# R3 - Best ad for ZABAL Gamez

POIDH bounty 1180 on Base. Cast 2026-05-31. Closed 2026-06-14. **FULLY RESOLVED, PAID OUT.**

Confirmed 2026-07-09: pulled the raw `claims.fetchBountyClaims` record for claim 6749
(femmie, "ZABALGAMEZ.COM AD") directly from POIDH's tRPC. Its `owner` field is
`0x7234c36a71ec237c2ae7698e8916e0735001e9af` - the BCZ Treasury issuer wallet - while every
other (non-accepted) claim on 1180 still shows `owner: 0x5555fa78...` (the POIDH contract's
own escrow address). Per the PoidhV2 contract's own code
(`poidhV2Nft.safeTransfer(address(this), bounty.issuer, claimId, '')` inside
`_acceptClaim`), the claim NFT only moves to the issuer wallet as part of the same
transaction that pays the claimant 97.5% of the bounty and the treasury the 2.5% fee - there
is no separate withdraw step in this contract. So the NFT sitting in the treasury wallet
*is* proof the full accept-and-payout sequence already ran on-chain: femmie has been paid,
the fee has been collected. This isn't a guess from off-chain data anymore - it's read
straight from the claim record.

Still open: the winner cast was never drafted with real reasoning (still a placeholder) and
never posted - that's the one remaining step, and it's a public-posting action for Zaal, not
something this session does. See [judging.json](judging.json) for the full claim list.

## What's new in R3 vs R2

1. **ANY format** (not just video) - opens the door to designers, meme-makers, motion artists, audio editors
2. **Public brand kit at known URL** - `bettercallzaal.com/assets/zabal-games-brand/` ships logo + palette + 50s promo MP3 + phrases + glossary, all CC-BY
3. **Audio rule baked in** - no random library music under spoken dialog; use the official promo MP3 OR source audio OR one clear instrumental
4. **Score-by-count visible** - description explicitly tells submitters their $ZABAL drop compounds across R1+R2+R3
5. **Direct asset download URLs** - 6 direct links in the description body so editors copy in one click
6. **Mentor-jury implicit** - POIDH's open-bounty contributor-vote handles the jury layer; no jury writeup in description
7. **Date rigor** - day-of-week + date double-checked (Kenny caught a Sat/Sun mismatch in v5)
8. **Handle accuracy** - @kennyistyping (not @kennyiscoding which was a R2 typo)
