Hey everyone,
Quick update on the Eclipse Content Bounty Program since we have been getting questions across Discord, X, and DMs about where things stand.
Where we are
The submission window for Eclipse closed after the 4-week run, and reviews are now actively underway. Reviewers are working through every valid submission across all bounty categories, blog posts, videos, documentation, and code.
As a reminder, Eclipse uses an open submission model: multiple contributors can submit on the same bounty, and the strongest valid entry wins. That means reviewers aren’t just checking one entry per bounty they’re comparing entries head-to-head against the criteria laid out in the program guidelines (compilation, originality, accuracy, completeness, and overall quality).
What happens next
- Reviewers complete their evaluation per bounty.
- Results are collated across the review team.
- We publish a public announcement with the winners per bounty.
- Winners receive claim instructions directly, with payout details.
I’ll share the next status update later next week so everyone has visibility into progress. After that, expect a full announcement once the review is wrapped and results are finalized.
A few things worth repeating
- If your submission included Compact code that didn’t compile, or was flagged for AI-generated content, it won’t move forward, these were called out as hard disqualifiers in the program guidelines.
- Eclipse uses a single review cycle. We’re not doing multiple rounds of back-and-forth — reviewers evaluate what was submitted by the deadline.
- Not winning a specific bounty doesn’t mean your work wasn’t valuable. We’ll share aggregate learnings after the round closes, and Round 3 will follow.
Questions?
Drop them in this thread and I’ll respond here so the whole community sees the answers. I’d rather we have one canonical place for status updates than scattered replies across DMs.
Thanks for the patience and for the work you put in, the volume and quality this round has been genuinely impressive.
