Dubai, United Arab Emirates, February 22nd, 2025, Chainwire
Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is calling on the brightest minds in cyber security and crypto analytics to join the global hunt for the perpetrators of crypto’s largest heist in history. With a reward of 10% of the amount recovered, the contributors stand to share a bounty of potentially up to 140 million USD in value in the scenario of a full recovery.
Recovery Bounty Program
As part of the investigation and recovery efforts, Bybit is pledging 10% of recovered funds to reward ethical cyber and network security experts who play an active role in retrieving the stolen cryptocurrencies in the incident.
The total amount of the bounty is calculated based on verifiable recovery of the compromised ETH worth over $1.4 billion at the time of the incident.
Bybit values transparency and using blockchain technology for good.
“Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry, and we do not take it for granted.
