Thanks for this proposal on the OSS Domain — the focus on developer tooling and core infrastructure feels essential for the resilience of Ethereum and the broader web3 ecosystem.
Our own proposal took a different direction: instead of creating a new domain, we’re exploring whether CollabBerry’s peer-based contributor allocation and accountability tooling could serve as a cross-domain mechanism.
What caught our attention here is the emphasis on sustainability for open-source contributors. From our perspective, funding OSS is critical, but so is ensuring that once grants reach a project, the internal allocation among contributors is fair, transparent, and incentive-aligned. This “last mile” challenge is where OSS often struggles: contributors feel unseen, undercompensated, or misaligned.
CollabBerry is experimenting with mechanisms that enable peer-reviewed allocation and payout automation, designed specifically for open-source contexts where contribution patterns can be diverse and hard to track. We’re curious if you see this type of contributor-level accountability as complementary to the OSS domain’s goals of strengthening developer infrastructure.
