How It Works

For Donors

Step 1: Browse Projects

Visit our projects page to see open-source projects with active funding goals.

Step 2: Choose a Goal

Every project has goals — features, infrastructure, improvements. Pick what matters to you.

Step 3: Send a Donation

Click “Fund It” on any goal. You will receive a unique wallet address. Send any amount of USDT — the payment is detected automatically within a few minutes.

Step 4: Track Progress

Watch the funding gauge fill up in real time. All payments are recorded on-chain, so you can independently verify them at any point. When a goal is fully funded, development begins.

Where Your Money Goes

For every donation:

Most goes directly to the developer building the feature
A small portion covers foundation operations (servers, payment infrastructure)
A portion is used to promote the funded project through advertising

The promotion budget accumulates per project. When it reaches a meaningful amount, we create campaigns to help the project find more users and contributors.

For Open Source Maintainers

Step 1: Apply

Step 2: List Your Project

Once approved, your project gets a page with its own wallet pool for receiving donations.

Step 3: Set Goals

Define specific goals: features to build, infrastructure costs, hardware you need. Set a target amount and delivery estimate.

Step 4: Get Funded, Build, Ship

When a goal is funded, you get paid and start building. We track commit activity and promote your project to reach new users.
