When your PR is merged, the bounty creator sees all merged PRs and decides allocation:
- Single developer: Allocate 100% to one contributor
- Multiple developers: Split payment by contribution (e.g., 70%/30%)
- Reject: Allocate 0% if work doesn't meet requirements
In this example:
- Developer: @1bcMax (PR #4)
- Allocation: 100% = $10.0 USDC
- Creator clicks "Confirm Payment Decision"
Protection: If creator doesn't decide within 7 days, payment auto-splits equally among all merged PRs.
