Hello I'm Rodrigo, co-founder of Quine (https://quine.sh). We are building novel ways for software creators to monetise their work, skills, and reputation.

Today we're releasing our first product, GitNFT (https://gitnft.quine.sh/), which enables developers to autograph and mint NFTs of their GitHub commits and list them in the OpenSea marketplace for collectors to buy.

We think commits are a great collector item. They're unique, have verifiable authorship, and are immutable by design. Moreover, they can store substantial collector value, either for their historical significance, the coolness/beauty of their code, or the popularity of the author!

The world’s digital infrastructure feeds on Open-Source Software (OSS), yet the economic value it generates does not back-propagate to its creators. GitNFT is a new monetisation mechanism that aims to make Open-Source work economically sustainable
