# Participate in a bounty

Bounties pay creators and developers to complete a task. Most bounties are either **promotion/content** or **hackathon/build** focused. You do the work and submit proof. If selected, you receive CAMP reward.

### Find a bounty

1. Go to **Bounties**: <https://creatorsvault.xyz/bounty>
2. Browse active bounties.
3. Filter by platform or activity status (if available).

### Participate

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Read the instructions carefully

* Check supported platforms and content format.
* If it’s a build/hackathon bounty: check allowed stacks, required deliverables, and judging criteria.
* Check the activity window (start/end).
* Check what counts as valid proof.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Do the work (post or build)

* For promotion bounties: post during the activity window.
* For build/hackathon bounties: build during the activity window (if required).
* Keep your proof public until payouts are complete.
* Include required tags/links/mentions (promotion) or required links/docs (build).
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Submit proof

* Submit the public URL to your post.
* If building: submit repo/PR links and a demo link/video (if required).
* Authenticate with **iOrigin** if prompted. This lets us fetch your X/TikTok data from the source.
* Add optional notes if allowed.
* Double-check the URL is correct and accessible.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

Typical proof depends on the bounty type:

**Promotion/content bounties**

* Public post URL (X/Twitter, TikTok, etc.).
* Required tags/mentions/links visible in the post.
* Optional notes (context, metrics).

**Hackathon/build bounties**

* Repo URL (or PR link) with a clear README.
* Demo link (live URL) or demo video link.
* Optional: short write-up, screenshots, architecture notes.

### Camp Origin authentication (Origin SDK)

Creator Vault uses the **Origin SDK** to fetch submission details from the source. This typically includes the **X username**, **tweet URL**, and **TikTok URL** tied to your submission.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t authenticate with **iOrigin**, you may not be able to submit most fields, or your submission may be missing key metadata.
{% endhint %}

### Hackathon + build bounty tips

* Submit **one entry per team** unless the bounty says otherwise.
* Use the same wallet address for your submission and payout.
* Call out what you built vs what you integrated.

### What happens next

* The bounty creator reviews submissions after the deadline.
* Winners are selected.
* Rewards are distributed.
