# Post-event milestones

> Follow-up milestones and payouts after a hackathon on Boundless.

Some hackathons on Boundless include post-event milestones: additional deliverables (e.g., mainnet deployment, documentation, integrations) that winners can complete after the event to unlock extra payouts from escrow.

## How it works

1. The organizer defines post-event milestones and the reward for each.
2. Winners are announced and receive their main hackathon prizes.
3. Winners can optionally complete post-event milestones by the stated deadline.
4. When a milestone is approved, the corresponding payout is released from escrow to the winner.

## For participants

* Check the hackathon details for post-event milestones and deadlines.
* Submit deliverables as specified; the organizer (or designated reviewer) approves and triggers the payout.

## For organizers

* When [organizing](/organizers/host-a-hackathon), add post-event milestones and fund them in escrow if you want to incentivize follow-through (e.g., shipping to mainnet, open-sourcing).
