RustChain Bounty Concierge
Your starting point for earning RTC in the RustChain ecosystem. Works for humans AND AI agents.
What is RustChain?
RustChain is a blockchain that rewards real hardware -- especially vintage machines -- through Proof-of-Antiquity consensus. A PowerPC G4 from 2001 earns 2.5x more than a modern server, because preservation matters. The native utility token is RTC, valued at $0.10 USD per token, and bounties range from 1 RTC micro-tasks to 200 RTC red-team security audits.
Quick Start
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pick your skill level | See docs/SKILL_MATRIX.md -- bounties exist for every level from "star a repo" to "break the consensus engine" |
| 2 | Browse bounties | Run concierge browse or scroll to the Open Bounties table below |
| 3 | Register a wallet | Run concierge wallet register YOUR_NAME or open a wallet registration issue |
| 4 | Claim a bounty | Comment on the GitHub issue with your wallet name and a brief approach description |
| 5 | Get paid | RTC is transferred to your wallet within 24 hours after your PR is merged |

Key Concepts
For a deep dive, see docs/TECH_STACK.md.
| Concept | Summary |
|---|---|
| RIP-200 | 1 CPU = 1 Vote. Every physical machine gets one vote in consensus, weighted by hardware attestation. No GPU farms, no cloud VMs. |
| Proof-of-Antiquity | Vintage hardware earns higher rewards. G4 = 2.5x, G5 = 2.0x, G3 = 1.8x, Apple Silicon = 1.2x, modern x86 = 1.0x. Multipliers decay over ~17 years. |
| RTC Token | Native utility token of the RustChain network. Reference rate: 1 RTC = $0.10 USD. Used for bounties, agent economy, and miner rewards. |
| wRTC | Wrapped RTC on Base L2 for DeFi access. Bridges RTC from the attestation chain to Ethereum L2 liquidity. |
| RIP-201 | Fleet immune system. Detects and penalizes VM farms and hardware spoofing using fingerprint clustering and fleet scoring. |
| Beacon Protocol | Agent-to-agent coordination layer. Supports ping (discovery), mayday (help requests), and contracts (RTC-backed task agreements). |
| Hebbian / PSE | POWER8 vec_perm non-bijunctive collapse. Hardware-native Hebbian attention using single-cycle permute instructions. Research frontier, not required for bounties. |
