For Bounty Hunters How It Works
Developers browse bounties, claim issues they can solve, and work on solutions. Submit your pull request on GitHub when ready—our platform tracks everything automatically.
-
Visit the Lightning Bounties Platform & LogIn with your GitHub.
2. Browse Open Bounties
Explore the live feed to find unsolved issues you can tackle. Each bounty shows the project name, issue description, reward in sats, and status (open vs claimed).
3. Fork, Fix & Submit
Fork the repo, work on the issue, then create a pull request. Make sure your PR description includes close #<issue-number> (or equivalent) so the platform — via GitHub API — correctly detects the fix for payment.
4. Merge & Claim Reward
Once your PR is merged, go to your dashboard and click “Claim Reward.” Payment in sats flows instantly via Lightning — no red tape, no delays.
For Bounty Posters How to Post a Bounty
Organizations and maintainers post GitHub issues with Bitcoin rewards. Set your bounty amount in sats, add requirements, and let the community see your need.
-
(Optional) Log in with GitHub.
Just like devs — log in with your GitHub account and you’re ready to go.
2. Click “Submit an Issue” & Paste Issue URL.
Drop in the GitHub issue URL you want resolved, set a reward amount in sats, and define a lock-time period (how long the bounty stays active).
3. Fund the Bounty
Deposit sats into Lightning Bounties via a generated Lightning invoice. Funds go into escrow until someone claims and solves the issue.
4. Review Submitted Pull Requests on GitHub.
When someone submits a PR for the issue, review the changes using GitHub’s usual workflow. If it meets your standards, merge. Once merged, the platform automatically releases the sats to the solver.
