The Next Chapter for Bounties

As of this week, we will be stopping all development work on the Bounties Explorer and Protocol — When we first started work on the problem of outsourced market transactions and minimum-viable-incentives in 2017, we did so with a number of hypotheses.

Ushering In a New Era of Bounties

Going Live with StandardBounties 2.0 — When we first started working on The Bounties Network in Spring of 2017, our main goal was simple: to create a generalized protocol for bounties on Ethereum.
