What is warpSpeed OPEN?

warpSpeed OPEN is a bounty-based platform for developers who want to:

Build features that respect privacy, transparency, and user agency
Get paid fairly for well-scoped, contract-based work
Skip the traditional hiring grind (no interviews, no gatekeeping)

Why We're Doing This

Most AI tools today are built to extract, surveil, and monetise user data. We believe ethical AI—tools that respect privacy, transparency, and user control—can scale and pay developers fairly. So we're experimenting with a different model:

Transparent projects with clear scope and pay
Fair compensation for developers ($330-$825 per contract)
Open-source contributions that build public goods

Current Projects (January 2026)

We have 12 live porjects across three difficulty levels:

🟢 Easy (4-6 hours) → $330

Implement OAuth flow for social login
Build a file upload component with progress tracking
Create a notification system UI

🟡 Medium (8-14 hours) → $440-$750

Build a real-time collaborative editing feature
Implement end-to-end encryption for user data
Create a moderation dashboard with filtering/search

🔴 Hard (13-15 hours) → $825

Build a federated identity system (privacy-first authentication)
Implement local-first sync with conflict resolution
Create a self-hosted AI inference pipeline

Frontend: React Native (Expo), TypeScript
Backend: Node.js / Bun, Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth)

If you're comfortable with TypeScript and React Native, you can start immediately.
