Overview
- Developers announced the initiative on Jan. 13 via X, thanked security researchers, and said bounties have already been paid as fixes roll out.
- Payouts scale with severity, with especially high rewards for authentication and client–server exploits that can exceed $25,000.
- Eligibility requires participants to be 18 or older and to test using their own accounts, with submissions routed through the official Security page.
- Non–server-impact cheats are out of scope, duplicate reports receive acknowledgment without payment, and validated issues are triaged with status updates.
- Hytale entered Early Access this week with some features still missing and expected instability as Hypixel rebuilds the project after its recent reacquisition.
