Bounty Compliance Audit September 2025

Thanks a lot for the detailed response @alejandro

First I want to say that I personally think your public facing website is by far the best in the ecosystem. Great work there!

I was really sad that I couldnt find bounty reports and proposal linked somewhere on the website, maybe consider putting them in About or FAQ sections?

I also see that you have a budget breakdown in proposal #1331. The mix-up was on me due to the name difference between Ink!ubator and Wasm Smart Contracts, and the exclamation mark doesnt help with the search too. :sweat_smile: Maybe Subsquare team can help fix the naming on the bounties page to match the current name?

I will update the table to change reporting, public comms channel, and budget breakdown. That only leaves curator on-chain id’s as a red flag. But overall this is still enough for a compliant flag. Thanks a lot!

I do agree that the new look of use.ink is fantastic!! All the work was done by @flez @niklasp and @illustrator.dima, big kudos to them!

UPDATED TABLE (v.3)

Based on the information above, Wasm Smart Contracts bounty has been renamed to reflect Ink!ubator branding on the table and following changes have been made:

  • Reporting is changed from no → yes.
  • Public comms channel is changed from no → yes.
  • Budget breakdown is changed from no → yes.
  • Child bounty descriptions is changed from partial → yes.
  • The bounty is now green flagged as compliant.

The original post is also edited to reflect v3 changes on all bounties to prevent confusion. Thanks all the curators for providing explanations and helping the audit. We’ll be updating the status of the bounties if we receive further clarifications.

with the spending limit given a certain time approved by 1254 that shouldn’t be an issue. Putting the curators fees in a bracket or only applying it on a lower threshold also works.

I am curious on the legal bounty, I believe council on something we’re trying to beta to market will require this. Your chart basically shows there isn’t even a way I can get in touch with anyone, am I understanding correctly? :handshake:

If all treasury spends/ bounty top-ups went through scheduled payouts and not full up-front payments, wouldn’t we get way more accountability, transparency and higher quality from proposers and curators? The first referenda are making use of scheduled payouts, but why don’t they all use them?

With scheduled payouts, we could also intervene if need be with this tool.
