FAQ

  • What happens after I submit my donation?

    Your donation is held in our Stripe account until the issue you pledged to is resolved. Once resolved, the funds are distributed among the contributor who solved the issue, the maintainer who reviewed the code, and a small portion is retained by the platform to cover processing fees.
