PANews reported on March 16 that white-hat hacker f4lc0n disclosed in an article on the X platform that he discovered a "critical" vulnerability in the Injective protocol that could lead to the direct extraction of more than $500 million in assets on the chain. However, the project team only offered him a reward of $50,000, far below the planned maximum of $500,000 for this level.

f4lc0n stated that the vulnerability allows any user to wipe any account on the blockchain without special privileges. After he submitted a report through Immunefi, the Injective team initiated a mainnet upgrade vote to fix the vulnerability the following day, but remained "out of " for the three months. f4lc0n has now disputed the amount of the bounty, claiming that the $50,000 reward has not yet been paid. He announced that he will dedicate 10% of future bug bounty revenue to continuously publicizing this issue until Injective pays the standard reward.
