SourceCred

The open-source community provides an enormous amount of value to the world. SourceCred aims to support that community by creating a sustainable model for funding open-source projects, and rewarding the contributors to those projects. We'll do that by enabling every open-source project to create its own digital token, called cred, which represents respect or "street cred" in the community. People will earn cred in a project by contributing to it.

For a high-level overview of how SourceCred works, check out overview.md.

For an in-depth discussion of SourceCred's design, check out design.md (under construction).

We aim to have design discussions on GitHub, so that people who contribute to the design will receive cred in SourceCred. For coordination and casual conversation, please join our slack.
