It's becoming more harder for new projects team to keep their promises to bounty hunters, some even said bounty hunters are getting free tokens for free, meaning bounty hunters aren't recognized for their work, I suggest all bounty managers to start using ESCROW.
I believe with escrow payment will be guaranteed, team won't be able to go back on their words, bitwings for example, after a complete year of waiting for payment they decide to do another audit on spreadsheet and they falsely accused bounty hunters without any proof.
Bounty Detective is the only bounty manager using escrow, if many bounty managers start using escrow it will be better.
I've known a bounty manager named Julerz who is definitely using a trusted escrow for guaranteeing payments to the hunters. I think honestly that a legit escrow had a huge advantage for both parties, making sure that everything is settled and accomplished in a right way.
Like there are some bounty managers out there who had no guarantee of their trust. The project would allocate tokens to them for distribution, but there's a chance that they would run away with that. For me, I think escrow is really necessary for bounty distribution.
