Stay on top of bounties that need your attention and know what to do next. Look for the bell to see if you have a notification. We will denote new messages with a green circle. View messages via the drawer or click to see all of your notifications.
Rate your bounty experience! How was the contributor? How was the funder? Provide feedback on the work experience you’ve just had. After completion of a bounty, leave a quick rating using simple stars and feedback about your experience. For the time being the feedback will not be made public.
We now have a verified feature that allows anyone to see contributors who have been verified by the Gitcoin Core team or other top funders. This means that the core team has worked with and interacted with a specific contributor and and has deemed the contributor trustworthy on the Gitcoin platform.

Contributors can now skip Metamask during onboarding and start work without having Metamask set up.
