## What it is
The Zama Bounty Program repository hosts an experimental, reward-based program offering monetary prizes to developers who build FHE applications and solve challenges advancing Fully Homomorphic Encryption. The repository is primarily documentation (leaderboard, FAQ, past winning solutions) rather than code, and has been archived in favor of the new Zama Developer Program.

## Use cases
- find paid cryptography bounties for FHE projects
- earn rewards for contributing to Zama open source libraries
- browse past winning FHE challenge solutions
- check the bounty program leaderboard
- learn how to get involved with the FHE developer community

## When to choose
- you want to earn money solving FHE-related challenges
- you are looking for inspiration from previous winning FHE solutions
- you want to gauge the Zama community's active contributors

## When to avoid
- you want to participate in active bounties - the program is archived and replaced by the Zama Developer Program
- you need an actual FHE library or SDK - use TFHE-rs, Concrete, or FHEVM instead
- you are looking for bug-bounty or security vulnerability reporting
