About Forke

What is Forke?

Forke is a bounty marketplace where developers claim scoped bounties from startups, ship fixes, and cash out to UPI.

What Forke does

The platform connects startup owners with developers to solve scoped coding tasks ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Task owners deposit bounty funds into escrow before work begins. Forke screens pull requests through a four-layer pipeline combining automated builds, tests, security scans, and an AI verdict card. Once the owner approves the verdict, Forke merges the pull request and releases instant payouts to UPI.

How Forke works

Founders post scoped bug fixes or features with escrowed bounties. Developers browse tasks matching their level and claim a task, which locks it for 20 minutes to activate. Developers write code in dedicated Forke branches and submit a pull request. Automated checks and AI reviews generate a plain-English verdict card for the owner. When approved, Forke merges the pull request and releases escrow funds straight to the developer's UPI.
