809 reports swamped Solana’s $1 million bug contest.

Jump Crypto believes AI agents helped find or write nearly every submission.

Firedancer now charges 1 Solana token, about $100, per report, burned and nonrefundable even for duplicates.

“AI has made finding bugs cheap, but judging them is still expensive,” wrote Jump’s Ishan Bhatt.

Rewards double through 20 November, triple for Alpenglow bugs, up to $300,000 for critical flaws.
