We currently have bounties in:
Bounties of €500-€5,000 are available to contributors who are willing to help us improve our documentation, resources, and libraries in order to better the Zama developer experience. These easy bounties are mostly aimed at students, independent developers, or researchers and can take the form of (but not exclusively):
- The creation of a tutorial or an application with one of our libraries
- The identification of a minor issue
- A contribution to our documentation
Bounties of €5,000-€50,000 are available to contributors who identify and resolve major issues, or for any significant contribution that will help us move the FHE space forward. These harder bounties are aimed at experienced researchers and developers and can take the form of (but not exclusively):
- A timing attack on one of our cryptographic libraries
- The identification of a major issue or vulnerability
- A significant contribution to one of our libraries
Bounties of €50,000+ are available to contributors who submit a major breakthrough.
