The problem
Today it's Discord servers, Twitter DMs and HiddenDevs posts: portfolios nobody checks, payment that's only a promise, and final files traded over chat. When the work — or the money — goes missing, there's no held payment, no locked deliverables, and no one to call.
Why BountySmith
They're great communities — they just weren't built to hold money, verify work, or lock files. That's the part BountySmith adds.
Portfolios
The old way: Anyone can paste a reel into a DM — there's no way to know who actually made it.
BountySmith: Category-specific proof — renders, wireframes, reels — reviewed by an admin before a creator can take work.
Payment
The old way: Pay-and-pray or work-and-hope: one side always has to move first and trust the other.
BountySmith: Payment held upfront before work starts. The budget is committed before the first file is made.
Delivery
Final files sent over DMs, with nothing stopping either side from disappearing after.
How trust works
Every protection is enforced by the vault, not promised in a chat message.
Creators submit category-specific proof — renders, reels, wireframes — and an admin reviews it before they can take work.
The studio funds the bounty up front and the payment is held until approval. No funding, no work.
The creator uploads once to the deliverable vault — no files traded over DMs.
The studio previews images, video, audio and PDFs in the vault right away. Opaque files like .rbxm, .zip and .fbx stay locked.
Pricing
One flat platform fee on top of the creator's payout — here's a $500 bounty, line by line.
Example — $500 bounty
How it works
Studios fund with confidence. Creators deliver knowing the money is already there.
Post & fund
Write the brief and fund the budget before any work starts — the payment is held until approval.
Review verified applicants
Every applicant carries admin-reviewed proof for their discipline.
Preview in the vault
Images, video, audio and PDFs render in-page the moment work is submitted.
Approve to release
Releasing payment is what unlocks the final files for download.
Submit category proof
Renders, reels, wireframes, topology notes — whatever your discipline calls for.
Talent
Every profile admin-reviewed against the proof studios actually judge by.

Post a funded brief in minutes, or get verified and start applying today.
BountySmith: Vault-locked finals: previews are visible immediately, downloads unlock only when payment is released.
When it goes wrong
The old way: Ghosting, with no recourse beyond a call-out post.
BountySmith: Logged dispute resolution — an admin reviews the record, and every decision is a tracked action.
Not a job board with a chat box — the protections above are enforced in the product, not promised in a message.
Approval releases the held payment — only then do the final downloads unlock.
Get verified
An admin reviews your proof and awards your category badge.
