Chain detective ZachXBT questions Cetus' bounty mechanism for hacking leads. He pointed out that paying $5 million only upon success is an extremely unreasonable fee structure that even capable companies would not accept. In this mode, victims do not need to bear the risk upfront, while helpers have to invest a lot of time and energy, resulting in a serious imbalance between risk and reward. This vague bounty is not conducive to the development of the industry. It may seem to motivate the team to take action, but in reality, it cannot effectively motivate capable individuals. ZachXBT believes that a fair compensation structure should consist of two parts: one is to charge by the hour to compensate for the time invested in the early stage, and the other is to give a certain percentage of commission based on successful results, which is also the practice of most top companies. In addition, he also mentioned that if the attacker is in a jurisdiction where law enforcement is difficult, or if law enforcement agencies fail to recover all the funds at the time of arrest, the fairness of these rewards cannot be discussed.
