Platform Fee Handling

Source platform fees are subtracted before Prowl's fee is applied:

Gross bounty: $50,000
Source platform fee (e.g., Immunefi 10%): -$5,000
Net bounty: $45,000
Prowl platform fee (20% base, reduced by staking): -$9,000 (at base rate)
Hunter receives: $38,250

Token Payouts

Some Web3 bounties pay in native protocol tokens rather than stablecoins:

  • Hunters and sponsors must register multi-chain wallet addresses
  • Platform fees are collected in whatever token the bounty pays
  • Auto-converted to USDC/SOL for revenue distribution

Auto-Refresh

  • Bounties are re-indexed every 6 hours
  • New bounties appear automatically
  • Expired/completed bounties are removed
  • AI complexity scoring applied to each target
