Stacks Builder Challenges: Earn Weekly STX for Building on Bitcoin

Stacks x Talent Protocol

This December, Stacks and Talent Protocol are teaming up to launch a rewards program for the people who make the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem come alive: builders.

From December 10-30th, you can join three hands on Stacks challenges designed to help you explore new tools, try fresh ideas, and earn STX rewards along the way. Rewards are automatic and based on real onchain and open-source contributions.

If you build on Stacks, you earn. Simple as that.

‍

Who Can Join

To participate, you’ll need to:

• Have a Stacks compatible wallet and connect it on talent.app → Settings
• Not be on OFAC’s SDN list or subject to sanctions
• Pass standard compliance checks at payout time
  
  

For the full eligibility list, check the official Terms & Conditions.

‍

December Builder Challenges

Three weeks, three challenges, three STX payouts. Join one challenge or all three. Every week is a new opportunity to earn.

The challenge for week 1 is Clarity 4: build contracts using new features.

‍

How Rewards Work

Each challenge has its own STX reward pool. Builder contributions are ranked weekly across three tiers.

Rewards inside each tier are distributed proportionally based on impact and activity. Rankings are determined using Talent Protocol’s scoring system, and any fraudulent activity leads to disqualification.

‍

Getting Paid

• Rewards are sent automatically to your linked STX address
• No submissions, no claims, no extra steps
• Rewards only apply to the work you ship during each challenge window

You’re responsible for any taxes associated with rewards.
