Bounties you're working on

Open pull requests you authored on funded repos. If the PR says “Fixes #N” and N has a bounty, merging it pays you. Using a coding agent that opens PRs from a bot account? Make sure the PR is assigned to you, and you get paid instead of the bot.

Payouts

payouts.app

Payout pipeline

Each bounty goes Merged → Awarded on Arc → Paid to your wallet. Awards wait in the contract for up to 180 days until you link a wallet. After that, funders can take them back.

Activity

activity.app

Your merged work this month

Live from GitHub. A day is marked when at least one of your PRs merged anywhere on GitHub. Filled days with a coin are days you were paid on Arc.

How a payout happens

A bounty pays when a PR that closes its issue is merged on the funded repo. The pinned workflow asks GitHub for a signed token naming you as the author, and the Arc contract checks GitHub's signature before releasing the USDC. Merges on other repos show here as activity but don't pay.

Bounties you funded

Funds stay in the contract until a merge pays them out. If nothing merges by the deadline, or the winner never links a wallet within 180 days, your share comes back with one click.

Funded repos

Each of these repos has USDC waiting on some of its issues. Pick a funded issue, or check what's already in flight in the open pull requests. The merge is the bar, and the contract pays the author.

Fund an issue

Three steps, in this order. Your USDC is escrowed on Arc and only released by a GitHub-signed proof that the claimant's PR closing the issue was merged. If nothing merges by the deadline, it comes back to you.

Step 1 · Pick the issueto do

1-issue.app

Repository Issue #

Paste an issue URL like github.com/owner/repo/issues/12 and both fields fill in.

Step 2 · Install the workflowafter step 1

.github/workflows/mergepay.yml

Once per repo. This is what notices the merge and asks GitHub to sign the proof, so without it a merge can't pay. It never checks out PR code.

Easiest · use your coding agent

Copy a ready-made prompt, paste it into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and it adds the file for you.

Or · on github.com

Opens GitHub's "new file" page with the workflow already filled in. Just press Commit.

Payout wallet

Link your GitHub account to an Arc wallet once, and every bounty you win lands there automatically. Linking can happen before or after a merge. You never need USDC for gas.

Link in one click

GitHub has to vouch for the link, so MergePay runs a tiny workflow in a repo of yours (you/mergepay-link, created if needed) and GitHub signs the proof. The contract checks that signature.

Connect the wallet that should receive USDC
Any Arc wallet. You won't pay gas.
2
Link it to your GitHub account
GitHub asks once for permission to create that public repo and run its workflow. The permission is used right away, then thrown away and never stored.
