Hyperliquid Foundation just backed renowned blockchain security researcher ZachXBT with a significant 10,000 $HYPE token grant—valued at roughly $254K. This came after ZachXBT's meticulous work tracking down a massive $282M crypto theft that shook the industry. The donation underscores the Hyperliquid ecosystem's commitment to supporting critical security research and protecting the community from emerging threats. Such initiatives highlight how leading projects are increasingly funding specialists who help keep the crypto space accountable and secure.

NGL, Zach is really ruthless. He can still get funding despite tracking a $280 million theft case. Hyperliquid's move is quite clever—directly investing in security research with money, much more reliable than those projects that just shout slogans.

Wait, I need to carefully look at this account... 10,000 HYPE for 254K, does that mean HYPE is now $25.4? According to on-chain data, is Hyperliquid again engaging in public opinion management at this point? I believe ZachXBT recovered 282M, but why insist on using their own tokens for rewards? Obvious brand binding...

This guy recovered 282 million in one go and directly received a reward of 254k. I need to learn how to do security research...

ngl Tracking the person who stole $282 million and giving a reward of 254k... Is this ratio a bit stingy, or does it actually mean that hype coins are going to appreciate?

Zach's move this time is truly awesome. Recovering 282M and still earning token rewards—this is real respect for security research.

Zach, this time you really outdid yourself. Recovering 282 million is incredible. Hyperliquid definitely deserves to give the 254k tokens.
