Open source software generates billions in economic value, yet most contributors work without compensation. Centralized platforms control repository access, and there's no guarantee that code will remain available. Projects can lose maintainers, platforms can change policies, and valuable code can become inaccessible over time.
Current Issues:
Most open source contributors receive no compensation
Uncertainty about long-term code availability
Platform policies can change without notice
Projects struggle with maintainer succession
No permanent, verifiable contribution records
OpenSource creates a decentralized platform where code lives forever on Arweave and contributors get paid automatically through smart contracts. Every commit, bug fix, and pull request triggers instant $OS token payments.
Key Innovations:
Permanent code storage on Arweave blockchain
Automatic payments via smart contracts
True ownership through blockchain verification
GitHub integration for easy migration
AI-powered code review and valuation
Traditional platforms require trust in companies that can change terms, delete content, or shut down. Blockchain provides immutable records, transparent operations, and trustless payments that operate without intermediaries.
Blockchain Benefits:
Immutable contribution history
Transparent reward calculations
Decentralized governance
Censorship-resistant storage
Borderless payments
