Claiming Rewards
After a contributor’s pull request has been verified and validated, zkPull enables the contributor to claim their reward directly on-chain.
Claiming rewards is:
Permissionless
Deterministic
Enforced by smart contracts
Once validation succeeds, no additional approval is required.
When Can Rewards Be Claimed?
A contributor can claim rewards only if:
zkTLS proof generation was successful
AVS validation has been completed
The bounty is still active
The claim limit has not been exceeded
If all conditions are met, the reward becomes immediately claimable.
Reward Claim Flow (Step-by-Step)
Validation Completed AVS operators submit a successful validation result on-chain.
Reward Becomes Claimable The smart contract marks the claim as valid.
Contributor Initiates Claim The contributor clicks “Claim Rewards” in the zkPull interface.
On-Chain Transfer Funds are transferred directly from the bounty escrow to the contributor’s wallet.
No human intervention is involved in this process.
Trustless Payout Guarantees
zkPull ensures:
Funds are already locked before work begins
Validation rules are objective and enforced
Rewards cannot be blocked or delayed
Once conditions are met, the protocol must pay.
This eliminates common failure cases found in traditional bounty systems.
Fee Handling & Transparency
At claim time:
The protocol fee is automatically deducted
AVS operator rewards are allocated
The contributor receives the net payout
All fee movements are visible on-chain and verifiable.
Failure & Edge Cases
If reward claiming fails:
Funds remain safely escrowed
No partial payouts occur
The claim can be retried if conditions are still valid
Common reasons:
Validation not yet finalized
Claim limit reached
Incorrect claim index
These cases are handled deterministically by the contract.
