The 1st month of the GitHub Development Bounty (1st of April 2017–30th of April 2017) has finished and we are truly grateful and positively astonished by the number of Github Pull-Requests (PR) that have been submitted in only our first month of running this campaign. Without further ado, here are the winners for the month of April:

1st of April 2017–30th of April 2017:

1st place: 5,000 ARK

Github User: 4miners for great PRs for Ark Block Explorer

2nd place: 3,000 ARK

Most Valuable Pull (MVP-ARK) : 2,000 ARK

Github User: Mrv777 for biggest pull request on Ark Block Explorer which took care of a lot of bugs

Congratulations to all of the April winners!

The amount of participation in the program has exceeded our expectations and we have witnessed a large number of new developers joining ARK and submitting great Pull-Requests. As such, we want to ensure that everyone is being recognized for their contributions. For the month of May, we are going to try a slightly altered reward structure that will reduce the reward for the top 3 winners to allow us to recognize even more of our awesome community developers.

For the month of May, the total monthly ARK rewards for the program will still be 12,000 ARK, but we are going to increase the number of contributors rewarded from the top 3 to the top 10. Here is a breakdown of what the rewards will look like for May:

1st of May 2017–31st of May 2017 :

1st place: 4,000 ARK

2nd place: 2,000 ARK

3rd place: 1,000 ARK

4th-8th place: 500 ARK /each

9th-10th place: 250 ARK/each

Most Valuable Pull (MVP-ARK) : 2,000 ARK
