The draft says bidding markets are left to companion extensions, and I have taken that at face value: a sealed-bid award companion that holds no task funds and returns (winner, price) for the tender’s eligibility profile to enforce.
Thread: Sealed-Bid Award Mechanism for Task Tenders (companion to ERC-8183 / 8195 / 8414)
Two things I would like to line up with 8414 rather than guess at. First, what an eligibility profile that names an award contract should carry — the tender id, or the award contract address plus taskRef? Second, slashed bonds: the companion recommends sending them to the task’s vault as an unattributed gift, which under your gift semantics would be spent on rewards before funder money. Is that the behaviour you would want, or should slashed bonds stay outside the vault?
