Could Wrapped Tokens Like WETH Be (forced) Insolvent?

December 02
People are joking around the seeming depegging of WETH. The wrapped ETH token contract, the most simple and fundamental contract in the Ethereum ecosystem, is used in almost every DeFi protocol. If the depegging happens, the empire of Ethereum will collapse. Trust me, the depegging of WETH is the last thing you should worry about in Ethereum. Because when that happens, both your ETH and WETH would be worthless.

Hanging out in the Immunefi discord leads me to new wonderlands! Last month I was notified of a new bounty program from Interlay, who claimed the maximal bounty payout could be $1M. Although the mainnet of its BTC bridge was not launched, they promised a minimum reward of $100k for critical bug reports.

My blockchains adventure continues! This time I protected Moonbeam network by disclosing a critical design flaw, safeguarding more than $100M assets at risk in various DeFi projects. I was awarded the maximum reward amount of their bug bounty program on Immunefi, $1M, and $50k bonus from Moonwell (I guess that’s also one of the top 10 highest bug bounties?)

Hi! I am pwning.eth, a wanderer in the hacking space who has recently jumped into the wonderland of crypto. A few months ago, I reported a critical bug in the Aurora Engine, a layer 2 EVM solution built on the NEAR protocol. At least 70000 ETH were at risk of being stolen, until I found the tricky vulnerability and helped the Aurora team fix it. It would be in the top 5 heists in the defi history, if the 200 million tokens were taken over by a blackhat hacker. In the end, I won a bug bounty of 6 million, which was the second highest bounty in history.
