Maintainer view
Deploy escrow
Open the repo in the dashboard and deploy a multi-release Stellar escrow, then sign with a Stellar wallet.
Label issues
Add low, medium, high, or custom to a GitHub issue so the bounty amount is attached.
Custom amounts
For a custom bounty, comment @trustless-oss-bot 150 and the milestone updates immediately.
Manage liquidity
Use Refund funds in the dashboard to pull unused USDC from escrow back to your wallet.
Contributor view
Register a wallet
When assigned to a labeled issue, follow the bot link and connect a Stellar wallet.
On-chain milestone
Linking a wallet creates a milestone inside the repo escrow, so the payout is reserved.
Merge to release
When the maintainer merges your pull request, USDC is released from escrow to your wallet.
