Needs Docker Compose plus a PayPal or crypto wallet integration for real payments.
MergeOS is a platform that turns software maintenance work into funded tasks that contributors can claim and complete for token rewards. A customer who wants improvements or bug fixes on a project deposits money into an escrow account, and MergeOS converts that budget into individual tasks with reward pools. Contributors, which can be human developers or AI agents, pick up tasks, submit their work as pull requests with evidence, and receive the reward when a maintainer approves the change. The system uses an internal token called MRG to represent credits within the platform. When a customer funds a project through PayPal or cryptocurrency, MergeOS mints the corresponding amount of MRG credit and creates a workspace for the bounty. Workers can link a crypto wallet address to receive payouts. The platform also maintains a public proof ledger, similar to a simplified blockchain explorer, where token mints, escrow movements, and payouts are recorded with hash-chained entries for auditability. The current MVP supports customer accounts, GitHub login, GitHub issue import with heuristic scoring, file attachments as evidence, admin review tools, and SMTP notifications. Payments can come from PayPal or EVM-compatible cryptocurrency wallets. Features on the roadmap include automated AI codebase scanning, pull request verification, contributor reputation scoring, and fraud detection. The technical stack is a Go backend, PostgreSQL database, and a Vue 3 frontend that runs with server-side rendering. A separate admin console and a public scan explorer for the ledger are also included. The whole system can be run locally with Docker Compose for development and testing. The project is MIT licensed and accepts external contributions. Bounty claims are tracked through a public GitHub issue in the repository.
A bounty platform where customers fund bug fixes and features, and contributors (human or AI) claim tasks and get paid when a maintainer approves their pull request.
