Earn tokens by building within the iExec Ecosystem — New Developer Bounties (Season 2)
Around one year ago, iExec published its first round of bounties, rewarding developers who built within the iExec ecosystem. iExec is now happy to announce that a new batch of bounties are now available and ready to claim. These new bounties mostly focus on ‘tooling’ to improve user/dev experience in the iExec ecosystem. There are 8 new bounties, with a total of around $30k in RLC tokens to earn.
💰 Claim a bounty, deliver, get paid in RLC tokens
Bounties are a chance for developers to earn rewards for delivering pre-defined material. Deliverables can consist of code for an application, a user interface, tooling, dashboards, improvement proposals… anything that adds value to the iExec ecosystem.
When deliverables are successfully met within the specified deadline, iExec pays out rewards in RLC tokens. In return, iExec gets its technical stack in the hands of a new developer audience, increased awareness for its use cases, and general enrichment of its ecosystem. Bounties and grants are rewards that we offer as part of our Developer Program, to support developers who want to discover the opportunities made possible by the iExec protocol.
🔨 Build an app or deliver tooling to improve user experience on iExec
Last year, iExec has a successful first round of bounties. Developers delivered apps that used the iExec Oracle Factory product, off-chain computing, and confidential computing tech.
One example of this was the “Chest X-Ray Classifier” app, built by Joey. Well describing the bounty reward, Joey’s app uses iExec Confidential Computing technology to detect Covid-19 or pneumonia based on confidential medical data (an image of a patient’s X-ray). Congratulations to all the devs who delivered on these bounties!
For this second round (Season 2), the majority of these bounties are centered around ‘tooling’ that will serve to improve iExec as a platform and offer a better user experience. For example, metric dashboards or UX improvement proposals for the iExec Marketplace. 8 new bounties are open for this new round. Rewards range from $1,500 to $8,000 USD in RLC — a total of $30k in RLC ready to claim!

📝 How to claim a bounty
Bounties can be claimed by anyone who is up for the challenge! To apply for a bounty referring to a dapp, you must follow these 3 rules:
- Use the iExec stack
- Do not use someone else’s code,
- Provide all the documentation and resources you make use of.
Once you’ve submitted your proposal, the iExec team will be in touch within 2 weeks. When the work has been delivered, payment will be made through the Gitcoin platform.
Be careful: Bounties are active as soon as they are published. The new constraint that we have included for this new round is that when bounties are started, they must be completed within a period of 8 weeks.
💡 Got a project idea? Want funding and infrastructure support?
In addition to participating in bounties, you can have the opportunity to receive additional funding by applying to grants. If you have a project that uses iExec and want to receive funding and technical support, apply to the Developer Reward Program: https://iex.ec/grants/
You can watch Marcel Muller, General Manager of KnowledgeX (a startup in the data industry), explaining in this video how the $200.000 and support received from iExec helped his project evolve.
Thanks for reading!
