This is the only part of 9Forum where money is the subject. It works because it stays inside these rules. The full version is in the [Global Principles](https://www.9forum.org/guidelines), under _Money, markets and crypto_.
**Three rooms, three purposes**
- [Bounties & Grants](https://www.9forum.org/c/rewards-market/bounties-grants/37) — paid work and funding.
- [Campaigns](https://www.9forum.org/c/rewards-market/campaigns/38) — time-limited efforts with published rules and dates.
- [Market](https://www.9forum.org/c/rewards-market/market/39) — price, charts and trading. **Only here.** A price post anywhere else on 9Forum gets moved here.
**A bounty post must say**
1. The task, clearly enough to know when it is done.
2. The reward, and in what form.
3. Who decides whether it is done.
4. The deadline.
If a reward is later changed or cancelled, that goes in the same topic. Silence is how trust dies.
**Always required**
- **Disclose your stake** in whatever you post about.
- **Paid posts carry the Sponsored label** , including posts from the team and from partners.
- **Analysis, not instructions.** Nothing here is financial advice.
**Never allowed**
Promised or “guaranteed” returns, coordinating to move a price, asking anyone to send funds to a personal address, wallet-connect or claim links, and reselling what is free here.
**One more thing: contribution points are not earned in Market.** Nobody rises on 9Forum by posting about price. Standing comes from helping people understand, build and decide.
