How BountyMoney works

A short read on what a bounty is, who pays, who gets paid, and how the contract decides.

For sponsors
  1. Pick a trader and a token.
  2. Set a bounty reward (USDC or SOL), volume target, hold duration, and expiry.
  3. Sign once. The reward and protocol fee lock in escrow.
  4. If the trader satisfies the bounty requirements, the contract pays them the reward. Otherwise the reward and refundable fee balance refund to you.
For traders
  1. Find a bounty pointed at your wallet under My Bounties.
  2. Accept it. Volume tracking starts immediately.
  3. Buy the token to hit the volume target. Keep holding through the hold-duration window.
  4. Reward lands in your wallet automatically when both gates pass.

FAQ

What's a bounty?

A reward (USDC or SOL) a sponsor offers to a specific trader for hitting a buy-volume target on a token within a time window — and holding the position long enough. The smart contract pays out automatically once volume + hold are met.

What's the platform fee?

5% of the reward, funded by the sponsor on top of it. Minimum fee is $20 USDC or 0.25 SOL — so a $50 reward costs $70 total, and a 0.1 SOL reward costs 0.35 SOL. If the bounty is won, BountyMoney keeps the full fee. If it fails or expires, BountyMoney keeps only 1 USDC or 0.01 SOL and the rest returns to the sponsor.

Can I pay rewards in SOL?

Yes. Sponsors choose USDC or SOL when creating the bounty. SOL rewards have a 0.1 SOL minimum reward and a 0.25 SOL minimum platform fee (5% above 5 SOL). The trader receives whichever currency the bounty was funded in.

What's hold duration?

How long the trader has to keep their position open after buying. The reward only pays out if the trader is still holding tokens at end-time AND their earliest qualifying buy was at least the required hours ago. If they fully exit the position, hold duration resets to zero.

What's min buy size?

Optional. If set, only buys at or above this USD threshold count toward the volume target. Stops a trader from satisfying the bounty with thousands of tiny dust trades.

What happens if a trader doesn't accept?

After the expiration window, the sponsor can reclaim the escrow with one click. The reward plus refundable fee balance returns to your wallet; BountyMoney keeps only 1 USDC or 0.01 SOL.

Can I cancel a bounty?

Pre-acceptance: yes, after the expiration window — the contract refunds the reward plus refundable fee balance back to you. Post-acceptance: no, the contract handles the outcome based on volume + hold duration.
