# Bounties
|
||
|
||
## What are Manifold bounties?
|
||
|
||
From time to time, a member of our community goes above and beyond in helping Manifold make prediction markets accessible & ubiquitous. We’d like to recognize such contributions publicly, and include a token of our appreciation in the form of M$!
|
||
|
||
Examples of community work that may be eligible for a bounty:
|
||
|
||
- Blog posts, markets, or comments which lead us to significantly change our views
|
||
- A track record of creating markets that help people make better decisions
|
||
- Promoting Manifold & forecasting to a wider audience
|
||
- Identifying serious exploits with our financial infrastructure
|
||
|
||
Our community is the beating heart of Manifold; your individual contributions are what make this platform valuable at all. Thanks to everyone listed here (as well as countless unnamed others) for your help & support!

## Final note
|
||
|
||
If a particular contribution isn't listed here, that doesn't mean we didn't really appreciate it. There’s so much great work by our community; we aren't always able to catch them all!
|
||
|
||
If you feel that someone's exceptional contribution has fallen through the cracks (including your own!), please consider creating a market for “Will <X\> be recognized for a Manifold bounty?” and posting it on our Discord. Thanks!
