BountyHub is a dynamic platform designed for GitHub users to place bounties on unresolved issues or earn money by solving them. It facilitates secure payments and provides a dispute resolution mechanism, ensuring a reliable environment for incentivizing open-source contributions. Users can link their GitHub account to BountyHub, create bounties for their open issues, and notify developers through an automated bot comment. When a developer submits a pull request and claims the bounty, the repository owner can review and accept the solution, triggering the payment process. If a bounty remains unclaimed, it can be retracted, and the funds will be refunded.

BountyHub serves both repository owners and developers. Repository owners benefit by accelerating project development and enabling financial contributions to issue resolution. Developers, or bounty hunters, gain the opportunity to earn money, contribute to open-source projects, and enhance their GitHub portfolio. The platform offers comprehensive documentation for bounty creators, hunters, and repository owners, ensuring a smooth and informed user experience.

Pricing

BountyHub offers a simple and transparent pricing structure. Bounty creators pay a 10% platform fee, so for a $100 bounty, the total cost is $110 plus any transaction fees. They also receive access to skilled solvers, platform maintenance, and dedicated support. Bounty hunters incur no platform fee and receive the full amount of the bounty, although transaction fees may apply depending on the payment method.
