TL;DR: You can earn on Boundless by winning bounties, competing in hackathons, or delivering grant milestones. All three pay in USDC, all three build one shared reputation, and you can do all three from a single account.

The three ways to earn

Bounties

Paid tasks. Apply or submit your work, and the best submission wins.

Hackathons

Time-boxed events. Build a project, submit it, and win a share of the prize pool.

Grants

Milestone funding. Apply with a plan, get selected, and get paid as you ship each milestone.

How they differ

Getting started

  1. Find opportunities across every pillar.
  2. Read the rules for the one you want, then apply, submit, or register.
  3. When work is approved, escrow settles your payout in USDC, usually within about a minute.

Everything you earn builds your reputation

Your track record is shared across all four pillars. Winning a bounty makes you more credible for a hackathon; delivering a grant makes you more credible for the next one. See Reputation.
