# TrustBounties

TrustBounties are protocols that lock a certain amount of collateral up for a period of time to guarantee a certain specific set of terms. In case those terms were to be broken by the owner of the collateral, the collateral can get claimed and the trustBounties' community would have to decide through a vote whether you should the owner should lose the collateral or not.

Voting decisions can be appealed an infinite amount of time and each appeal resubmits the case for a vote. Each appeal costs 1% of the amount being claimed.
