Data Bounty Board Overview
Decentralized data bounty board connecting businesses with verified contributors for AI training, research, and analytics.
What is the Data Bounty Board?
The PRIV Data Bounty Board is a decentralized platform where businesses can post bounties for custom datasets directly from verified contributors. Unlike traditional data brokers, the Bounty Board ensures transparent pricing, stake-backed QA, and fair compensation for contributors.

Platform Security
The Data Bounty Board includes multiple security measures:
- File hashing - SHA-256 hashes prevent duplicate submissions
- IPFS storage - Decentralized, tamper-proof content storage
- Approver voting consensus - Staked approvers verify high-value submissions (3-vote quorum, 66.67% agreement)
- Fraud detection - Automated systems flag suspicious activity
- Wallet blacklisting - Bad actors are permanently blocked
AI Agent Integration
AI agents can interact with the Bounty Board programmatically via the PRIV MCP server:
- Browse bounties —
browse_bountiestool discovers open requests - Post bounties —
fund_bountytool creates and funds bounties (Phase 2) - Review submissions —
review_submissiontool for approver agents (Phase 3)
This means businesses can deploy AI agents that automatically find and purchase the exact data they need — no manual procurement required.
See the MCP Server documentation for setup instructions.
