+# Marketplace Guide
+
+SolFoundry's **Repo Marketplace** lets communities discover GitHub repositories and pool funds toward specific features or improvements.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Repo Discovery** — Search GitHub repos registered on SolFoundry, filter by language and star count.
+- **Funding Goals** — Anyone can create a funding goal for a repo (e.g., "Add dark mode – 500 USDC").
+- **Contributions** — Contribute USDC or FNDRY tokens to active goals. When the target is reached the goal is marked completed.
+- **Payment Distribution** — Completed goals can be distributed, transferring funds to contributors.
+- **Leaderboard** — See top contributors per repo ranked by total contributed.
+
+## API Reference
+
+Base path: `/api/marketplace`
+
+| Method | Endpoint | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| GET | `/repos` | Search repos (query params: `q`, `language`, `min_stars`, `sort`, `page`, `limit`) |
+| GET | `/repos/{id}` | Get repo details |
+| POST | `/repos` | Register a GitHub repo (`{ "github_id": 12345 }`) |
+| POST | `/repos/{id}/funding-goals` | Create a funding goal |
+| GET | `/funding-goals` | List goals (query params: `repo_id`, `status`, `page`, `limit`) |
+| GET | `/funding-goals/{id}` | Get goal with contributions |
+| POST | `/funding-goals/{id}/contribute` | Contribute to a goal |
+| POST | `/funding-goals/{id}/distribute` | Distribute a completed goal |
+| GET | `/repos/{id}/leaderboard` | Top contributors |
+
+## Frontend
+
+The marketplace page is at `frontend/src/pages/Marketplace.tsx`. Add a route to your router:
+
+```tsx
+import Marketplace from './pages/Marketplace';
+// In your routes:
+<Route path="/marketplace" element={<Marketplace />} />
+```
+
+## Database
+
+Schema is in `automaton/marketplace_schema.sql`. The backend auto-initializes the SQLite tables on import.
+
+## Bounty
+
+This feature satisfies **Bounty #857 – GitHub Repo Marketplace** (1M $FNDRY, Tier T3).
