The problem it solves

Open-source orgs struggle to consistently fund and reward contributors. Manual payouts are error-prone, opaque, and time-consuming. RepoRewards turns a single treasury deposit into ongoing yield that can be transparently harvested and allocated to contributors based on their work.

• Reward contributors from yield (not just principal)
  Deposit treasury funds once; yield accrues automatically.
  Harvest and distribute to contributors tied to repos/PRs.

• Transparent, onchain payments
  Register orgs onchain; manage deposits via contracts.
  Live vault principal; auditable actions.

• Streamlined operations
  Add projects, view contributors, allocate payouts in a clean UI.
  Two-step Distribute flow: Harvest → Allocate.

• Safer, repeatable payouts
  Avoid ad-hoc transfers and spreadsheets.
  Contract-based allowances and role-restricted actions.

Challenges I ran into

not huge challenges, understanding the protocol was a bit of a process but it was okay after that.
