## Monetization Policy

This repo uses [Gitcoin](https://gitcoin.co) to incentivize contributions from contributors all around the world.

We believe that properly incentivizing Open Source Software means providing funding to support contributors, but we also recognize the dangerous precedent that is set when contributors who have been contributing for intrinsic reasons begin to expect extrinsic rewards for their contributions.

Gitcoin has written about this, in the abstract, [here](https://medium.com/gitcoin/building-a-platform-that-maximizes-freedom-1149968a7b05). Tangibly, our *monetary policy* is:

1. Our mission is to "Grow Open Source". [Read More about our Mission here](https://gitcoin.co/mission).
2. We believe that contributors should contribute for intrinsic reasons first (see mission statement above), and we hereby provide notice that we will not be able to fund all contributions. Appreciate it if and when a Tip comes!
3. Scope that is explicitly funded upfront will be posted to the Github Issue by [@gitcoinbot](https://github.com/gitcoinbot), and will also be posted to the [Gitcoin Issue Explorer](https://gitcoin.co/explorer).


## Code of Conduct

Contributions to Gitcoin are governed by the [Contributor Covenant version 1.4](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html).
