About the Best PR Initiative

Our Best PR Initiative is a quarterly challenge designed to spark fresh, high-impact pull request contributions to our open-source projects. Beginning in Q2 2025, only new and merged submissions made during each quarter will be considered. View our roadmap & tech backlog here.

What’s it in for you?

• Drive Innovation: Contribute improvements that enhance our codebase.
• Earn Recognition: Get acknowledged for quality work that matters.
• Collect Rewards: Enjoy rewards in various forms (not limited to tokens). The best PR will receive $500 regardless.
• Join a Growing Community: Collaborate with other developers and help shape our ecosystem.
