Month of October has passed and so did our October’s Github bounty program. Thanks to all who participated in October and we hope you will continue to do so in November, and don’t forget it is never to late to join — what better way to learn and earn some ARK.

Don’t forget we are running a special ARK Core Testathon from 1st November 2018 till 8th November 2018 with increased rewards in the week on ARK Core Repo : https://blog.ark.io/ark-core-testathon-c965c07373e3

We also have numerous official SDK repos covering majority of the programming languages, so if you’d like to get started with blockchain development, we have you covered and don’t forget to give our PR guidelines a read.

November 1st — November 30th rewards will be:

1st : $2,000 USD

2nd: $1,500 USD

3rd: $1,000 USD

4th & 5th: $250 USD / each

6th–8th : $50 / each

(+ merged PR’s — $10 and for merged Core v2 PRs $20 each)
