CoDesign FAQ
A bounty is a competitive task, where everyone participating does the work and the best submission(s) get rewarded. Consider it as a contest where multiple people attempt the same scope of work.
Bounties are a great way to build your crypto proof of work while having an upside of winning some 💰 for excellent work.
A Project listing is an ad for hiring a freelancer, where people fill out a custom application form (determined by the sponsor) and the best applicant gets selected to do the work. The scope of work is completed by only the selected applicant(s).
The main difference between bounty and project listings is the number of people who complete the scope of work. Multiple people submit in a bounty, while for a Project, only the selected person/team completes the scope of work.
