# Bounty Winners In Sandbox

Overview

This procedure outlines the steps to manually select bounty winners when the automated platform transaction fails on the blockchain. The process uses the Stacks Explorer Sandbox to directly call smart contract functions.

***

### Prerequisites

Before beginning this procedure, ensure you have:

* Access to Stacks Explorer (explorer.hiro.so)
* Administrative access to the bounty smart contract
* The failed transaction details and winner addresses
* STX wallet connected with sufficient gas fees

***

### Step-by-Step Procedure

#### Step 1: Access Stacks Explorer Sandbox

1. Navigate to **Stacks Explorer Sandbox** `ZADAO-V2-MultiW-Bounty`
2. **Log in** to your account with administrative privileges
3. Ensure your STX wallet is connected and has sufficient balance for transaction fees

#### Step 2: Locate Failed Transaction Details

1. Navigate to the failed transaction:
   * Transaction ID: `0xba6cf…a9cb6`
2. **Extract the following information** from the failed `accept-submissions` transaction:
   * `bounty_id`
   * `used_token`
   * `winners` (list of STX addresses)

#### Step 3: Prepare Winner Addresses

From the failed transaction, the following addresses have been identified as winners:

#### Step 4: Execute Smart Contract Function in the Sandbox

1. In the **Sandbox interface**, locate the bounty smart contract
2. Find the **winner selection function** (likely `select-winners` or `distribute-bounty`)
3. **Input the required parameters**:
   * **Bounty ID**: Enter the `bounty_id` from the failed transaction
   * **Token**: Specify the `used_token` value
   * **Winners**: Enter each winner address individually in the provided input fields

#### Step 5: Submit Transaction

1. **Review all entered data** for accuracy
2. **Check gas fee estimation** and ensure sufficient STX balance
3. **Submit the transaction** through the sandbox interface
4. **Wait for confirmation** on the blockchain (typically 1-10 minutes)

#### Step 6: Verification

1. **Monitor the transaction status** in the Stacks Explorer
2. **Verify successful execution** by checking:
   * Transaction status shows as "Success"
   * Winner addresses received their bounty tokens
   * Bounty status updated to "Completed"
3. **Document the successful transaction hash** for record-keeping

***

### Troubleshooting

#### Common Issues and Solutions

**Transaction Fails Again**:

* Check gas fee allocation
* Verify all addresses are valid STX addresses
* Ensure bounty contract has sufficient token balance

**Input Field Limitations**:

* If sandbox limits winner count, submit multiple smaller transactions
* Process winners in batches if necessary

**Access Issues**:

* Verify administrative privileges on the smart contract
* Ensure wallet connection is stable

***

### Post-Completion Actions

1. **Notify all winners** of successful token distribution
2. **Update internal records** with the new transaction hash
3. **Archive documentation** of the manual intervention
4. **Review platform code** to prevent similar failures in future bounties
5. **Monitor winner wallets** to confirm token receipt

***

### Security Notes

* Always verify addresses before submitting transactions
* Double-check bounty ID and token parameters
* Use testnet for testing if available
* Keep transaction records for audit purposes
* Only authorized personnel should execute these procedures

***

### Screenshot

* To get the bounty\_id and token, go back to the `accept-submissions` transaction&#x20;
* Add list item, and add all of the wallet addresses from `accept-submissions`
* Then call function&#x20;
