Merge Bug Bounty
On August 24th, the Ethereum Foundation updated the community with information about the date of ‘The Merge’, miners, and a bug bounty program. According to the Ethereum Foundation, anyone who can identify critical bugs before ‘The Merge’, can receive money up to $1 million. They even provided a specific link for people to join the Bug Bounty Program.
Based on the Bug Bounty Program official website, the rewards start from up to $2,000 for a low-risk bug to $250,000 for a critical-risk bug. However, in the latest announcement by the Ethereum Foundation, they will give up to $1 million for Merge Bug Bounty Bonus.

He updated the community on what went wrong and how he and the team solved it in different tweets. At the end of his tweet, he apologized to everyone for missing this issue.
He tweeted, “Apologies again for missing this issue during testing. We’ll try to figure out a way to stress test better.”
