What happened
Fede's Intern, a contributor to the venture capital studio LambdaClass, said on Twitter that it found that Aleo, a programmable privacy network, had an inflation loophole and used the first loophole to stop block production, and contacted the Aleo team by email. Following an open discussion on the Zero Knowledge Podcast, Aleo CEO and Zero Knowledge Podcast contributor Alex Pruden stepped in and the bug is now fixed.
