What is GitBag?
GitBag is open-source funding infrastructure built on Solana. It lets maintainers launch a token, crowdfund through an ICO, and automatically
reward contributors — turning commits into real financial rewards.

The Problem
Open source runs the world — but who pays for it?
- Maintainers can't fundraise. There's no simple way to raise capital for OSS projects without giving up control.
- Contributors go unpaid. Thousands of hours of work with zero financial reward.
- Donations don't scale. Sponsorships and tips are inconsistent and insufficient.
- Talent leaves OSS. The best developers move to paid work — projects stagnate.
The Solution
GitBag lets maintainers launch a project token, crowdfund through an ICO, and automatically reward contributors — all on Solana. No VCs, no
strings attached.
How It Works
- Install the GitBag GitHub App on your repo. It tracks PRs, commits, reviews & issues automatically.
- Launch a token or run an ICO for your project. Maintainers raise capital upfront.
- Trade fees vest over time. Vested SOL/tokens are released based on project milestones.
