What is Topic Bounty?

Topic Bounty is Pickful's content incentive feature. Any user can create a USDC bounty pool for a topic to reward authors who publish quality content. Rewards are automatically distributed based on the proportion of likes each author's posts receive — more likes, bigger reward.

As a Sponsor: Creating a Bounty Pool

Step 1: Start a Bounty

1. Go to the Topics page and enter the topic you want to sponsor
2. Click the "Create Bounty Pool" button
3. Fill in the details:
4. • Amount: Minimum 5 USDC
   • Deadline: At least 1 hour from now
5. Submit

Step 2: Pay

After submitting, you'll be redirected to a payment page. Complete the USDC on-chain payment via your wallet (MetaMask, OKX Wallet, etc.). Once paid, the bounty pool status changes to "Active".

💡 You can cancel if you're not ready to pay. Unpaid bounty pools are automatically cancelled after the deadline.

Step 3: Wait for Deadline

While the bounty pool is active, the topic page displays bounty information including:

• Total bounty amount
• Deadline and time remaining
• Live estimated reward distribution (updates in real time)

After the deadline, the system automatically distributes rewards.

As an Author: Earning Bounties

How to Participate

Simply post in a topic that has an active bounty pool and earn likes. No extra steps needed.

Reward Calculation

• Rewards are distributed based on like share
• All likes across an author's posts in the topic are aggregated
• Example: If the topic has 1,000 total likes and your posts received 300, you get 30% of the bounty pool

Claiming Rewards

• Wallet address set: Rewards are automatically sent to your wallet via on-chain transfer — no action needed
• No wallet address: Rewards are marked as "Claimable". Go to Settings → Profile to add your wallet address, and the system will automatically process the payout

FAQ

Q: How soon after the deadline will I receive my reward? A: The system checks for expired bounty pools every few minutes. After distribution, on-chain transfers are initiated automatically and typically arrive within minutes.

Q: What if no one posts or no posts receive likes by the deadline? A: The bounty pool is marked as "Refunded".

Q: Can a topic have multiple bounty pools? A: Yes. Different users can sponsor the same topic, and each bounty pool is calculated independently. A single user can only have one unpaid bounty pool at a time.

Q: Which chain does the bounty pool use? A: All payments and transfers are on the Base chain using USDC.

Q: What wallet do I need? A: Any EVM wallet that supports the Base chain, such as MetaMask, OKX Wallet, or TokenPocket.
