Open-Source-Economy
The platform reconciling open-source values with sustainable funding
An economy tailored for open-source
-
Contributors get compensated
Are you currently volunteering for an open-source project? That is admirable, but that will not pay your rent or your food.
-
Users can influence the development
Do you know the pain of wanting a new feature, an issue fixed, or a review and no one to develop or review it?
-
New asset class for investors
What about being able to invest in the success of the most prominent open-source projects?

Projects get substantial funding
Imagine how the world would be if opensource would get the same funding as closed source.
How does Open-Souce Economy work?
One token per project
Each project has its own token. Our aim is to establish a direct link between the token price and the project user adoption (even if the project doesn't generate direct revenues).
A Marketplace
Where projects’ stakeholders and financial backers can connect. Developed in a fully open-source, decentralized, and democratic way with the Open Source Economy principles.
Freedom is key
Contributors do not have to address the user’s problems, and users do not need permission from contributors to proceed. Therefore users have to find the right token amount to motivate contributors.
Get rewards for contributing
On each project issue or pull request, some project tokens are offered as a bounty to resolve it and/or review it. It could come from the project’s DAO or users that want their problem fixed.
Influence the development
Users can buy the project’s tokens and offer them as a bounty on an issue or a pull request to incentivize contributors to address it. Other users can also contribute tokens to increase the bounty.
Sustainable tokenomics
Each token is backed by real revenue streams and driven by genuine user demand. Say goodbye to speculative hype and hello to tokens that aligns financial incentives with sustainable growth.
