All for $36,500/year (which isn’t even liquid) as a top 20 witness. I’m #30 and make 1/8th that.
Just to put in perspective, a blockchain dev that is capable of reviewing code and making patches is worth $100,000-$250,000/year if all he did was code.
This reward is only so low because of the price, they made over 500k some time ago when the price was high.
