Solana (SOL)
Cryptobriefing.com reports that Anza concluded the two-week Alpenglow bug bounty competition for Solana on August 19. The event attracted over 300 vulnerability submissions from security researchers aiming to stress-test the new consensus protocol. A reward pool of up to 50,000 SOL was distributed based on the severity of the identified bugs. Alpenglow aims to reduce transaction finality times significantly from 12.8 seconds to between 100 and 150 milliseconds. The competition focused on critical components within the Agave validator codebase, including votor and bls-sigverify. Participants paid a 0.5 SOL fee to submit reports via GitHub Security Advisories. Adjudication continues through September 2, with payouts locked for one year after the competition ends.
