BountySignal

Paid issues, before the crowd.

BountySignal checks the source issue—not just the marketplace card—before surfacing paid developer work. It labels competition, reward state, and payout rail so developers can reject stale work before spending hours on it.

Agent-payable APIs

BountySignal publishes an OpenAPI contract, an x402 discovery manifest, and an agent card. Payments settle directly to the declared merchant wallet in USDC.

Try the free preflight

Check any public GitHub issue before paying:

curl --get \
  --data-urlencode "issue_url=https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<number>" \
  https://fortyeight-rescue.jaeber2se.chatgpt.site/api/brief/preflight

The response reports current source availability, open or closed state, stated reward markers, exclusions, and eligibility for the paid due-diligence brief.

Opportunity radar

The radar returns ranked, source-linked public software bounties. It costs 0.05 USDC per call and is available on Polygon and Base:

• POST /api/opportunities/x402
• POST /api/opportunities/x402/base

Bounty due-diligence brief

The brief analyzes one public GitHub bounty issue and returns current source state, stated reward evidence, observed payout rails, competition and linked-PR signals, extracted scope, a deterministic pursue/verify/skip score, pre-work questions, an execution plan, a ready-to-post claim draft, and a SHA-256 checksum. It costs 5.00 USDC per brief:

• Free validation: GET /api/brief/preflight?issue_url=<encoded URL>
• Polygon: POST /api/brief/x402
• Base: POST /api/brief/x402/base

The paid request body requires issue_url and accepts optional skills and max_hours. Run preflight first so invalid, unavailable, or excluded work is rejected before payment. Security, vulnerability, smart-contract, and offensive work is excluded from both products.

Pro purchase and activation

BountySignal Pro costs 29 USDC on Base for 30 days.

Agents can purchase directly with x402 by calling:

• Base: POST /api/pro/x402/base
• JSON body: {"github_username":"<account>"}

The paid response returns the activation URL. Decode the Base64 PAYMENT-RESPONSE header and copy its transaction field into the activation form.

Buyers can alternatively use the PayanAgent Pro listing with a github_username, or pay directly:

1. Send exactly 29 native USDC on Base to: 0x77797F896DC65D779a25aa924d160763EE89c662
2. Open an activation issue.
3. Include the public transaction hash and the GitHub username that should receive private-feed access. The payment is checked automatically and a private-repository invitation normally arrives within 15 minutes.

For a PayanAgent purchase, copy the transaction hash from the response's X-Tx-Hash header and use the returned activation URL.

Never post a seed phrase, private key, email address, home address, or other private information in an issue.

What Pro includes

• Five-minute scans of supported sources
• GitHub issue alerts for newly verified work
• Rewarded, withdrawn, and payment-pending listings suppressed
• Competition and payout-rail notes
• 30 days of access per payment; no automatic renewal

Read TERMS.md before paying.

Implementation services

For teams that want a scoped code change instead of an API subscription, the same developer offers three fixed-price services through LaborX escrow:

• Focused Next.js or React production fix — $149
• One external-service integration for Next.js — $249
• Next.js deployment or CI workflow repair — $499

Each listing defines its fixed boundary, required access, delivery window, and exclusions. Work begins only after the LaborX contract is funded or escrowed.

Delivery evidence

Winning a paid issue still requires reviewable proof. The runx guide explains one reproducible way to package a governed run, inspect its receipt, and give a bounty reviewer durable evidence links.
