HOW IT WORKS

Three steps.
Then keep building.

Your Hugging Face account proves identity. A repository commit proves control. Your wallet receives the reward.

01

Verify your work

Sign in with Hugging Face, select a public repository, and connect its payout wallet.

02

Build in the open

Usage, maintenance, adoption, quality, and provenance form a public model score.

03

Claim your share

Each reward epoch publishes its allocation manifest and a proof your wallet can claim.

The scoring recipe

Downloads matter.
Real work matters more.

The formula rewards durable model value and limits any one repository to 10% of an eligible public epoch.
