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

Will you be adding other Git hosted solutions too?
In the future, yes! We're starting with GitHub :)
Awesome, best of luck to you for your launch!
Thanks @ducktracker!

Looking forward to helping you monetise your work!

This is brilliant tbh. Finally something for the developers who are more than responsible for moving the needle in the Crypto space!
Thanks @mryalamanchi!

We look forward to seeing you in the platform!
