Submitting your work clearly and completely is one of the most important things you can do on Fundwork. A well-structured submission helps the client review your work accurately and speeds up approval and payment. The exact flow differs depending on whether you’re on a contract, a bounty, or a campaign.

​
What Every Strong Submission Includes

Regardless of opportunity type, a high-quality submission typically contains:
  • A link or attachment to your deliverable — the actual work product the client can review or download
  • Notes on your approach — a brief explanation of the decisions you made and why, especially if the deliverable isn’t self-explanatory
  • Any files the listing specifically requests — check the requirements section for formats, naming conventions, or supplementary materials
  • Context on anything incomplete or in progress — for contract milestones, flag any blockers or questions before the client reviews

​
Submission Flows by Opportunity Type

Contract work is broken into milestones. You submit once per milestone, not all at once at the end.
1

Complete the milestone deliverable

Work through the scope defined for this milestone. Refer back to the listing’s deliverables and milestone description to confirm you’ve met the requirements before submitting.
2

Open the milestone submission form

Navigate to your active contract and open the submission form for the current milestone.
3

Attach your work

Add a link or upload the files for this milestone. If your deliverable lives in an external tool (Figma, GitHub, Notion, etc.), paste a direct link with any necessary access permissions set.
4

Add your notes

Describe what you built or produced, any decisions you made, and anything the client should know before reviewing. Clear notes reduce back-and-forth and help the client approve faster.
5

Submit and wait for approval

Submit the milestone. The client reviews your work and either approves it — triggering the USDC payment for that milestone — or requests revisions.
Each milestone is reviewed independently. Don’t move on to the next milestone until the client has approved the current one, unless your contract specifies otherwise.

​
Common Submission Mistakes to Avoid

Deliverables without context force the client to make assumptions. A few sentences explaining your approach, your choices, and any trade-offs you made can prevent revision requests and accelerate approval.
Bounty submissions must be complete at submission time. Unlike contracts, there’s no revision loop built into the bounty format. Submit only when your work is finished.
Check the listing’s requirements section for specific file types, naming conventions, or supplementary materials. Missing a required element can disqualify your submission.
