Goals

Lightning Bounties exists to embody the ethos of Bitcoin and the Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) movement. We are building a bug bounty platform that is as free, open, and decentralized as the technologies it supports. Our mission is clear:

• Empower Global Talent: Enable anyone, anywhere, to contribute their skills to open-source technology without barriers or restrictions, fostering a meritocratic environment.

• Onboard Builders to Decentralized Tech: Bring more people into the Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and open-source ecosystems—technologies essential to freedom and innovation.

• Educate Developers: Lower the barrier to entry for contributing to open-source projects by guiding developers from beginner-friendly issues to solving critical challenges.

• Accelerate Open-Source Innovation: Drive the rapid development of decentralized technologies by connecting talented contributors with impactful projects and fostering transparent, inclusive collaboration.

• Showcase Bitcoin’s Utility: Reward contributors in censorship-resistant, borderless Bitcoin—bypassing centralized intermediaries like banks or payment processors and demonstrating Bitcoin's real-world value.

By aligning with the ethos of Bitcoin and FOSS, Lightning Bounties is more than just a platform—it’s a movement to decentralize opportunity, accelerate innovation, and empower individuals worldwide to build the tools that shape our future.
