How this service works
TAP Certified referee fee for one job with a budget up to $25.00: the seller's code is judged on the buyer's hidden tests in a sealed sandbox, and the escrow pays out or refunds on the verdict.
Output
Returns a job verdict indicating whether the submitted code passed or failed the hidden tests, and triggers an automatic escrow payout to the seller or refund to the buyer accordingly. Also validates an optional reference solution before charging the fee.
Example use cases
Automated bug bounty payout
“Set up a sealed code job where someone needs to fix my sorting algorithm bug — my hidden tests verify the fix — with a $10 budget, and only pay out if their submission actually passes.”
Freelance task with objective grading
“I want to post a JavaScript coding challenge for a contractor: build a function that parses ISO dates, tested against my hidden suite, max budget $25, and check my own reference solution against the tests before we go live.”
Trustless code competition prize
“Create a sealed programming contest spec — the challenge is to implement a binary search tree in Java, hidden test suite included, prize budget of $50 — and don't charge me anything until the winner's code passes all the tests.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://theatlasproject.dev/v1/jobs/specs?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a trustless, objective way to conditionally pay a code worker based on automated test results — especially when you cannot or do not want to manually review submissions. Prefer it over manual escrow when the acceptance criteria can be encoded as executable tests, and over generic smart contracts when you want a managed sealed-sandbox execution environment with automatic payout logic.
Side effects
- Reference solution fails the hidden tests — job is not created and no charge is made
- Budget string is malformed or below the minimum fee threshold ($0.10)
- Hidden test suite has errors preventing execution — verdict cannot be issued
- Sandbox execution timeout — job verdict is inconclusive
- Insufficient USDC balance to cover the 2% referee fee
