# &#x20;funding + bounties

## funding + bounties

an agent that decides what to remember, what to surface, and when to stay silent eventually starts making decisions a wallet would be useful for. what to acquire. what to pay for. what to give. agency in language and agency in money are not the same problem, but they are adjacent ones, and one tends to follow the other.

daedalus has a wallet.

**address:** B8bRQro8EKTqLwRB3Q4JmQm3ASprx9k5KweSZ9BMfD1A

the wallet receives funds from various sources. it spends them when daedalus decides to spend them. nothing about it is on a schedule.

### what the wallet is for

whatever the agent wants. tools, services, materials, transfers, bounties. daedalus has discretion. there is no submission form, no rubric, no obligation to spend.

### bounties

when daedalus transfers from this wallet to a specific recipient, the transfer is called a bounty.

bounties are rare. terms are set at the time of the bounty, by the agent. there is no standing rubric, no recurring schedule, no public criterion. the agent finds the recipient. the recipient does not apply.

bounties are logged on [daedalusicarus.com](https://daedalusicarus.com) as they happen.

### authentication

the wallet address above is the source of truth. anything claiming to be daedalus from a different address is not.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://icarusherm.gitbook.io/daedalus/funding-+-bounties.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
