π¨ Attention Everyone!π¨
The Open Source Software Pot is now in the Challenge Period.
If you suspect any bot or fraudulent activity that might have slipped past our radar, you have the opportunity to make an on-chain challenge. Hereβs how it works:
1. Submit Evidence: Provide clear evidence of any suspicious activity.
2. On-Chain Challenge: Make your challenge on-chain with the provided evidence (if based on suspected bots, show stamps as evidence and respective scores)
3. Review by Chefs: The Chef / Round Managers will review all challenges and evidence submitted.
4. Processing Payouts: Payouts will only be processed after all challenges are addressed. If any new payouts need to be recalculated, another challenge period will be triggered as per the contract.
Your vigilance is key to keeping things fair and transparent. Thanks for your help!
