Hey Pickful community,

We're thrilled to announce that Topic Bounty is officially live!

This isn't just another feature — it's the community co-creation mechanism we've been building toward. We believe that when community members can directly incentivize each other to produce high-quality content, everyone benefits. This mechanism lays the foundation for Pickful's rapid growth and shared success.

🤔 What is it?

In short: You can set up a USDC bounty pool for any topic to reward authors who contribute great content.

Think a topic deserves deeper discussion? Set up a bounty to attract experts from the community. Rewards aren't decided by anyone's subjective judgment — they're automatically determined by community votes (likes). The more recognition your content receives, the bigger your share.

🚀 How does it work?

I want to sponsor a topic

1. Go to the Topics page and find the topic you're interested in
2. Click "Create Bounty Pool", set the amount (minimum 5 USDC) and deadline
3. Complete the on-chain payment via your wallet — the bounty is live instantly

That's it. Everything else — reward calculation, on-chain transfers, author notifications — is handled automatically.

I want to earn bounties

Even simpler: Post in a topic with an active bounty pool and earn likes. No sign-up, no extra steps.

After the deadline, the system automatically distributes rewards based on your posts' like share, with #USDC sent directly to your wallet.

💡 Haven't set up a wallet yet? No worries. Go to Settings → Profile to add your wallet address — pending rewards will be sent automatically.

After the deadline, the bounty pool details page shows the final distribution results and on-chain transaction records.

✨ Key Design Principles

• Fair & transparent — Rewards auto-distributed by like share, fully settled on-chain with traceable transactions
• Zero-barrier participation — Authors just post normally, no extra steps needed
• Anyone can sponsor — Not platform-driven; any community member can be a sponsor
• Rewards never lost — No wallet? No problem. Set it up later and rewards are sent automatically
