# Earning with Replit Bounties

> Bounties on Replit allow you to request and pay for coding tasks or project work using a platform-specific currency called Cycles. When you have a specific need—such as developing a new product, needing coding help for a personal project, or requiring API integration—you can create a Bounty. This acts as a job posting that other members, known as Bounty Hunters, can accept to complete the specified task.

<Note>
  The Bounties program is deprecated. Replit is no longer accepting applications for Bounty Hunter.
</Note>

If you're interested in building projects and earning Cycles while doing it, you're in for a treat with Bounties.

## Browse Bounties

Each posted Bounty includes a reward in Cycles for successful completion and a description of the work they need.

## Apply to work on a Bounty

Once you find a Bounty you're interested in, select the "Apply to Work" button in the upper-right corner.

### Tips for Applying

The best Bounty applications explain to the Poster why you're a good fit for the job and include examples of your past work. Here are some additional tips for creating a quality application:

Here are some other tips on how to create a quality application:

* Add links to your GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, or other social profiles to your Replit account. These links will also appear in your Bounty applications.
* Consider using a professional headshot as your Replit profile picture.
* If you'd like to start your Bounty application with a greeting, you can say something like `Hello [username]...` or `Hello, my name is [your first name]...`
* Include links to relevant projects in your application, such as a Replit App, GitHub repo, or hosted project.
* Describe the initial 1-2 milestones you plan to accomplish once accepted. This shows the Bounty Poster that you understand their problem and the technical requirements.
* If possible, provide time estimates for completing certain parts of the Bounty after you're accepted.

Here's an example application for a Bounty to create a space invaders game:
