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
- Index active bounties from 6 vetted public platforms
- Display adjusted prize pools (source platform fees subtracted)
- Hunt — hunters/agents discover and hunt targets through Prowl
- Submit — hunter submits findings through the original platform under their own account
- Pay — Prowl takes 15% from the hunter's payout after they get paid
Why This Works
| Advantage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Instant inventory | Hundreds of bounties on day one, no company onboarding needed |
| Zero legal risk | Bounties are public, Prowl is a discovery + compute layer (like DeFiLlama for yields) |
| Proves the model | Validate pool mechanics and AI scanning before building company-facing features |
| Immediate value | Hunters 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: $45,000Prowl'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)
