# Payouts

At CodeCall, we ensure that participants are fairly compensated for their contributions based on the type, quality, and impact of their work.

### Payment Method

* **Currency:** Payouts are done in USDC (USD Coin), a stablecoin that ensures value stability.
* **Withdrawal Options:** You can choose to withdraw your USDC using MoonPay or other supported methods.
* **Tax Responsibilities:** Participants are responsible for handling their own tax obligations related to their earnings.

### Transfer Options

**Wallet Transfers:** You have the option to transfer your earnings to another wallet such as metamask. Ensure you double-check the wallet address to prevent any loss of funds.

### Payout Criteria

Payouts are awarded based on the number and quality of contributions. Here is how the payout structure works:

* **Contribution Type:**
  * **Bugs:** Identifying and fixing critical bugs are highly valued and therefore receive higher payouts.
  * **Features:** Implementing new features that align with project requirements and add significant value are rewarded generously.
  * **Optimizations:** While optimizations are important, they generally receive lower payouts compared to bugs and features unless they result in substantial performance improvements.
* **Quality and Impact:**
  * **Above and Beyond:** Contributions that exceed the basic requirements and align closely with the goals of the company are eligible for higher payouts. For instance, a feature implementation that not only meets the specified requirements but also enhances user experience or performance will be rewarded more.
  * **Thoroughness:** Detailed submissions with comprehensive documentation and clear explanations are valued higher.
  * **Innovation:** Unique solutions that demonstrate creativity and innovation are rewarded to encourage out-of-the-box thinking.

### Example of Payouts

* **High-Priority Bug Fix:** A critical security vulnerability that is fixed promptly may receive a higher payout due to its importance.
* **Feature Development:** Developing a complex new feature that significantly enhances the platform could earn a substantial reward.
* **Optimization:** Improving the efficiency of a core algorithm might receive a moderate payout unless it drastically enhances performance, in which case it could be higher.

### Payouts for multiple tasks

If a project has multiple tasks, for example 10 and you do 2 of them and your contribution is approved over someone another engineer, then you get paid for those 2 tasks. In addition, if another engineer is working on task 3, as you are also and his contribution get approved over yours, they will get paid for task 3 and you will still get paid for your 2 tasks that you were approved on.

By adhering to these criteria, we ensure that participants are fairly compensated for their valuable contributions, promoting a high standard of work and fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.
