TL;DR: Quick answers to what Boundless is, whether you need crypto experience, what USDC is, and how to convert earnings or check availability in your country.
Boundless is a platform on the Stellar network for bounties, grants, hackathons, and crowdfunding. It uses on-chain escrow, reputation, and managed wallets (the platform holds your balance; passkey sign-in is planned for the future).
You don’t need any. Get started with the quick start and set up your account. The app guides you through the rest; Boundless manages your balance, so there’s no wallet or seed phrase to set up.
USDC is a US-dollar stablecoin on the Stellar network. On Boundless it’s used for all payments, rewards, funding, and payouts. What you earn goes to your Boundless balance, shown in USD. See Tokens and wallets.
Boundless pays you in USDC and does not convert to local currency itself. To cash out, withdraw your USDC (this requires KYC, powered by Didit) and use a cryptocurrency exchange that supports USDC on Stellar. See Converting USDC to local currency.
Platform access and verification depend on your region. See Supported countries and check the app for your location.
