💰 Currently only funding via Polygon and BNBChain (previously BSC) is available. Make sure you have enough on-chain funds when publishing the bounty, the funds will be escrowed in the smart contract.
🏆 “Number of winners” can be “single” or “multiple”, meaning the bounty prize can be given to either 1 hunter, or many hunters at the same time.
📓 Details really matter. Make sure you provide the hunters with enough details/resources of this bounty, and please add the way they can contact you also in the detail section.
Step 3
Connect your wallet and lock the bounty prize in the smart contract. Then all set! Let’s give hunters some time to solve your problem😈
How to check out my bounties, see solutions and release funds?
You will be able to view your published bounty on the Bounty Main Page (https://dorahacks.io/daobounty )
Find and enter the bounty you have created. The left side shows the important information such as: timeline, reward amount, payment network, and the current participants. The right side shows the Bounty details that you've filled in.
Activities Section shows the time you have created the bounty, hunter participating and hunter submitting solution.
Accept solution and release reward
You can accept a solution at any time using the Accept button, and release the intended reward amount to the hunter.
If the Bounty is set to have multiple winners, you can increase the reward pool by clicking “Increase reward pool” button at any time before Bounty is completed or expired, using the same token as reward.
Withdraw funds after Bounty expiration
If there's no hunter participating in your Bounty, the Bounty will expire at the end of the set timeline, and after the expiration, you can withdraw the funds.
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.
If you didn't see the reward after a while, please reach out to DoraHacks support via Discord: https://discord.gg/gKT5DsWwQ5
