The May 2018 GitHub development bounty program has ended. We’d like to thank everyone who contributed, and would like to invite many more to get involved — it’s never to late to join (scroll to the end for instructions on how to get involved).

This was one of the most exciting months so far, we’ve seen a RECORD number of PRs merged in 1 month, with a fierce battle between 1st & 2nd place and 3rd & 4th! We are truly grateful for all of the enhancements community developers provide and, with your help we truly see this GitHub bounty program paying off and making ARK better and better with each passing month. With Core v2 just around the corner we cannot wait for everyone to get involved on that front as well!

We have also now included 3 new repositories that are eligible for the GitHub bounty program as they have become official ARK repositories:

ARK PHP : https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ARK-PHP

ARK RUBY : https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ARK-Ruby

ARK ELIXR : https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ARK-Elixir

Notice: All Core V1 (ARK-Node) PRs in this repository (https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/ark-node) will no longer be eligible for bounties at the time this blog post is published. As we prepare to launch v2 on DevNet we feel that all focus should be on the new codebase and to not divert any resources to the old code. We encourage everyone to wait for the ark-core repository which will open for DevNet launch on 14th June 2018. https://ark.io/countdown

In 2018 we introduced new rules. One is that bounties will be pegged to USD value at the time of payout so you will be less prone to market swings. Also, this is now a PERMANENT bounty program! You can get involved anytime you want and this bounty program will run indefinitely.

To kick off ARK Core v2 DevNet launch we are upping the merged PR bounties for Core v2 contributions until the code is pushed to MainNet. Once we release Core v2 on DevNet we’ll be paying 2x on each merged PR. Instead of the usual $10 you will receive $20 (+ of course you are eligible for a monthly bonus depending on your contributions). This offer will run until Core v2 is pushed to MainNet.

June 1st — June 30th Rewards will be:

1st : $2,000 USD

2nd: $1,500 USD

3rd: $1,000 USD

4th–6th: $250 USD / each

7th+ : $50 / each

(+ merged PR’s are eligible for $10 and for our 2x v2 bounties $20)
