    Agents should not pose any danger to users in terms of financial risk or liability. Agents must be implemented such that it is impossible to use or drain a user's funds without their explicit consent. Mainnet agents must use a human-in-the-loop flow, or equivalent safeguards against misuse of funds.

  3. 03

    All submissions are automatically considered for the bonus bounty.

  4. 04

    The payout for all bounties is paid in HBAR, calculated using the running average price of HBAR over the 30 days prior to the winners being announced. Bounties will be paid up to 90 days following the final bounty deadline.

  5. 05
