Algorand Trailbazer Bounty Program - with Gitcoin

Q: Which content is eligible for rewards?

Gitcoin Bounty Rewards are sponsored by the Algorand Foundation. See announcement. Please refer to the Algorand Foundation bounties page on Gitcoin for types of content that are currently eligible for rewards.

Q: My tutorial or solution was published. How do I claim my rewards?

To claim your rewards, you must also sign up to the relevant Gitcoin bounty as rewards are sponsored by the Algorand Foundation and handled via Gitcoin. If you have already published and submitted the above form and still have questions, please email [email protected].

Q: My tutorial or solution was “Rejected”. Why?

Our team works very hard to edit and review all the submissions and choose only high quality work that we believe will be most valuable to the developer community. We use the following criteria to guide us in the process:

  • Creativity/Ingenuity - How creative is the topic? If a similar tutorial or solution already exists on the Developer Portal, how is this different and important?
  • Relevance - Is the topic particularly relevant to the developer community given current market trends and community needs?
  • Complexity - How complex was the problem you were trying to solve? Was the solution to the complex problem simple and elegant?
  • Community Feedback - Is your topic supported and audited by the community? How many stars did the Github repo receive?
  • Utility/Value - How much value will this bring to the Algorand developer community? Does it help solve a problem that many developers have? Does it provide depth to a topic that doesn’t yet exist for a certain domain?
  • Code Quality - Is the code and repository well-organized and documented? Does it adhere to language-specific style guidelines?
  • Writing Quality - Is the writing clear and informative for a developer audience? Is it free from grammar mistakes and typos?
  • Scope of Work - How much time and effort did it take to complete this project?
  • Extra Media - Does the submission include images, screenshots, and/or videos?

If your bounty was rejected, you can make improvements to it and then resubmit to future bounties.
