More details about the rewards. Sky Mavis promises to pay “white” hackers rewards in Axie Infinity’s native token AXS. The company is promising a $100 000 reward for finding “critical” vulnerabilities. For “low,” “medium” and “high” risk bugs, the rewards are $1 000, $5 000, and $50 000 respectively.

The decision was made after the Ethereum-compatible Ronin network suffered a hacking attack that caused Sky Mavis to lose more than $625 million. The hacker managed to gain control of validator nodes and withdrew 173 600 ETH and 25,5 million USDC.
