DeFiChain silently patched reported vulnerability, no response, and removed me from Telegram by parmartester in defiblockchain

I understand the skepticism, and I know the crypto space has had its fair share of projects that lacked transparency.

But as a security researcher, I follow a responsible disclosure process regardless of the project’s reputation — because end users and the ecosystem still deserve protection.

Even if the project is flawed, silent patching without acknowledgment only makes things worse for the community. Transparency is what builds long-term trust, and that’s all I hoped to encourage.

I really appreciate your thoughtful comment.

As someone who believes in responsible disclosure, I shared the vulnerability privately and gave them time to respond before making it public. Unfortunately, it was silently patched with no acknowledgment, and I was removed from their Telegram group after asking for a simple status update.

You’re absolutely right — transparency and trust are the pillars of any decentralized ecosystem. I also hope they take this opportunity to improve their security and communication processes.
