Hello to the Enigma community! Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our first developer bounty program!

This initial effort focuses on creating certain building blocks for secret contract development. This should result in several open-sourced repos that feature sample secret contracts (written in Rust!) and a simple client-side UI (using Enigma-JS).

Bounty Guidelines

Bounty submissions should contain well-documented code that can be followed along easily by another developer.

These bounties will become part of our educational resources moving forward, and they’ll be available to future developers as examples, inspiration, and starting points.

Please complete the application process before starting work — we will be reviewing pre-submission materials and initially selecting just one applicant at a time for each bounty.

Current Bounties

In this batch, we’re funding work on these particular applications:

Each application is described in more detail inside the respective issue.

Check out the issues, and if one of these is interesting to you, follow the instructions to complete a pre-submission application, and you will hear from us shortly!

Funding for each bounty varies based on complexity — from $400-$600 in this round. We’ll be managing these bounties with Gitcoin. The first bounty (secret access-control) has already been posted to Gitcoin here.

The remaining bounties can be viewed using the links above for now, but we will update this blog post as they are successfully added to Gitcoin. Thank you for your patience as we, like everyone else, deal with the current slowness of the Ethereum network :)

If you have questions or comments about these bounties, please post on our Developers Forum! Our team will respond as quickly as they’re able and help you get started building with Enigma.

Oh, and P.S. — we’re also excited to be soft-relaunching our Discord as a live-support channel for developers! If you have questions or feedback that you want to discuss in real time, please join the conversation on Discord!

Onwards and upwards,

The Enigma Team
