How to Claim a Bounty

Before you start​

  • Read the bounty outline carefully — each bounty links to a GitHub issue with full requirements
  • Check the status: only OPEN bounties are available to claim
  • Make sure you can complete the work before the expiry date

Claim process​

Find a bounty

Browse the Active Bounties board and find an OPEN bounty that matches your skills. Click the GitHub link to read the full requirements in the issue.

Comment to claim

Leave a comment on the GitHub issue expressing your intent to work on it. Include a brief note on your approach, your estimated timeline, and any relevant experience.

A core contributor will confirm your claim and update the status to CLAIMED. Only one contributor can hold a claim at a time.

Do the work

Complete the work according to the requirements in the GitHub issue. If you have questions, ask in the issue thread or in the Arrow Discord.

Keep the team updated — if you're running behind, say so early. Bounties that go silent may be re-opened.

Submit for review

Open a pull request or submit your deliverable as described in the bounty outline. Link back to the original GitHub issue in your submission.

Get paid

Once your submission is reviewed and accepted, payment is processed in USDC and $ARROW to the wallet address you provide. Payments are typically processed within 5 business days of approval.

Tips​

  • Start with smaller bounties to build a track record in the community
  • If a bounty is CLAIMED by someone else, watch the issue — claims sometimes lapse
  • Bounties marked CLOSED are no longer available; see Previous Bounties for the archive
  • If you have an idea for a bounty, post it in Discord — core contributors review community suggestions regularly
