# Bid Functions

## bid

After the Bid is posted, anyone can accept the Bid and complete the curation. After a certain period of time, the curation effectiveness is calculated, and the Curator with the best effectiveness can claim the reward. In Open Curation, the curation method is fixed as Quote Post. The curation effectiveness is calculated by summing the number of comments and mirrors received by the Curator's Quote Post.

`function bid( BidData calldata vars, DataTypes.MerkleVerifyData calldata verifyData ) external payable nonReentrant onlyWhitelisted(verifyData)`
