πŸ’°Superteam Earn FAQ

Types of Superteam Earn Listings

  1. Bounties: 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.

  2. Projects: 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).

Participation Process:

  • How can I submit to a Bounty or apply to a Project? Sign up on earn.superteam.fun (verify email + make a talent profile) -> pick a listing -> apply / submit, if it's a Project or Bounty listing, respectively, by clicking on the "Apply/Submit Now" button.

  • Do participants receive an email confirming their application? Yes. An email is sent out to the verified email address of the participant to confirm their submission.

  • What is the process for collecting payments for winners? Superteam / Solana sponsored listings: A lead from Superteam will reach out to the winners with a payment form. Fill in that form and expect to receive the reward within 7 days of submitting the form. Note that the winner needs to complete KYC to receive money for Superteam / Solana-sponsored listings. External Sponsors: Generally, rewards for listings sponsored by external companies (i.e. listings not sponsored by Superteam / Solana) will be paid out to the wallet associated with the winner's Superteam Earn account. Occasionally, some sponsors might ask for invoices, KYC, etc. as per their respective payment processes.

  • When working in teams, who should make the submission/application? All team members or just the lead? Ideally, only the team lead should submit/apply to the listing. This means less redundancy for sponsors' review, truer numbers of actual submissions/applications, ease of making payments, etc.

  • Can I make changes to my submission after submitting it?

    Currently no, that's not possible on Earn.

  • Do I need to post my submission on Twitter (for listings which are not Twitter thread bounties)?

    While it’s not mandatory, we recommend that participants tweet out their work so that:

    • We can RT the best entries to give them more exposure, and

    • It makes it easier for sponsors to discover the participant's submission
