**OpenFare is a funding mechanism which is deployable with one commit.**

The goal: facilitate funding the next million software content creators.

OpenFare can be used to fund open source or commercial software at any scale. It is a decentralized protocol which defines how payees can be paid.

OpenFare works by adding a [`OpenFare.lock` file](https://openfare.dev/doc/cli/lock.html) to a software package. The file includes:

* Payment addresses for code contributors (so that developers can receive funds directly).

* A funds split scheme.

The OpenFare [tool](https://openfare.dev/doc/cli/index.html) can then finds lock files from within a software dependency tree and help send payments to contributors.

This system leads to the following advantages:

* Donations span the entire software dependency tree. Critical software which is outside the limelight is supported.

* Micropayment obligations for commercial software can be managed across thousands of software dependencies.
