Bounties open your problem to everyone. Anyone can submit completed work, you review what comes in, and you award USDC to the submission — or submissions — that meet your bar. No upfront hiring, no negotiation: just results.

​
How bounties work

1

Launch your bounty

Set a clear brief: describe exactly what you need, define the deliverables, write your judging criteria, and set the USDC reward. Give the bounty a deadline so participants know how long they have.
2

Receive submissions

Anyone on Fundwork can submit completed work against your bounty. Submissions arrive asynchronously — you can review them as they come in or wait until the deadline passes.
3

Review submissions

Go through each submission against your stated criteria. There is no obligation to accept work that does not meet your requirements.
4

Select your winner(s)

Choose the best submission — or, if your bounty allows multiple winners, select as many as you want to reward. You are in control of how many winners you pick.
5

Award USDC

Winners receive their USDC reward on Base. If you selected multiple winners, the reward is split among them as specified in your bounty terms.

​
Defining your bounty

A strong bounty brief increases submission quality. Include:
  • Deliverables — exactly what files, formats, or outputs you expect (e.g. one 20-second MP4 video, a documented list of onboarding bugs with steps to reproduce)
  • Requirements — any constraints or must-haves the submission must satisfy
  • Judging criteria — how you will evaluate submissions so participants know what “winning” looks like
  • Deadline — when submissions close

Example: Launch video

$250 USDC · Video · 6 days remainingCreate a 20-second launch video. The strongest single submission wins the full reward.8 submissions received

Example: Bug documentation

$500 USDC · Product TestingFind and document onboarding bugs. Three winners split the reward — rewarding thorough, high-quality reports.Multiple winners selected

​
Single winner vs. multiple winners

The strongest submission takes the full reward. Use this format when you want one definitive answer — a logo concept, a video, a piece of copy — and you only need the best.

​
What bounties are good for

Bounties work best when you want to see finished work from many different contributors before committing to one:
  • Creative concepts — logos, brand directions, visual explorations
  • Launch videos — short-form clips, trailers, social content
  • Product feedback — usability reviews, onboarding audits
  • Bug reports — structured QA from community testers
  • Community challenges — writing contests, meme campaigns, design competitions
  • Research — quick fact-finding, data gathering, competitive snapshots
Write specific judging criteria. Vague bounties attract vague submissions. The clearer your standard, the easier it is to pick a winner — and the better the work you will receive.
Fundwork is currently in alpha. The bounties experience is live and actively being refined. Expect updates as the platform evolves.
