+# Bounties
+
+Get paid to improve openpilot!
+
+## Rules
+
+* code must be merged into openpilot master
+* bounty eligibility is solely at our discretion
+* once you open a PR, the bounty is locked to you until you stop working on it
+* open a ticket at [comma.ai/support](https://comma.ai/support/shop-order) with links to your PRs to claim
+* get an extra 20% if you redeem your bounty in [comma shop](https://comma.ai/shop) credit
+
+New bounties can be proposed in the **#contributing** channel in Discord.
+
+## Issue bounties
+
+We've tagged bounty eligible issues across openpilot and the rest of our repos; check out all the open ones [here](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acommaai+is%3Aissue+label%3Abounty++&type=issues&state=open). These bounties roughly work out like this:
+* **$100** - a few hours of work for an experienced openpilot developer; a good intro for someone new to openpilot
+* **$300** - a day of work for an experienced openpilot developer
+* **$500** - a few days of work for an experienced openpilot developer
+* **$1k+** - a week or two of work (could be less for the right person)
+
+## Car bounties
+
+The car bounties only apply to cars that have a path to ship in openpilot release, which excludes unsupportable cars (e.g. Fords with a steering lockout) or cars that require extra hardware (Honda Accord with serial steering).
+
+#### Brand or platform port - $2000
+Example PR: [commaai/openpilot#23331](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/pull/23331)
+
+This is for adding support for an entirely new brand or a substantially new ADAS platform within a brand (e.g. the Volkswagen PQ platform).
+
+#### Model port - $250
+Example PR: [commaai/openpilot#30245](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/pull/30245)
+
+This is for porting a new car model that runs on a platform openpilot already supports.
+In the average case, this is a few hours of work for an experienced software developer.
+
+This bounty also covers getting openpilot supported on a previously unsupported trim of an already supported car, e.g. the Chevy Bolt without ACC.
+
+#### Reverse Engineering a new Actuation Message - $300
+
+This is for cars that are already supported, and it has three components:
+* reverse a new steering, adaptive cruise, or AEB message
+* merge the DBC definitions to [opendbc](http://github.com/commaai/opendbc)
+* merge the openpilot code to use it and post a demo route
+
+The control doesn't have to be perfect, but it should generally do what it's supposed to do.
+
+### Specific Cars
+
+#### Rivian R1T or R1S - $3000
+
+Get a Rivian driving with openpilot.
+Requires a merged port with lateral control and at least a POC of longitudinal control.
+
+#### Toyota SecOc - $5000
+
+We're contributing $5k to the [community-organized bounty](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/discussions/19932).
+
+#### Chevy Bolt with SuperCruise - $2500
+
+The Bolt is already supported on the trim with standard ACC. Get openpilot working on the trim with SuperCruise. It must be a normal install: no extra pandas or other hardware, no ECU reflashes, etc.
