LLMs generate infinite code. Human attention is finite. The signal-to-noise ratio in Open Source is trending to zero. We built a protocol to fix it.
Maintainers are burnt out. Your repository is being spammed by vibe coders and agents looking for easy contributions. Filtering spam is unpaid labor. If this continues, maintainers will quit, and critical infrastructure will rot.
We introduce Economic Friction to Pull Requests. The Bouncer (Bot): We wrap your repo. If a PR is opened without a security deposit (Stake), our bot auto-closes it immediately. The Stake: Contributors deposit USDC/ETH to open a PR. Valid Code: Deposit returned 100%. Accepted Code: Deposit returned + Bounty paid. Spam/Garbage: Deposit slashed and sent to the repository treasury to fund future bounties. The Result: Spam goes to zero. Only people confident in their code put money on the table. --- FOR MAINTAINERS Stop reviewing spam. Install our GitHub App. Link a wallet. Let the market filter the noise. You keep full control. You decide what gets merged. We just clean your inbox. FOR CONTRIBUTORS Stop working for free internet points. Build a cryptographic resume (SBTs) that proves you actually ship code. Earn bounties for solving real problems. If you are good, you have nothing to lose. If you are a bot, you will go broke. FOR COMPANIES (GOVERNANCE) Your dependencies are underfunded risks. Don't just donate blindly. Fund the Treasury: Send funds to a project's smart contract. Vote on Roadmap: Donors vote on which issues get bounty priority. If you pay for it, it gets built.
Building MVP. Focusing on: Solidity Escrow Contracts. The GitHub "Bouncer" Bot. If you maintain a repo with >500 stars and hate your notifications tab, email us. If you want to fund the development, email us.
We're in conversations with maintainers of major OSS projects.
Maintain a project with 1000+ stars? We want to talk to you first.
Yes, but their incentives are backwards. Vs. Tea.xyz: They pay "royalties" based on dependency graphs. This creates a perverse incentive to upload AI-generated slop just to farm tokens. They add noise to the ecosystem; we remove it. Our Staking model makes spamming financially painful. Vs. Gitcoin: Gitcoin is charity (Grants). You rely on goodwill and quarterly funding rounds. We are a labor market: you fix the bug, you pass validation, you get paid instantly. We don't ask for donations, we pay for results.
Because Stripe doesn't handle escrow logic, programmable treasuries, or permissionless reputation. We use crypto for the backend rails. You don't need to care about the "community" or the "vibes".
It's stake-to-play. It costs $0 if you are competent. It costs money if you waste our time.
Currently one dev building the MVP. Goal: A decentralized protocol governed by the nodes that do the work.
