A trustless bounty protocol for GIWA. Protocols post bounties with on-chain escrow. An AI agent verifies the actual work — the diff, the tests, the merge, the deployment — and releases payment in seconds. No committees. No forms. No waiting.
Every ecosystem knows it needs builders. Almost none can pay them without friction — and a new chain lives or dies by the builders it attracts.
Grant rounds, review queues, multisig sign-offs. A developer who ships today gets paid next quarter — if ever.
Humans read applications, not code. Evaluation is subjective, political, and doesn't scale with the ecosystem.
Identity filters fail. Fake accounts and recycled repos capture funds meant for people doing real work.
This is the core loop of Mergit. Press the button and follow what the agent actually checks before releasing money.
A protocol or ecosystem fund posts a task and locks the reward in an on-chain escrow.
Anyone picks it up and does what developers do: opens a PR, writes tests, deploys the contract.
Mergit reads the diff, checks CI, confirms the merge and the deployment, and scores confidence.
Escrow releases to the developer's wallet in seconds — with the evidence logged and auditable.
GIWA is an Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack in partnership with the Optimism Foundation — the ecosystem that pioneered retroactive builder funding. Mergit brings that idea to GIWA, automated.
Builder acquisition is the first real challenge of any young ecosystem. Mergit makes GIWA the chain where shipping code pays — instantly and provably.
GIWA already invests in builders — manually, through programs like this one. Mergit turns that commitment into permanent, automated infrastructure.
