How much can you earn from reporting bugs in the codes of crypto projects?

In 2022, Wormhole paid a researcher named Nullpointer $10 million for reporting a vulnerability. This is the highest amount ever paid.
However, that's a far cry from what Coinbase paid another researcher in 2017. The guy reported a bug that would've led to user funds being stolen on the exchange. Guess how much Coinbase paid him. $500 ✯
And some projects can even do worse. A guy reported a bug that would've led to Hackers stealing $400m from a project. The founder promised to reward, but never did. Instead, he was blocked on Twitter.
Things like this is what makes some people chose to hack.
Don't let that discourage you though. You can earn steady income from reporting bugs every day. ImunFi has lots of them.
