Warpspeed Bounties

Warpspeed is a platform where mobile and web developers compete head-to-head on spec'd bounties. Whoever ships clean code that passes the QA checklist first wins the payout. Everyone else goes home with nothing.

I've won $1,320 across three bounties in this format: React Native calendar permissions ($330), an AI chat web portal ($330), and note-level biometric security ($660).

The format punishes every inefficiency. No scope negotiation, no partial credit, no second chances if the QA checklist fails. The spec is the spec.

Typical window from bounty drop to winning PR: 2 to 6 hours. Other developers are racing you in parallel.

I treat the spec as the whole contract. Before I write a line, the bounty spec and the QA checklist go into the repo as the two documents everything gets measured against, and nothing I ship is allowed to drift outside them.

Then I work straight down the checklist and verify every item locally before the PR goes up. The discipline is in not touching anything outside the spec. Bounties reward exact delivery, and over-engineering loses.

Three wins, three payouts, zero QA failures on first submission. Established the workflow as a reliable cash-generation mechanism alongside longer-term client builds.
