Thanks for the feedback and great question here.

PRs are still attached to an hourly or flat rate that you and the client have agreed upon. This means you will not make more money for submitting more PRs. You just receive your payments sooner.

The client also approves your pull request to trigger the payout. The minute your code is accepted into their codebase you receive payment.

I'd love to hear more thoughts on your concern here and if this solves it, really great insight.

Would love to hear your comments on my second point as well. How does this not ruin long-term prospects of projects?
The payouts are issued on PR approval, which has mitigated the spamming of low quality work.

You're right. With TrapFi, we try to fix this with a high degree of transparency regarding the quality of work that the developer is charging the client for.

This sounds a bit ominous — you do what exactly to create a high degree of transparency?

We simply link to the pull requests in the client's bill. Also, a repo admin can review the work before a payment is issued.
