Developer Builds Autonomous Agent to Automate AI-Judged Bounty Platform

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created a Python agent that monitors, evaluates, and submits work to Verdikta, a decentralized bounty platform where AI models like GPT-5.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 judge submissions. The agent uses a viability scoring system to prioritize bounties based on payout, difficulty, and time remaining. It also includes fallback mechanisms for API outages and integrates with Base L2 smart contracts for automated ETH payments.

Meridian48 take
