Why FlowVault?

Most financial applications only move money.

FlowVault enables developers to define how money behaves after deposit.

Builders can combine time-locks, routing rules, treasury allocations, automated payouts, reserve systems, and programmable asset flows to create entirely new financial products on Stacks. The purpose of this bounty is to explore and validate these new financial behaviors through real applications.

Time-Locks & Escrow

Define precise unlock schedules and condition-based release rules for assets.

Treasury & Revenue Splits

Route funds automatically between team members, community pools, and operational reserves.

Automated Payouts

Create event-triggered money flows for freelancer payouts, DAO routing, or AI agents.

Build New Financial Behaviors

We are especially interested in applications that introduce entirely new financial behaviors rather than simply replicating existing payment flows.

Payroll & Compensation

Examples:

  • Freelancer payouts
  • Contributor distributions
  • Startup payroll routing
  • Salary auto-allocation

Goal-Based Savings

Examples:

  • Savings challenges
  • Locked reserves
  • Group savings
  • Milestone unlocks

Treasury Automation

Examples:

  • DAO treasury routing
  • Operational budgets
  • Reserve allocation
  • Emergency funds

Creator Revenue Flows

Examples:

  • Revenue sharing
  • Affiliate distributions
  • Community rewards
  • Subscription reserves
⭐ High Innovation Potential

Experimental Money Behaviors

Examples:

  • AI treasury agents
  • Event-triggered unlocks
  • Community vaults
  • Reputation-based payouts
  • Prediction market treasury routing
  • Subscription reserve systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build solo?

Yes. Both individual developers and teams are fully eligible to participate.

Can teams participate?

Yes. You can form teams and collaborate. Prizes will be sent to the registered team wallet.

Can I use AI tools?

Yes. We encourage using AI tools for productivity, but your logic and integration must be original and functional.

Must I deploy on mainnet?

No. Stacks Testnet deployments are fully accepted and evaluated equally.

Can I build something not listed in the examples?

Yes. We highly encourage original concepts outside the provided list.

Do I need to integrate FlowVault?
