A flood of AI-assisted bug reports has prompted the team behind Solana’s Firedancer software to charge researchers 1 SOL, worth about $100, per submission, aiming to cut spam and give engineers more time to investigate genuine security flaws. The tokens must be burned, which permanently removes them from circulation. Under terms updated Monday, the cost is nonrefundable even if a report is invalid, outside the program’s scope or duplicates an earlier finding. Reports submitted without a burn are ineligible for rewards.
