A pseudonymous security researcher identified a critical vulnerability in Virtuals Protocol’s audited contract, prompting an urgent fix.
An unexpected bug found in an audited smart contract led Virtuals Protocol, a blockchain firm focused on artificial intelligence agents, to issue a timely fix and relaunch its bug bounty program.
On Dec. 3, 2024, pseudonymous security researcher Jinu contacted Virtuals Protocol after discovering a bug in one of its audited contracts. Still, upon reporting the issue, Jinu learned that the company did not have an active bug bounty program, meaning the discovery did not qualify for a reward.
