Deploy and fund

Click Create Bounty. The backend creates a single-milestone budget plan and returns the funding wcTransaction. Sign it in your wallet and confirm.

Notify the recipient

Share the bounty detail URL with the builder. They see the locked amount, the unlock date, and a countdown.

​
Claim Flow (Recipient)

When the lock duration elapses:
  1. The builder opens the bounty and clicks Claim Bounty
  2. The app checks that current_time >= startTime + lockDuration
  3. The claim wcTransaction is returned for the builder to sign
  4. After broadcasting, confirm-release is called and the funds arrive in the builder’s wallet

​
Cancellation

If cancelable: true, the funder can cancel the bounty at any time before the recipient claims. Funds return to the vault controller’s address. After cancellation the bounty is permanently closed.
