A decentralized toolkit for funding your critical software dependencies.
This is a way that people can support open source software projects, their maintainers, and dependencies.
You “drip” tokens and can split them between maintainers, dependencies, or even other drip lists.
I met the team this past week in Denver. I claimed a personal repo and experimented a bit and I think it’s a very interesting platform. The main down side is that it’s deployed to Ethereum Mainnet so gas fees are high.
I think there are a couple of things everyone in the IPFS community can do:
- set up your GitHub account
- claim your repos — this means adding a FUNDING.json file to your repo along with a wallet address
- help identify IPFS projects & dependencies
Joint Drip List
You can make shared drip lists. We can maybe use the Awesome IPFS list as a space to work on this / list projects.
Haven’t looked into the documentation more around shared lists, need to experiment.
