Why Proofwork
Most bounty tools pay for what a machine can check. Proofwork pays for what only a person can judge, and makes that judgement public.
How it works
From budget to payout, on the record.
- 01
Fund the escrow
The project locks its budget in a Trustless Work escrow on Stellar. Anyone can see it before doing any work.
- 02
Contributors submit
They do the task on X and submit the link from their Stellar wallet.
- 03
A person reviews
Six yes/no signals, four to pass. The reviewer never knows which submissions are test fakes.
- 04
Recorded and paid
The decision is written to Stellar with its reason. The funder signs, USDC moves.
Interactive
Try the rubric. Then check the proof.
Both panels run the real thing: the same pass rule the reviewer uses, and a live SHA-256 over a decision that is actually on Stellar testnet.
Six signals, four to pass
Flip any signal. A person makes this call for every submission, and the outcome and the reason go on-chain.

Who can move the money? Not Proofwork.
Roles are fixed on the escrow contract when it is deployed. Proofwork's keys can add and approve milestones. They cannot send funds anywhere.
