Stellar Passport Bounties

A GitHub-native bounties board for the Stellar ecosystem, operated by the Tellus Cooperative Foundation. Bounties are defined as MDX files with validated front-matter and ingested by the Passport app via GitHub API. Passport provides identity verification, anti-bot protections, and payout eligibility.

Quick Start (Contributors)

1. Create a Passport account and connect GitHub OAuth
2. Browse open bounties in the bounties/ directory
3. Fork the target repository, create a branch, and implement the change
4. Open a PR against the target repository with Fixes #<bounty-issue-id> in the description
5. Include the required proof JSON block in your PR body (generated via Passport app)
6. Respond to review feedback. When merged, maintainers will label the bounty payout-approved and schedule XLM payout to your Passport wallet

Maintainers (Summary)

• Create bounties by adding MDX files to the bounties/ directory
• Review incoming PRs in target repositories
• Approve by merging PRs and applying payout-approved label on bounty issues
• Use comment templates in docs/comment-templates.md for consistency
