Minerva

Code. Contribute. Support.

Get rewarded for every open-source contribution

Game Theory Overview

Incentivising Contributors

Minerva does this by letting sponsors directly fund the contributors of the project on platforms such as GitHub.

Incentivising Sponsors

Sponsors get ERC-20 tokens for a particular repository after sponsoring it. This also promotes early sponsoring.

How It Works

The idea here is to have a platform where anyone interested to support/sponsor a certain GitHub repository can contribute their part for building the project associated. If a supporter/sponsor finds a repository which he/she/they think is useful, innovative or interesting and can be taken to another extent, they can fund the repository in form of stablecoins through the platform.

Now whenever the sponsor funds a repo, they get an ERC-20 token (associated with the repository) in return. If a supporter/sponsor finds a repository which he/she/they think is useful, innovative or interesting and can be taken to another extent, they can fund the repository in form of stablecoins through the platform. An X amount of percentage of ERC-20 tokens (associated with the repository) goes to the maintainer of the repository as their reward from this pool. The rest goes to a pool which is used later to incentivize contributions to this repository, for the contributors.
