FAQ

1. What network and token reward are supported?

At the present moment, we support Polygon and BNB Chain networks. The tokens that could be used for rewards are: MATIC, BNB, USDT, USDC, DAI. We're always evaluating adding more networks where applicable.

2. What are the fees I will incur?

We do not charge any fees for publishing and hunting bounties. The amount of reward you set up will be the amount of reward that the hunter can receive. Please be mindful that when publishing bounties there'll be gas fee charged by the blockchain.

3. Why does it takes very long for the bounty to be published?

Most of the times, it's due to the network being busy; you can use the Speed Up function in your wallet if your wallet supports the function. However, please be mindful that it may cost a higher gas fee.

4. What if there's no hunters hunting my bounty?

When your bounty expired without any hunters participating, you will be able to withdraw the funds.

5. I was the winner of the bounty but didn't receive the reward?

This process should be done automatically, once the Bounty publisher releases the funds, after certain time for network confirmations (usually few minutes), you should receive the reward in the wallet you connected with when participating the Bounty.
If you cannot see it in Metamask or the block explorer transaction history, please also check out at block explorer Internal TXNs.
