NoteThe record claims a funding program named 'FTX Future Fund Trojan Detection Challenge (NeurIPS 2022)' with a budget of $50,000 and status 'closed'. The source confirms all three key fields: (1) the name matches exactly, (2) the budget is $50,000 (stated as '$50k'), and (3) the status is implicitly 'closed' since this is a June 2022 update describing completed grants and the challenge was for NeurIPS 2022 (which occurred in November/December 2022, making it closed by the time of publication or shortly thereafter). The source is the official FTX Future Fund update document describing their grantmaking activities.
