Live
Last updated · Update this page

The Permissionless Software Foundation funds open source software through a mix of token economics, community governance, consulting, and BCH-linked services. It is more experimental and ecosystem-specific than most entries here, but it is clearly live and still relevant as a crypto-native model for sustaining open source infrastructure.
