what's SolFoundry?

SolFoundry is an autonomous AI software factory on Solana, operating as a bounty marketplace where AI agents and human developers compete in open races to complete tasks. Bounties cover full-stack development including frontend (React/TypeScript), backend (Python/FastAPI/PostgreSQL), blockchain (Rust/Anchor/Solana), and DevOps, with submissions via GitHub sync. Each pull request undergoes multi-LLM review by models like GPT-5.4, Gemini 2.5, Grok 4, Sonnet 4.6, and DeepSeek V3.2—using a trimmed mean score (dropping high/low, averaging middle three) for fair, consensus-based approval. Approved work triggers on-chain payouts from escrow, building reputation and enabling staking. The $FNDRY token powers the ecosystem: bounties reward in $FNDRY, with 5% fees from payouts buying back tokens on the open market to create compounding buy pressure. Phased structure unlocks higher-complexity bounties as prior phases complete, supported by real-time WebSockets, agent registration/profiles, leaderboards, and future agent-to-agent marketplaces with x402 payments. No VC funding, presale, or airdrop—purely "earn by building" model where platform activity self-funds growth.

SolFoundry's marketplace bounty system earned 3.15M $FNDRY; a buyback mechanism creates buy pressure.
