For Funders

- Open up a Github Issue here.
- Fill out the template.
- Pay for the kudos art.
- We will mint the kudos.
- You've got a branded kudos!
For Artists:
Compensation
There are two options for compensation for Kudos:
- Self Sovereign - When a new Kudos is created, the ETH sent during that minting process is directly sent to the illustrator who created the Kudos artwork. In some cases, Gitcoin may also take a 10% fee to help keep the lights on.
- Gitcoin-Funded - Gitcoin will pay you for each piece of artwork, and will collect the self sovereign (#1) funds. Email us a link to your portfolio to be considered.
Right now, we expect that most ppl will want to do Gitcoin-Funded kudos art. But down the line, when people are making $100s per day off their Kudos art, we hope people will consider the self sovereign route.
