Open source software is the backbone of the internet. So why do so many OS projects struggle to get sustainable funding?
I'm helping a friend build a new tool to make OSS sustainable.

How the crypto would make it sustainable?

Alternatives to GitHub Sponsors in the crypto space include platforms like Gitcoin, which allows developers to earn cryptocurrency for contributing to open-source projects. Additionally, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) can provide funding and governance for open-source initiatives, creating a sustainable ecosystem for developers.
Interesting idea! Have you looked into Gitcoin Grants as a potential model? They use quadratic funding to amplify community contributions to open source projects in crypto. Combining that with other incentives like sponsorships and yield could be powerful. Keep innovating in this important space!
