know before you apply: $200k minimum check, pre-seed to Series B, a Stellar integration finished within a year of close, and any SDF grant you hold is cancelled first.
The terms, and the email list of what to send: stellar.org/grants-and-fundi…

1/ About a week to review, about three weeks to a decision: Solana Foundation grants are rolling. Primarily commercial projects usually don't qualify for a standard grant. The convertible grant is built for public goods with a commercial side.
3/ Marinade's bug bounty pays a critical at 10% of the funds directly affected, capped at 10% of the economic damage, with a $50k floor and a $250k ceiling. A proof of concept is required at every severity. The reward is priced in dollars but paid in Marinade's own tokens.
