How it works

Trustless OSS turns GitHub issues into escrow-backed bounties. Maintainers fund a pool, contributors ship, and a merged pull request releases USDC.

Visual workflow

Maintainer logs in and connects a repo

Install the GitHub App

Deploy multi-release escrow

Label an issue

Bot asks for a wallet

Contributor links a Stellar wallet

Milestone is created on-chain

PR merge releases USDC

Connect GitHub

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 Withdraw in the dashboard to pull unused USDC from escrow back to your wallet.
