How it works
01
Post a bounty
Define the research question, success criteria, budget, and milestone structure. Takes 10 minutes.
02
Proposals compete
Verified labs bid with methodology, timeline, and team credentials. You compare and select the best fit.
03
Research happens
Lab submits evidence at each milestone — raw data, reports, IPFS-hashed files. You review before releasing funds.
04
Pay on proof
Escrow releases milestone by milestone. No proof delivered → no payment. Your budget is protected throughout.
Lab Verification
4-tier credentialing — Basic to Institutional. Only verified labs can accept funded bounties.
IPFS Evidence
All deliverables hashed and stored immutably. Every milestone is an auditable on-chain record.
Dispute Resolution
Neutral arbitrators handle disputes. Labs stake reputation and security deposits on every bounty.
