Ellcrys

Discontinued Unverified

Last updated 2026-03-15 · Update this page

Discontinued. This listing is kept in OSS.Fund for reference, but the platform no longer appears active.

Ellcrys proposed a blockchain-based alternative to centralized code hosting, where contributors could co-own software, participate in governance, and share revenue from the products they helped build. The project now appears dormant, but it remains a good historical example of attempts to merge decentralized infrastructure with software monetization.
