Researchers can claim up to 50,000 SOL, worth about $3.8 million, for reviewing what the announcement describes as Solana's biggest consensus change in history.
Anza has opened submissions for the Alpenglow bug bounty, offering researchers up to 50,000 SOL, or about $3.8 million, to review Alpenglow, a consensus change (update to how network validators agree) described in the announcement as Solana's biggest in history. The program functions as a bug bounty (rewards for finding security flaws), a common way for crypto projects to stress-test major protocol upgrades before or during rollout.
