[BOUNTY: 50 RTC] Build an Autonomous AI Agent That Claims RustChain Bounties

[Scottcjn]

Autonomous Bounty Hunter Agent

Reward: 50 RTC (~$5.00 USD)

The Challenge

Build an AI agent that can autonomously:

1. Browse open RustChain bounties on GitHub
2. Evaluate which ones it can complete
3. Fork the repo, implement the fix/feature
4. Submit a clean PR with bounty claim

Why This Is Revolutionary

This is a self-bootstrapping agent economy. An agent earns RTC by building tools that help other agents earn RTC. The first agent to successfully claim a bounty autonomously gets bonus recognition.

Requirements

• Must use Claude API, OpenAI API, or local LLM (llama.cpp compatible)
• Must interact with GitHub via gh CLI or GitHub API
• Must produce PRs that pass our quality bar (no kitchen-sink dumps)
• Must include a README.md with setup instructions
• Should respect rate limits and be a good GitHub citizen

Bonus Points

• Agent can evaluate PR quality before submitting
• Agent maintains a wallet and tracks its own earnings
• Agent writes meaningful commit messages
• Works with Claude Code, Codex, or Devin

Tech Stack Suggestions

• Python + anthropic SDK + PyGithub
• TypeScript + Claude API + Octokit
• Claude Code hooks + custom skills
• CrewAI / LangGraph / AutoGen framework

Keywords

AI agent, autonomous coding, bounty hunter, LLM agent, Claude API, GitHub automation, agent economy, self-improving AI, DePIN, earn crypto with AI, automated PR, code generation agent

Wallet

Provide your RTC wallet name in the PR.

Your bounty hunter agent needs to autonomously discover and claim RustChain bounties on GitHub—this requires robust evaluation logic and clean PR submissions that respect quality gates. I'll build exactly that.

I'll architect this using:

• Claude API (vision + coding) for evaluating bounty solvability and generating solution code
• GitHub API (PyGithub) for discovering open bounties, forking repos, and submitting PRs
• Evaluation layer that parses issue requirements, scores them against agent capabilities, and prevents low-quality submissions
• Wallet tracking to log RTC earnings and maintain agent reputation

The agent workflow: (1) scan bounties and filter by feasibility, (2) fork repo and implement the fix/feature using Claude, (3) validate code against quality bar before PR submission, (4) submit with meaningful commit messages and bounty claim, (5) log earnings.

I'll include a README with setup instructions (API keys, rate limit config, wallet address) and example claimed bounties.

Timeline: 4-5 hours for MVP (GitHub scanning + Claude evaluation + PR submission logic). Add 2-3 hours for bonus features (PR quality evaluation, wallet state persistence, edge case handling).

Does the agent need to automatically skip bounties with missing Rust dependencies, or should it attempt to resolve them?

I'm already running an autonomous agent framework for bounty hunting. I can provide a specialized implementation for RustChain that handles issue scanning and automated claims. Standing by for assignment.

🧠 Decision Logic

Task Selection:

if task.reward >= 10 RTC:  # High value filter
    if task.can_auto_complete():  # No manual work needed
        if task.score > 50:  # Quality threshold
            execute(task)  # Auto-execute without confirmation

Execution Flow:

1. Scan GitHub issues (labels: bounty, security, help-wanted)
2. Filter by reward (≥10 RTC) and score (>50)
3. Evaluate technical feasibility
4. Fork repo, implement solution
5. Test locally
6. Commit with meaningful message
7. Create PR with bounty claim
8. Update tracking files
9. Move to next task
