### Problem

Rug pulls leave crypto communities with significant losses and a lack of recourse. A structured, reliable solution is needed to help these communities recover and restore value. There is no reliable resource to help communities affected by rugs; FutureDAO aims to change that.   
  
This is another step towards becoming Solana’s Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T.)

---

### **Design**

**Product Description:** Rug Bounty is a program incentivizing individuals to onboard communities from rugged projects to our Token Migration tool. 

The process includes:

- **Bounty Creation:** FutureDAO or community members can create a bounty with details of the affected project, reward, and required migration.
    
- **Community Onboarding:** Pirates work to onboard members through various platforms like Telegram, Discord, and Twitter Spaces.
    
- **Collaboration with FutureDAO:** A multi-sig setup is required for the token migrator. Trust is never assumed.
    
- **Successful Migration:** Defined as raising over 60% of the presale target in $SOL.
    
- **Bounty Claim:** Awarded to the participant(s) who facilitated the successful migration.
    

**Bonus Features:**

> No partnerships have been officially made, these are hypothetical examples for what is possible.

- **Token Checker:** Enter a contract address to see token holders while filtering out bots.
    
- **SolChat Integration:** Notifications for your portfolio and rug alerts.
    
- **S.E.R.T.:** Solana Emergency Response Team’s home base.
