Welcome to the Stacks Foundation Critical Bounties Program repository. This program is designed to address specific ecosystem needs through targeted RFP (Request for Proposal) grants.
Critical Bounties focus on key infrastructure and tools necessary for the Stacks network's development. These bounties target high-priority areas identified by Stacks Core Engineering team members and community members, key to the development of the Stacks blockchain.
- RFPs are based on identified ecosystem needs (typically 2x per year)
- Proposals are evaluated by subject matter experts and Core Engineering teams
- Review process typically takes 2-3 weeks
- Awarded Critical Bounties are expected to be completed within ~6 months time
- Payments are milestone-based
- Check the Issues in this repository:
- Open issues represent accepted applications currently in progress
- Closed issues are either completed projects or applications that were not approved
- Review our RFPs and consider submitting a proposal
- Applications submited through this repo by creating an issue will not be considered.
