Welcome to the Alphland platform and Bounties guide!
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know so that you can browse, participate in, and earn rewards from bounties in the Alephium ecosystem.
What Are Bounties?
Bounties are paid tasks posted by ecosystem projects on Alphland. They cover a range of categories from content creation to design and development. By completing bounties, you earn rewards in $ALPH (Alephium's native coin), helping grow the ecosystem while getting compensated for your work.
Note that while all bounties are paid in ALPH, some listings may be displayed in a USD value. These will be paid in ALPH at the current exchange rate upon successful completion of the bounty.
How it works (in 3 steps):
- Join bounties from ecosystem projects
- Deliver high-quality work
- Earn ALPH and unlock new opportunities
Step 1: Browse Available Bounties
Go to alph.land/bounty to see all available opportunities.
On this page, you will find:
- Search bar: Type keywords to quickly find bounties matching your skills.
- Status filters: Filter bounties by status: All, Open, Closed, or Completed.
- Category filters: Narrow results by type: All, Content, Design, Development, or Other.
- Stats overview: See the total value earned across the platform, the number of open opportunities, and the number of completed bounties.
- Bounty cards: Each card shows the project logo, bounty title, sponsor name, difficulty level (e.g. Intermediate), status badge (e.g. Open), category tag, and the reward amount.
On the right sidebar, you'll also see the Recent Earners (community members who recently completed bounties).
Step 2: Open a Bounty and Review the Details
Click on any bounty card you may be interested in to open its detail page:
At the top you'll see:
- Bounty title and the sponsor (the project that posted it).
- Tags: type (Bounty), status (Open), scope (Global), and difficulty (Intermediate).
- Number of participants already working on it (e.g 2 participants).
- A bookmark icon to save the bounty for later.
Prizes Tab shows:
- Total Prizes: The total reward pool (e.g. 500 ALPH or 100 USD).
- Prize distribution: A visual breakdown showing how rewards are split across places (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
- Reward Breakdown table: Exact amounts for each placement.
- Payment Terms: How and in what currency you'll be paid. Usually, rewards are paid in ALPH.
On the left side you'll also see:

You will also find a comment section at the bottom. This is a discussion area where you can ask questions or interact with the sponsor and other participants.
Step 3: Complete the Work and Submit
Before submitting your work, make sure you’re logged in. If not, click the orange button at the top right of the page and follow the steps to complete your profile.
Once your work is ready and you’re logged in, click the "Submit Now" button on the bounty detail page. A submission form will appear.
Fill in the following fields:
- Submission Title (required): Give your submission a clear name.
- Description (optional): Describe your work and explain how it meets the bounty requirements.
- Submission URL (required): Provide a link to your work (e.g. a GitHub repo, a live demo, a published post, or documentation).
- Additional Notes (optional): Any extra information you want to share with the sponsor.
When everything looks good, click "Submit Work" to send your entry.
Step 4: Wait for Review and Earn Rewards
After submitting, the bounty sponsor will review all entries.
Here's what happens next:
- The sponsor evaluates all submissions based on the requirements and deliverables.
- Winners are ranked (1st place, 2nd place, etc.) according to quality.
- Rewards are distributed to the top submissions based on the prize breakdown.
Tips for Success
We want you to win. Here’s how to improve your chances:
