Lava pairs providers with applications for scalable, private, and uncensored access to Web3. Lava optimizes for high throughput and efficiency at scale, while crypto-economic incentives ensure node runners provide excellent service, always. Privacy is a core principle of the network. Our unique Application-Provider pairing mechanism ensures that state queries are optimized for privacy by design. The network aims for credible neutrality, with an open-source protocol and permissionless access. RPC service is peer-to-peer, without the need for trusted intermediaries. Applications and providers are regularly paired by service type, stake, and geography to minimize latency in response times and maximize uptime. To eliminate the cost of cross-referencing multiple providers, the protocol uses probabilistic sampling and consensus mechanisms to detect and resolve conflicts. Applications personalize service by scoring providers and optimizing across latency, availability, and data freshness.

Bountysource is the funding platform for open-source software. Users can improve the open-source projects they love by creating/collecting bounties and pledging to fundraisers. Anyone can come to Bountysource and create or claim their project's team (GitHub Organizations are automatically created as teams on Bountysource). A bounty is a cash reward offered for development. In the case of Bountysource, this ties directly to an open issue in the system. Bountysource itself is concerned. Any quality control for whether to accept a fix is the responsibility of the maintainers for the given project. This includes whether affiliation with the project counts for having the fix accepted or not.
