<p>As web3 continues to grow, we can expect to see new iterations of bounty networks and more tools emerging to support developers, designers, marketers, and all other contributors to the web3 community, such as Task Marketplaces.</p><p>In this article, we'll go over the best web3 bounty platforms and Task Marketplaces to provide an overview of the state of bounties and what you can expect in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How do bounty platforms and Task Marketplaces work?</h3><p>The exact details of web3 bounty programs and Task Marketplaces can vary depending on the platform or project offering the bounty or <a href="https://blog.bepro.network/work-on-a-task-step-by-step-guide?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=state-of-web3-bounties" target="_blank">task</a>. Generally, web3 bounties and Task Marketplaces provide builders with access to web3 projects needing their expertise. </p><p>Contributors will then use this access to identify and fix any bugs or complete tasks within the web3 project and receive a reward once the project management team or community has verified their work.</p><p>Some web3 bounty programs and Task Marketplaces offer financial incentives for bug bounties, while others may focus on more creative rewards like public recognition or early access to web3 products or services.</p><p>Regardless of the type of reward, web3 bounties and Task Marketplaces are a great way for builders to get involved in the web3 community and earn extra income.</p><p><br /></p><h3>Bepro</h3><p>Bepro is a <a href="https://app.bepro.network/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=state-of-web3-bounties" target="_blank">Task Marketplace</a> where organizations and web3 projects can create tasks for builders to work on. Unlike common bug bounty platforms that are focused on software development, the Task Marketplace offers builders with different skills the opportunity to work on tasks in exchange for monetary rewards.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/uD2VmqhGDxnfN19_FH5rVoKyPNM0lQBZ-1-V_tE0pe0/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9lNjJhNWIzMC0xODVmLTExZWYtYjIwNy05NTQyOTJhMTI4ZmVTY3JlZW5zaG90IDIwMjQtMDUtMjIgYXQgMTYuNTUuMTgucG5n" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /></p><h3><br /></h3><p><br /></p><p>Designers, content writers, developers, and any kind of builder can join the Task Marketplace and submit their deliverables to open tasks which are then reviewed by community curators who select the best solution and reward the winning contributor.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/KlE5GHhCX14aJLKCveusguUlkGRYgXidNbf3jkMJH2E/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy9kYzc4ODNhMC0xODVmLTExZWYtYjIwNy05NTQyOTJhMTI4ZmVTY3JlZW5zaG90IDIwMjQtMDUtMjIgYXQgMTcuMDcuMzQucG5n" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /></p><p><br /></p><h3><br /></h3><h3>More than open-source development</h3><p>A Task Marketplace like Bepro does more than just solve security bugs or build new features for a project. It can also act as a hiring assessment tool to help DAOs find real talent based on the submissions received or advance their projects with freelance work instead of incurring hiring costs.</p><p>Developers who complete the work get paid, build rapport within the community, and create a tailored portfolio based on the projects they have contributed to.</p><p>Start earning an extra income and build your portfolio by working on the tasks available in the Task Marketplace:</p><ul><li><a href="https://app.bepro.network/open-marketplace/task/165" target="_blank">Make-a-Meme Competition</a></li><li><a href="https://app.bepro.network/open-marketplace/task/164" target="_blank">Analysis of Builder Ecosystems Across the Most Prominent Blockchains</a></li><li><a href="https://app.bepro.network/open-marketplace/task/163" target="_blank">Compile a list of Ethereum wallet addresses from key influencers and KOLs</a></li><li><a href="https://app.bepro.network/open-marketplace/task/157" target="_blank">Share Your Bepro Task Experience</a></li></ul><p><br /></p><h3>Submit solutions with deliverables in any format</h3><p>The deliverables can be any type of file – it can be a document, a presentation, a link, a GitHub link, or any type of file that delivers the expected solution for that task. For detailed information on how to submit deliverables, make sure to check this <a href="https://blog.bepro.network/work-on-a-task-step-by-step-guide" target="_blank">tutorial for builders</a>.</p><p>The solutions submitted will then be reviewed by curators, who are community members responsible for evaluating and approving the work. If the curators deem the solution satisfactory, they will propose a reward, and the builder will receive the funds in their wallet.</p><p><br /></p><h3>A simple crypto payment process</h3><p>One of the main problems with bounties today is related to payments - often done manually, can take weeks or months to be validated and processed, and ultimately consume time and energy.</p><p>The Task Marketplace addresses this issue with automated payments in $BEPRO, $USDC, $USDT, and $DAI. When curators accept a solution as the best one, the builder who contributed to that solution is paid with an automatic reward process triggered automatically when the solution is accepted.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>If you want to learn more about the Task Marketplace, you can refer to the <a href="https://blog.bepro.network/task-marketplace-faqs" target="_blank">FAQs</a>.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><h3>Gitcoin bounties</h3><p><a href="https://gitcoin.co" target="_blank">Gitcoin</a> is a place for contributors to get paid for their open-source work.
