Fund the Open Source You Depend On
SW Foundation connects donors with open-source developers. Every contribution is tracked on the blockchain and goes directly to building the software you use.
How It Works
Projects Set Goals
Open-source maintainers list features they need funding for — with clear cost estimates and delivery timelines.
You Fund What Matters
Choose a goal and send USDT to a unique wallet address. Your payment is detected automatically and verified on the blockchain.
Software Gets Built & Promoted
Developers build the feature. Part of your contribution funds advertising campaigns to help the project reach more users.
