+
+**Resources**
+
+A list of potentially-useful resources. This list should be less than 5 total resources. 
+
+**Criteria**
+
+Bounties will be rewarded based on the following criteria:
+
+1. Correctness and security: A thorough review of the implementation should convince our team that they are correct and secure, with all requirements met.
+2. Code clarity and quality: Succinct, easy-to-follow code with appropriate naming conventions. Utilize Rust’s type system for flexibility and security (e.g., compile-time checks where possible), and avoid external crates. Optimizations should be a lower priority than clarity, but can be included behind a feature flag as a bonus.
+3. Documentation quality: Provide comprehensive README’s, Cargo docs, and inline comments where code itself is not self-explanatory. Prioritize clarity and readability.
