// Lock USDC. Stake SOL. Ship code. No middlemen required.
Client funds a PDA vault with USDC, defining the bounty payout and the required SOL commitment fee. Handled strictly via native System Program CPIs.
Developer stakes native SOL into the PDA to claim the task. This ensures absolute skin in the game and algorithmically filters out low-effort applicants.
Upon successful completion, the USDC bounty and the staked SOL are routed to the developer. On failure, the client reclaims the bounty and absorbs the developer's stake as a penalty.
When a Client denies work or a Worker fails the spec, the contract locks. The code doesn't know who is right. Humans do.
Arbitrators stake SOL to verify their expertise. Lazy or malicious voting results in slashing. Skin in the game is the law.
Jury majority triggers the PDA. Funds are dispersed trustlessly to the winner. Arbitrators earn 1% of the bounty.
