The Crema Finance team awarded the hacker who seized nearly $10 million in Protocol 16 funds, 7% of funds stolen as white hat bonus.

The hacker who exploited Solana-based liquidity protocol Crema Finance on July 2 returned most of the funds, but was allowed to keep $1.6 million as a white bounty.< /p>
The bounty, 45,455 Solana (SOL), is worth 16.7% of the $9.6 million lost by Crema initially, which forced the protocol to suspend services.
The Crema team has launched an investigation to identify the hacker by tracing his Discord ID and tracing the original gas source for the hacker's address. Just when it looked like the team might be over the secret identity, she announced that she had negotiated with the hacker. On July 6, the hacker returned 6,064 Ether (ETH) and 23,967 SOL worth approximately $8 million.
After a long negotiation, the hacker agreed to take 45455 SOL as the white hat bonus. We have now confirmed receipt of 6064 ETH + 23967.9 SOL in the four transactions shown below. A follow-up compensation plan will be published within 48 hours.
