Create tasks with ADA rewards, publish them on-chain, and track contributor progress

Task Management

Every task on Andamio is a piece of work with an ADA reward attached. You create tasks as drafts, publish them on-chain (which locks the reward ADA in the treasury), and contributors commit to them. When you accept a contributor's submission, the reward is distributed automatically.

A task moves through these states:

Draft → Available → In Progress → Pending Review → Accepted / Refused / Denied

You manage drafts and live tasks from the Tasks tab. Publishing happens through the Treasury Management page. Reviewing submissions happens through the Assessment Workflow.

Creating a Task

From the Tasks tab, click Create Task.

The Create Task form showing all fields: Title, Reward Amount, Expiration Date, Pre-assign to, Description, and the Detailed Content rich text editor.

Fill in the required fields:

Title — what contributors see in the task list. Max 100 characters (140 on-chain).
Reward Amount — the ADA locked in treasury and paid on acceptance. Minimum 1 ADA.
Expiration Date — after this date, no new commitments are accepted and Deny becomes available for existing submissions.

Optional fields:

Description — a short summary visible in listings.
Detailed Content — the full task brief. The rich text editor supports headings, lists, and links. Use it to spell out deliverables and what evidence to submit.
Pre-assigned Alias — targets the task to one specific contributor. Leave empty to open it to anyone who meets the project prerequisites.

Click Save Changes to save the draft.

Managing Drafts

The Tasks tab shows your draft and live tasks in two separate tables. Drafts have an orange DRAFT badge.

The Tasks management page showing the Draft Tasks table with five draft tasks, each with title, reward amount, DRAFT status badge, and edit/delete action icons. Below it, the Live Tasks table shows seven published tasks with Available status.

You can edit (pencil icon) or delete (trash icon) any draft. Deleting is permanent.

Once a task is published on-chain, it cannot be edited. Review your task content carefully while it's still a draft.

The stats row at the top shows counts for Draft Tasks, Live Tasks, and On-Chain Tasks (all-time published). Filter chips above the tables let you narrow the view by status.

The Tasks tab showing the Draft Tasks header, stats row with three metric cards, and action buttons for Create Task, Manage Tasks, and Manage Treasury.

Publishing Tasks On-Chain

Publishing moves drafts on-chain, locks their reward ADA in the treasury, and makes them available to contributors. The full publishing flow is covered in the Treasury Management guide, but here's the short version:

Click Manage Treasury (from the Overview tab or Tasks tab)
Switch to the Add to Treasury tab
Select the drafts you want to publish
Review the Transaction Summary — it shows total rewards, treasury balance, and any additional ADA needed from your wallet
Click Publish Tasks and sign the transaction

After blockchain confirmation, the tasks become Available and contributors who meet the project prerequisites can commit to them.

Task Lifecycle

Once published, tasks move through states based on contributor and manager actions.

The full review page showing task lifecycle states. The left panel lists submissions with status badges, and the right panel shows a selected task in "Pending Review" state with submitted evidence and assessment decision buttons.

State	What's happening	What happens next
Draft	Created in the platform. Editable.	Publish via Treasury Management → Available
Available	Live on-chain, open for contributors	Contributor commits → In Progress
In Progress	A contributor is working on it	Contributor submits evidence → Pending Review
Pending Review	Submission received, waiting for you	You accept, refuse, or deny
Accepted	Work approved, reward sent to contributor	Done
Refused	Sent back for revision	Contributor resubmits → Pending Review
Denied	Permanently rejected	Done — reward returns to treasury
Expired	Past expiration date, no accepted submission	Remove from treasury to reclaim ADA
Cancelled	Removed from treasury by admin	Done — ADA returned

Three things to know about these decisions:

Accept is irreversible. It triggers automatic reward distribution to the contributor's wallet.

Refuse is recoverable — the contributor can revise and resubmit.
Deny is irreversible and only becomes available after the task's expiration date. This prevents premature permanent rejection.
Expired tasks still hold locked ADA in the treasury until you explicitly remove them through Treasury Management.

Monitoring Live Tasks

The bottom half of the Tasks tab shows all published tasks and their current lifecycle state.

The full Tasks page showing both Draft Tasks and Live Tasks tables. The Live Tasks section displays seven available tasks with columns for Title, Contributor, Reward, and Lifecycle status. Filter chips at the top show "All (7)" and "Available (7)".

Filter by lifecycle state using the chips at the top: All, Available, In Progress, Pending Review, Accepted. Click column headers to sort.

The main thing to watch for: Pending Review badges mean a contributor is waiting on you. Click through to review their submission in the Assessment Workflow.

Expired and cancelled tasks appear in a separate "Other Tasks" section below the live table.
