Bounty0x is partnering with district0x to bring bounty hunting to the 21st century​.
Bounty0x is a decentralized bounty hunting network.

On the Bounty0x Network there is no trust involved and all payments are handled by smart contracts.
Bounties are often used in the context of Software Development, Marketing, Research, Consulting and Journalism.
Bounty0x launched on October 15th and already has over $700k worth of bounties on it.

The Beta version will launch in Q2 2018. Bounty0x will hold a crowdsale on December 15th for the BNTY utility token.
Rather than build a new Governance system from scratch, the Bounty0x team plans to leverage the district0x Network and d0xINFRA framework.
