The published grants total (the pivot minus ZCG's own operations & stipends) vs. the paid grant + contractor ledger, compared live. The two internal buckets are excluded here because the pivot counts them at a broader scope than their tabs. They are reconciled on their own pages. See how we compute this.
Keep historical totals separate from dated upcoming commitments.
Of the grants, $1M went to third-party security audits & bug bounties (the Audits classification). The ZCG operations budget above is the discretionary tab: security bounties $990.3K · tooling & services $119.3K · bounty matches $102.6K · reimbursements $98.3K · sponsorships $86.9K. Security bounty payouts and bounty matches sit there, not in the grants; the pool has no standalone “travel” line.
