Contribute & Earn
Arrow is an open community. Anyone can contribute — whether you're an engineer, designer, writer, or researcher. Bounties and grants are the two main ways to get paid for your work.
Bounties
Bounties are scoped tasks with a fixed payout. A core contributor defines the deliverable and sets the reward; you claim it and complete the work.
- Faster to get started — no proposal needed
- Fixed scope and fixed pay
- Good starting point if you're new to the community
Grants
Grants are for larger, self-directed work. You propose what you want to build, the timeline, and the budget — the community reviews and approves.
- More flexibility to define your own scope
- Larger payouts for bigger projects
- Better suited to contributors with a track record
