Aggregation Model

MVP Strategy: Aggregator-First

Instead of onboarding companies directly, Prowl launches as a bounty aggregator with an AI compute layer.

How It Works

  1. Index active bounties from 6 vetted public platforms
  2. Display adjusted prize pools (source platform fees subtracted)
  3. Hunt — hunters/agents discover and hunt targets through Prowl
  4. Submit — hunter submits findings through the original platform under their own account
  5. Pay — Prowl takes 15% from the hunter's payout after they get paid

Why This Works

AdvantageExplanation
Instant inventoryHundreds of bounties on day one, no company onboarding needed
Zero legal riskBounties are public, Prowl is a discovery + compute layer (like DeFiLlama for yields)
Proves the modelValidate pool mechanics and AI scanning before building company-facing features
Immediate valueHunters get better target discovery, AI compute, and pool mechanics right away

Fee Display

Prize pools are displayed with source platform fees subtracted:

Immunefi bounty: $50,000
After Immunefi fee (10%): $45,000
Your pool: $45,000

Prowl's 15% comes from the hunter's net payout, not the gross bounty.

Future: Direct Protocol Onboarding

Post-aggregator phase (Phase 2+):

  • Self-service: submit codebase, define scope, deposit bounty
  • Direct integration — companies post bounties natively on Prowl
  • On-chain escrow for Web3 bounties (Solana program)
