How I Earned Crypto by Finding Bugs on Android — No Coding, No Investment
Forget faucets and fake airdrops. If you're serious about earning real crypto, bug bounty programs in Web3 are the most underrated goldmine — and yes, you can start with just your phone.
I recently tested this with Gear Protocol on HackenProof, and the results were real: I earned crypto by reporting a bug using only my Android device. No coding, no upfront investment, no KYC.

🔍 What Is a Bug Bounty in Web3?
Web3 projects offer rewards (often $100 to $25,000+) for discovering vulnerabilities in their apps, bots, or smart contracts. You don’t need to be a developer — many bugs are in logic, UX, or interface behavior.

📱 Why Android Works
Most platforms like Gear, INIT, and Flow Wallet use Telegram bots or web dashboards. That means you can test them directly from your phone. I used:
- Telegram for bot testing
- Mobile browser for web interface
- Multi-account setups to trigger logic bugs

💰 My First Win
I joined HackenProof, picked Gear Protocol, and found a bug in their XP system — it misbehaved when switching accounts. I submitted a report and got paid in USDT.
