A quest is a structured developer challenge with a clear goal and a valuable learning opportunity. Quests engage developers and contributors in meaningful tasks such as fixing issues, building demos, creating tutorials, or stress-testing new releases.
In Quira, developers earn rewards for completing quests. These rewards can include cash, swag, digital badges, or even work opportunities.
Quira offers two main types of quests: Solver Quests and Creator Quests.
Solver Quests reward contributors for solving open GitHub issues. They help maintainers distribute work across the open-source ecosystem and foster sustainable communities around their code.
Creator Quests are asynchronous, hackathon-style challenges that guide developers through a structured journey of discovery, learning, and adoption. Designed to introduce new technologies, they provide a clear path for developers to build and share open-source projects.
Quira is designed for companies building developer-facing products that want to expand their reach, create flywheels in open source, and actively engage developer communities.
The free tier lets you create unlimited Solver Quests (bounties on GitHub issues) and reward them with either cash or digital badges. If you choose digital badges, we’ll design one for you at no extra cost.
For cash rewards, we charge no platform fees—just transaction fees: 6% if paid via GitHub Sponsors or 7% if paid via Tremendous. Creator Quests are not included in the free tier.
We want Quira to be a streamlined and hassle-free platform for community building.
For Solver Quests, we handle badge design and payments, but you’ll still manage issue creation, reviews, and merges—just like in a standard contribution process.
For Creator Quests, we take care of everything: designing the challenge, scoring submissions, managing payments, addressing community questions, and even printing and shipping swag rewards if applicable.
Yes, but since Solver Quests allow your organization to pay contributors, we still need to approve access. In some cases, a short KYC process may be required for compliance reasons.
We’ll fast-track approval for organizations with a proven track record on GitHub or those showing strong intent to build a great community, such as new startups or developer tools.
