I have been doing bounties through the RAD program for the last few months now and have really enjoyed getting involved with Pocket. This is such an enthusiastic community and from what I have seen everyone is really keen to get more people involved through initiatives such as these.
The team at PNI are amazing when it comes to helping newcomers like myself get involved and do some real work at the protocol level. Huge shoutout to @Olshansky and @jdaugherty for being the 
s that they are.
I am excited to keep on doing work not only with bounties but also with the new GROW initiative @b3n mentioned. I would love to see more larger tasks come out as bounties. I had the opportunity to work on a few larger tasks as part of the bounty system and these taught me a lot. It is from these larger pieces of work that community members contributing to the protocol can really see where it is that they want to focus their time and energy. When we are given the chance to work on larger bodies of work we can provide more meaningful contributions, this doesn’t mean that addressing tech debt or doing smaller tasks is not meaningful. But at the core of Pocket is decentralisation. By decentralising not only the protocol team but every aspect of contribution to the project, we ensure the long-term survival of Pocket by removing its reliance on the core team at PNI (I believe they are doing great work 
). And in my opinion, this can only be achieved by getting more people working on the bigger open issues. And I think RADv2 will continue towards this goal with @b3n at the reigns.
Let’s see what bounties lie ahead
