Pick how the prize is shared: one winner, several winners splitting it equally, the top 3, or a **custom split** where you set what each place gets (up to 10 places). > _"Create a 170 STX bounty for beginner tutorials in my campaign: 75 STX for 1st, 55 for 2nd, 40 for 3rd, ending October 31"_ A custom split can also offer a **bonus NFT** to one place: give Nova the collection's contract id, the token id and the place that wins it. > _"Add my NFT SP2PABAF9FTAJYNFZH93XENAJ8FVY99RRM50D2JG9.my-collection #42 as a bonus for 1st place"_ > [!NOTE] > The NFT must come from a collection Zero Authority accepts. It leaves your wallet into the bounty's escrow when you sign, and the contract charges a small STX fee for holding it. The signing card shows the NFT, the place that gets it and the fee before you sign. *** ## Gigs Browse the gigs marketplace for freelance opportunities. **Example prompt:** > _"Any design gigs open?"_ **What you'll get:** * Gig listings with status * Service category and description * Pricing and availability ### Pay for finished work Already worked with someone and the job is done? Ask Nova to pay them and record it, for example _"Pay SP... 200 STX for the logo they delivered last week"_. On zadao.ai a signing card opens: the payment goes straight to them in one transaction, with ZADAO's fee on top and no escrow, and the gig is recorded as completed so it counts toward both your REP. ### Price-on-request listings Some work has no fixed price, like _"I will build your app; the price depends on the scope"_. Ask Nova to publish your Work listing as **price on request**: it has no packages, just a typical turnaround, the token you quote in and, if you like, a "from" price. Say in the description what is not included, such as hosting or domains. Buyers press "Request a quote" on the listing, you answer in the conversation with a custom offer, and the buyer pays that offer into escrow. Nova will not hire such a listing at a fixed price; it suggests asking the seller for a quote instead. *** ## Grants Track grant programs and project funding. **Example prompt:** > _"Active grants on ZADAO"_ **What you'll get:** * Grant details and milestones * Funding progress * Project category and status *** ## Quests Discover structured missions with REP rewards. **Example prompt:** > _"What quests are active right now?"_ **What you'll get:** * Quest title, campaign, and deadline * REP rewards and NFT reward status * Activities/subtasks to complete * Completion requirements *** ## Governance & Events For SIP governance, CAB voting, and Stacks ecosystem events, see [Nova for CAB Groups & Governance](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/nova/cab-groups.md). *** ## Contributor Profiles Look up ZADAO community members. **Example prompt:** > _"Search for users with Clarity experience"_ **What you'll get:** * User profile and bio * Bounties won and services offered * Achievements and reputation *** ## ZADAO Documentation Ask Nova about how the platform works. **Example prompt:** > _"How do bounties work on ZADAO?"_ **What you'll get:** * Explanations of ZADAO concepts * Platform documentation and guides * Platform statistics (total bounties, gigs, users, grants)
