Osmosis Exploit | Bug Exploiters
Jun 9, 2022 - On June 8th, a critical bug was found on Osmosis that led to the theft of several million dollars from liquidity pools. In an effort to help provide the Osmosis team with important data, we’ve curated these flash bounties to surface metrics that the team has requested. The upgrade that contained the exploited bug occurred at block height 4707300, and the chain was halted at block 4713064. Of those who took advantage of the exploit, 4 entities are responsible for over 95% of the realized exploit amount. What is the list of addresses that were explicitly exploiting the bug by doing multiple join/exits, i.e. who were the attackers? What was the total dollar amount that was taken by the attackers? What amount of stolen assets in the attackers’ wallets remain on Osmosis? Hints: Make sure to account for both LP shares and assets in balance.

The Eclipse Score
Apr 27, 2022 - Invent an easy-to-use "Eclipse Score", based on at least 3 metrics, to display validators who are not effectively representing their delegators via voting. For example: if you participate in only 5% of votes but are in the top 5% of validators by LUNA delegated, you should have a terrible Eclipse Score. Alternatively, if you participate in 5% of votes but are in the bottom 10% of Validators by amount delegated, you're not letting down the community quite as badly, and your score should reflect that (but it still shouldn't be very good; 5% is awful) Provide a table and at least 1 visual that displays validators according to your Eclipse Score, e.g. a bubble chart with LUNA Delegated vs. Votes Attended. Top Score Worthy: Additionally, analyze the top 5 best and top 5 worst validators according to your Eclipse score. For Insight, provide your analysis or commentary on one, several, or all of these validators.
Validator Pageant
Mar 11, 2022 - Question: Select one validator outside the top 10 and make a case for why newcomers to Terra should delegate to that validator.

As well, analyze the Bridge usage via at least 3 clearly defined metrics of your choosing (examples: volume, TVL, change in TVL over time, number of repeated trips vs. one-time users, origin and destination).
