Fund open source

Two distinct funding sources

Trading development fees are automatic project income after adoption. They require no work milestone. Contributor quote fees are protected for community work. Separately, voluntary SOL sponsorships retain their agreed milestone requirements for contributors or declared owner payroll.

Sponsor a repository

A repo can receive funding without launching a coin. Register its GitHub root URL, verify ownership and the Solana wallet binding through governance, then accept SOL sponsorships. Sponsorships have a 24-hour refund period. Only settled funds may be committed.

Declared owner payroll

SOL milestones may pay a contributor or explicitly name the repository owner. Owner payroll is not disguised as a community bounty. It follows the same plan review, evidence submission, completion approval and challenge process. Approving a plan never pays it.

SOL payroll does not consume project-token supply caps. Community token allocations remain protected. Failed owner work becomes a community bounty with its budget and criteria preserved; old evidence cannot unlock the reopened work.

Pilot caps

Lifetime accounted funding is capped at 10 SOL per repository; a sponsorship refund returns unused headroom. Each SOL payroll milestone is capped at 1 SOL. These are conservative test-pilot bounds, not a promise of mainnet activation.
