TL;DR: Boundless is a Web3 collaboration platform where every payment is protected by on-chain escrow and every contribution builds your on-chain reputation.

Welcome

Whether you’re a designer hunting for bounties, a researcher applying for grants, a developer joining a hackathon, or a creator launching a crowdfunding campaign, this is your guide to Boundless. No blockchain experience? No problem. Boundless is designed to feel like a normal web app: sign up with email, the platform manages your balance (no wallet or seed phrase), and payments use escrow powered by Boundless’s on-chain escrow.
You can browse bounties, hackathons, grants, and crowdfunding (Projects) today, and take part in bounties end to end. Some flows for the other pillars are still rolling out. Payments are in USDC; to convert to local currency you use an exchange. Withdrawing funds requires KYC (powered by Didit).

Four ways to participate

Bounties

Earn USDC for completed tasks. Design, code, write, research, all skills welcome. The best work wins. -> Explore bounties

Hackathons

Build and win prizes. Join competitive events, form teams, ship projects. Winners can continue through post-event milestones. -> Join a hackathon

Grants

Get funded for serious work. Research, development, and community funding, released milestone by milestone. -> Apply for grants

Crowdfunding

Launch community-funded projects. Campaign with milestone accountability. Backers protected by escrow; creators funded incrementally. -> Start a campaign
