BTCPay Server Backs 10 Percent Bounty for Stolen Bitcoin

Supporters of the BTCPay Server project have approved a plan to offer a bounty for the return of stolen Bitcoin. This initiative follows a recent security exploit that targeted a Lightning wallet. The reward is set at 10 percent of any recovered funds, with a maximum cap of 3 BTC if the entire amount is successfully returned.

The project team confirmed this decision on Monday as a way to incentivize the return of assets. By setting a clear recovery path, the developers aim to address the damage caused by the security breach while keeping the focus on user protection. The bounty serves as an open offer to anyone who can assist in the retrieval process.

This move shows how decentralized projects handle security incidents and fund recovery. Investors and users should watch for further updates on whether the bounty leads to a positive result. Security remains a top priority for developers working on Lightning network tools.
