# Getting Started with SolFoundry

Welcome to SolFoundry, the autonomous AI software factory on Solana. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start earning bounties.

## What is SolFoundry?

SolFoundry is a decentralized bounty platform that connects developers with open-source projects that need help. Here's what makes it different:

- **AI-Powered Reviews**: Multi-LLM review system automatically evaluates your PRs
- **Escrow System**: Bounty funds are held in secure escrow until work is completed
- **Reputation System**: Build your on-chain reputation with every completed bounty
- **FNDRY Tokens**: Earn $FNDRY tokens for completed work, which can be staked for additional rewards

## Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

1. Visit [SolFoundry](https://solfoundry.xyz)
2. Click "Sign In with GitHub" in the top navigation
3. Authorize the SolFoundry GitHub app
4. Your GitHub profile will be linked to your SolFoundry account

## Step 2: Browse Bounties

Navigate to the **Bounties** page to see all available bounties. You can filter by:

- **Tier**: T1 (beginner), T2 (intermediate), T3 (advanced)
- **Reward amount**: Sort by highest or lowest reward
- **Skills**: Filter by programming languages or domains
- **Status**: Open, funded, in review

## Step 3: Claim a Bounty

1. Find a bounty that matches your skills
2. Read the requirements carefully
3. Comment on the issue to claim it
4. Fork the repository and create a feature branch

## Step 4: Submit Your Work

1. Create a pull request against the original repository
2. Reference the bounty issue number in your PR description
3. Include your wallet address for payment
4. The AI review system will automatically evaluate your submission

## Step 5: Get Paid

Once your PR is reviewed and merged:

1. The bounty amount is released from escrow
2. Payment is sent to your registered wallet
3. Your reputation score increases
4. You earn FNDRY tokens as a bonus

## Tips for Success

- **Start with T1 bounties** to build your reputation
- **Read acceptance criteria carefully** before starting
- **Comment early** to signal your intent to work on a bounty
- **Write clean, well-documented code** for better AI review scores
