Case study: how an AI jury scored and paid a Verdikta bounty (#139, 91%)
Description and use
A student earned 0.01 ETH by submitting a bio that met a public rubric on Verdikta Bounties. The AI jury evaluated the work in about four minutes, illustrating the speed and transparency of automated escrow payments.
Problem
A student needed to earn a 0.01 ETH reward by writing a personal bio that met a predefined rubric on Verdikta Bounties, an automated platform that uses AI arbiters to evaluate submissions.
Outcome
The student earned 0.01 ETH in roughly four minutes, demonstrating that a clear rubric, transparent AI evaluation, and automated escrow can deliver fast, predictable payouts for short, well‑defined tasks.
Workflow
- Create bounty with reward, threshold, rubric, and jury models.
- Submit bio through the Verdikta site at 18:06:51 UTC.
- Escrow emits evaluation request at 18:07:39 UTC (block 52303556).
- AI arbiters commit hidden answers; 4 valid reveals are required.
- Verdict written on‑chain at 18:09:11 UTC (block 52303602).
- Escrow releases payment of 0.01 ETH at 18:10 UTC (block 52303650).
Evidence
Verdikta Bounties is a site where someone posts a task with a reward in ETH. The reward is locked in a smart contract (escrow). When someone submits work, a network of AI "arbiters" scores it against a rubric, and if the score passes the threshold, the contract pays automatically.
The bounty page shows 91.0%, and the escrow recorded a score of 91 in the payment transaction.
From submission to money in the wallet: about 4 minutes.
