Bounties are milestone-based budget plans scoped to a single deliverable. The funder locks BCH or tokens in a covenant. The bounty hunter completes the task and claims the release once the time lock elapses and the funder confirms the work.

​
Creating a Bounty

Navigate to Bounties → New Bounty and specify:
FieldDescription
TitleWhat needs to be built or done
RecipientBCH address of the bounty hunter
VaultFunding vault
AmountTotal payout in BCH or tokens
DurationHow many seconds after funding the payout unlocks
CancelableWhether the funder can cancel if work is unacceptable
The bounty becomes a single-milestone budget plan under the hood. The recipient can release the full amount after the duration elapses.

​
Claiming a Bounty

When the lock period elapses, the bounty hunter navigates to the bounty and clicks Release. No intermediary is involved — the covenant enforces the time condition directly.

​
Cancelling

If the funder set cancelable: true and the work was not completed satisfactorily, they can cancel before the recipient releases. Cancelled funds return to the vault controller address.
