Hello XDC Community,
We at Roxonn have built a platform to accelerate the development of the XDC Network's core technology.
What We've Built
The Roxonn platform is a live, on-chain system that allows the XDC Foundation to connect its development goals with talented developers worldwide. It’s designed to reward contributions to open-source code with automated, on-chain XDC payments.
Additionally, to make the review process faster for XDC's core team, our platform integrates with AI code review agents.
How It Works: A Transparent 4-Step Process
This system creates a direct link between a development task and an on-chain reward.
- Create a Reward Pool: The XDC Foundation team links one of their core GitHub repositories (e.g.,
XDPoSChain) to our platform. They then deposit XDC into a dedicated, on-chain reward pool for that specific repository. - Post the Bounty: The core XDC team identifies a task within that repository and attaches an XDC bounty to the GitHub issue (e.g., a bug fix in the
XDPoSChainnode software), funded from the pool. - Build & Review: A developer from the community submits a Pull Request. The integrated AI agent immediately performs an initial code review, providing fast feedback and saving the core team's valuable time.
- Get Rewarded: Once a core XDC developer validates and merges the Pull Request, our smart contract is automatically triggered, instantly paying the contributor their XDC bounty from the repository's pool.
The Strategic Advantage for the Entire XDC Ecosystem
This is more than just a tool; it's a new way to build our network, together.
- For the XDC Network: We can accelerate the core roadmap, fix bugs faster, and improve documentation by leveraging a global talent pool. This is how we out-innovate the competition.
- For the XDC Community: This provides a direct way for you to get involved in building the network you believe in. It also offers unprecedented transparency, allowing everyone to see exactly how development funds are being used to improve the protocol.
- For Developers: It creates a clear, reliable, and fast way to get paid in XDC for your skills and contributions to a leading L1 project.
The Proposal: A 3-Month Pilot Program
This is a proven strategy for building a world-class network. The Ethereum Foundation has successfully used bounties to harden its core protocol, and platforms like Gitcoin have scaled this model to fund thousands of open-source contributions. We can now implement a more advanced, in-house version of this successful strategy.
To demonstrate its power, we propose a focused 3-month pilot program:
- Scope: Focus on a critical user-facing repository:
XDPoSChain. - Action: We request the XDC Foundation seed a 10,000 XDC bounty pool on the Roxonn platform for this repository.
- Goal: We will report on the number of high-quality, merged PRs, showcasing a clear acceleration in the core client's development.

We believe this is a critical step in harnessing the full power of our community to build the future of the XDC Network.
We welcome all questions and feedback from the community and the Foundation.
Thank you,
The Roxonn Team
