On-chain payroll for GitHub issues.

Lock USDC against an open issue. When the pull request lands in main, the smart contract pays the contributor — no invoices, no Stripe, no accounting back-and-forth.

How it works

From issue to payout in four steps.

One contract, one merge, one transaction. No back-channel invoicing, no off-chain promises.

  1. 01

    Open the issue

    Use GitHub the way you always have. File the bug or feature in your repo and describe the desired outcome.

  2. 02

    Lock the bounty

    Connect your wallet, attach a USDC amount to the (repo, issue) pair, and set an expiry. Funds sit in escrow.

  3. 03

    Merge the PR

    Review and merge the contributor's pull request on GitHub. No extra UI, no extra dashboard.

  4. 04

    Contract pays

    GitPay's oracle reads the merge event and releases USDC straight to the PR author's wallet on Base.

Realistic bounty cards.

What a fully-stocked board will look like once the contract is live and projects start attaching budgets to their backlog.

Why GitPay

Built for teams that want maintainers paid, not chased.

On-chain escrow

USDC sits inside BountyVault.sol on Base. No GitPay-owned wallet, no custodial surface, no rug vector.

GitHub-linked payout

An oracle observes the merge event from GitHub's API and triggers on-chain release. PR author's wallet receives USDC directly.

Built on Base

Settles in seconds, ~$0.0001 per payout. Native USDC liquidity through Circle's official Base deployment.

No invoices, no NET-30

Skip vendor onboarding, contractor forms, and accounting workflows. Every payout has an immutable BaseScan receipt.
