Up to $10 per bug. Be first.
Every app test on TapQA has its own bounty. It starts at $1 and rises $1 for every 4 hours nobody reports there, up to $10. Be the first to report and you lock that price, paid in USDC once a reviewer validates it.
Launch limit $10 per bug for now. The ceiling goes up after launch.
Pick the biggest bounty.
Each row is one live test with its own clock. The longer a test goes without a report, the more the next one locks. When someone files, that row drops back to $1 and the rest keep climbing.
Six rules. No fine print.
Start
Every test's bounty starts at one dollar.
Every 4 hours without a report
It rises by a dollar for every 4 hours nobody files a report in that test.
Ceiling
It stops climbing at $10, after 36 hours without a report. That is the launch limit: it goes up later.
Reset on report
Any report filed in a test sends that test back to $1. The others keep climbing.
At submit
Your price is the bounty at the moment you submit, whatever happens after.
After validation
A reviewer checks every report. Validated ones are paid; rejected ones earn nothing.
One exception. Typos, broken links and layout on the app's website, help center and academy have a tab of their own at a flat $1 per accepted report. The rising bounties are for bugs in the apps.

Questions.
What wallet do I need?
Any Ethereum wallet that receives USDC on Arbitrum: Bron, MetaMask, Trust or another. You only paste its address in the app, no signature and no wallet connection, and payouts arrive there as USDC. How payouts work.
What exactly do I test?
Once you are admitted, the app lists the live tests: free search plus focused tests of specific features, each with its own brief and bounty. The mobile apps come first.
What is New to test?
A tab for what just shipped. When a new feature is opened to every user, it appears there with what to try, and the bot messages you. Be the first to find what is broken in it.
Do website issues count?
Yes, in a tab of their own: typos, broken links and layout on the app's website, help center and academy pay a flat $1 per accepted report. The rising bounties are for bugs in the apps.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. You test on devices you already own, and payouts cost you nothing.
Can I report UX problems?
Yes. Switch the report to UX: a confusing flow, unclear wording, a step that trips people up. A validated UX report pays the same as a bug.
How fast do I get paid?
After validation your report joins the next payout batch, and the bot sends you the transaction link.
Why is the ceiling $10?
It is the launch limit. As the program grows, the ceiling goes up; the bot will announce it.
Why does the price drop?
Because someone filed a report in that test. Its clock goes back to $1 and climbs again, $1 for every 4 hours nobody reports.
What if my report is rejected?
No payout, and the bot tells you why. Repeated low-quality reports can get you removed; good reports build reputation.
How do I reach a person?
Write to @tapqa_bot in Telegram. Every message reaches the team, and we answer right there within 48 hours on business days.
Can I test on several devices?
Yes. Your Telegram account is your identity, not your device, and each report is tagged with the device it was found on.
