Run a sponsorship distribution system that splits funding among open source contributors based on verified contribution data, with portable contributor recognition. The Royalty Standard, Royalty Clearing, and DID and VC Ledger tie distribution to verified contributions and issue each contributor a credential they carry across projects.
Turn a hard, contested split of sponsorship money into an automatic distribution driven by verified contribution.
01.
Distribute by real work. The Royalty Clearing module splits sponsorship funds among contributors in proportion to verified contribution data such as commits or issue resolutions.
02.
Base shares on evidence. Contribution signals are verified and anchored, so distribution reflects who actually maintained the project rather than who is most visible.
03.
Give contributors a credential they own. The DID and VC Ledger issues each contributor a portable recognition credential that travels with them across projects.
04.
Encode the distribution policy. The Royalty Standard module attaches the project's agreed split policy on-chain, so every incoming sponsorship divides by the same rules.
05.
Show every contributor the math. Each distribution and its contribution basis are visible, so maintainers see exactly why a split landed as it did.
06.
Pay on funding receipt. When sponsorship arrives, it fans out to contributors automatically, ending the manual coordination that stalls fair distribution.
Follow a sponsorship payment from receipt through contribution weighting to automatic, transparent distribution.

Cerulea decomposes sponsorship distribution into modular contracts. Each layer sets policy, verifies contribution, splits funds, and recognizes contributors without a maintainer manually dividing the money.
Contribution-weighted sponsorship is a horizontal capability. Here is how different open source actors put it to work.
Split sponsorship among maintainers by verified contribution automatically, so funding reaches the people doing the work without a maintainer manually dividing money each cycle.
Key Asset Types
Earn a fair share of sponsorship tied to real commits and issue fixes, and carry a portable recognition credential that proves contribution across every project.
Key Asset Types
Fund a project once and see it distributed transparently by contribution, so sponsors know their money rewards maintainers rather than disappearing into opaque coordination.
Key Asset Types
Whether you are bridging code-hosting contribution data or routing sponsorship directly from sponsor wallets, Cerulea routes both into one distribution record.
For projects on established code-hosting platforms. Verified commit and issue data is translated into on-chain contribution weights through the API gateway automatically.

Building a sponsorship distribution system with contribution verification, weighted clearing, and portable recognition credentials from scratch requires specialised engineers and careful contribution-data integration. Calculate your exact deployment speed using Cerulea.

The legacy timeline reflects contribution-data and payments integration benchmarks. Verifying contribution signals, encoding split policy, and wiring weighted clearing with portable recognition for an average project takes a baseline of 6 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your contribution and split rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the distribution and recognition layer instantly.
