Open the bounty

Navigate to Bounties → Receiving and click on the bounty you completed.
2

Wait for the lock to expire

The bounty detail page shows a countdown to the unlock time. The covenant enforces this time on-chain, and the release action stays unavailable until current_blocktime >= startTime + lockDuration.
3

Release the bounty payout

Once unlocked, click Release on the bounty detail page. Bounties use the budget-plan release flow under the hood, so the app calls POST /api/budget-plans/:id/release with your recipient address.
4

Sign

Your wallet displays the transaction. Sign and broadcast.
5

Confirm

The app then calls POST /api/budget-plans/:id/confirm-release. The funds arrive in your wallet and the bounty status updates to COMPLETED.

​
Cancellation During Lock Period

If the funder created the bounty with cancelable: true, they can cancel before you release the payout. You will see a Bounty cancelled notice and no funds will be transferred to your address. Contact the funder to resolve any dispute off-chain.

​
Partial Claims Not Supported

Bounties have a single milestone. Either you claim the full amount, or you do not claim at all. If you need partial payouts, ask the funder to set up a multi-milestone Grant instead.
