Fund an issue in USDC. When the PR merges, the contributor gets paid automatically — no claim, no invoice, no middleman.
Open source & self-hostable — run it fee-freePick one of your open issues and fund it with USDC. The funds lock in an open-source escrow contract on Base — you only pay gas.
Contributors open a PR that closes the issue. Merge it into your target branch — the merge is the authorization, nothing else to click.
The bounty disburses automatically to the contributor's linked wallet, minus a small fee. Unmatched bounties are refunded to the funder after expiry.
Use GitReward Cloud for a flat cut on payout, or self-host the open-source stack and pay nothing.
We run the neutral oracle and infrastructure. You just fund an issue and merge the PR.
Run GitReward for your own organization. Call setFeeRate(0) and pay nothing.
Plain English — non-custodial, one neutral oracle, you only pay gas to fund.
In an open-source escrow contract on Base — not in our bank account. We can't spend it and we can't stop a refund. You only pay gas to fund it.
One thing: when a bounty PR is merged, we (a single neutral oracle) sign a message that says “pay this contributor.” The contract checks our signature and pays out. That signature is the only power we hold — and it can only pay the address the contributor themselves linked. It cannot redirect funds anywhere else.
Every unmatched bounty is refundable to the funder after its expiry — no fee, and nothing for us to approve. That refund path is permissionless and outside our control, so no one can strand your money, even if we vanish.
They link a payout wallet once, then solve issues normally. On merge, the bounty disburses to that wallet automatically — no claim step, no invoice. If they haven't linked a wallet by merge time, the bounty is refunded to the maintainer after expiry.
3% on GitReward Cloud, charged only when a bounty pays out — well under the 20%+ that's normal elsewhere. It's hard-capped in the contract at 10%, so we literally cannot charge more, by design. Self-hosters set the fee to zero and run fee-free.
No — and we won't claim that. It's non-custodial with one neutral oracle. That's an honest, smaller claim than “trustless,” and it's the one we can actually stand behind.
Sign in with GitHub, pick an open issue, lock USDC. The merge pays it out.
