DevCoin is a lightweight distributed social network where software developers can monetize their work, remix others work or rate work. Developers can monetize anything from a smart-contracts, libraries to full projects. Developers also get paid a portion if their work is sold as part of another project. All payments are handled in the new DEV token or DevCoin.

Buidl Tokenomics

1. Users get 10 DEV tokens upon signing up.
2. When publishing work developers can set a Price (in DEV token) and the code can be then licensed for that Price.
3. Developer can also set a remix share %. Whenever a derived work is purchased then that portion (%) of the payment will be sent to the original author.

Technology

• Fully on-chain
• 3 smart-contracts (token, profile, work)
• Run as a PWA (progressive web application)
• Developed using No-Code (Toolblox.net and Midjourney)

Contracts

1. DevCoin ERC20 token
2. Developer Profile contract
3. Work Items contract

Problem

Many developers contribute to open-source projects but rarely get paid. A survey showed that while more than 64% of developers contribute to these projects, less than 20% of them receive compensation. This highlights a big problem in how developers make money from their work.

Why Decentralized

A decentralized network fits well for software development. It cuts out middlemen, making transactions and licensing straightforward and fair. This setup encourages sharing and building upon others' work without losing out on earnings.

Potential

The software market is huge and continues to grow. DevCoin has the potential to change how developers sell and license their work, making it easier and fairer. This could lead to more innovation and a better selection of software for everyone, capturing a significant market share in the process.

Whats next for DevCoin

If project gains attention/appraise, incorporate feedback and launch on BNBChain mainnet.
