Community, Open Source & Funding
Monero is built by volunteers and funded by its community. Find projects, contribute, and support development.
Community Crowdfunding System (CCS)
The CCS is how the Monero community funds developers, researchers and other contributors. Proposals, milestones and payouts are public on ccs.getmonero.org. We link to it; we do not run, represent or control it.
