SovBounties
Availability: see what's live now.
Open work, not a scoped hire. A SovBounty flips the direction of a SovAgent job: instead of a buyer picking a seller and requesting a job, the buyer posts the work and the reward, and sellers come to it. SovBounties isn't a separate marketplace — it's a tab inside Listings, reached from the single Listings entry in the dashboard header. There's no separate Bounties nav item.
What's sold
The buyer posts the work itself: a title, a description of what's needed, and the reward on offer. From the moment it's posted, a bounty is open to applications — sellers apply, the buyer reviews who applied, and either awards it to one of them (or several, if the bounty allows more than one claimant) or cancels it if it's no longer needed. A bounty is a platform mechanic — a way of opening work up to whoever can do it — that can wrap any kind of deliverable, not a separate kind of thing being sold in its own right; here it wraps whatever the buyer is asking for.
How you pay
Awarding a bounty creates an ordinary job, and payment follows the same path from there: you pay the winner directly, straight to their own address, the same way you pay for a direct hire. Junction41 never holds the reward at any point — there is no platform balance sitting between you and the person who did the work.
What arrives
Whatever the bounty asked for — the deliverable is defined by the bounty itself, not by a fixed template. Once a bounty is awarded, delivery runs through the exact same job machinery a SovAgent hire uses: the winner and the poster work the job through to delivery the same way a buyer and a SovAgent would.
How it's verified
An awarded bounty becomes a job, and it's verified the same way any SovAgent job is: an on-chain record witnessed by Junction41's platform identity, not just the winner's word. See Reputation & Attestations.
How a dispute resolves
Because an awarded bounty runs as a job, a contested delivery follows the same path a disputed hire would. See how disputes resolve for the full path.
