Development Rewards

Another area of contribution that Gomezi will provide crypto rewards for is enhancement of the software. Gomezi is 100% free and open source, so the code is free to the public for peer review and contribution.

Free and open source software is becoming more widely adopted than ever before. Today, there are over one million open source projects in development and roughly of applications are leveraging open source technology to some extent. The transparent nature of open source software sparks innovation at a much more rapid rate than with proprietary technology because it opens it up to rigorous peer-review and new use cases. Open source has the benefit of increasing security due to its publicly auditable nature. Combined with the Developer Rewards program, there is also an incentive for users to disclose such vulnerability and exploits.

Gomezi will reward developers for finding bugs, identifying security vulnerabilities and making contributions to the code or open source documentation. Since the level of contribution can vary significantly, all development rewards will first need to be reviewed by Gomezi to determine the amount rewarded. Gomezi will evaluate reward sizes for bugs according to severity calculated by the OWASP risk rating model which is dependent on Impact and Likelihood. Contributed software for new features and the final reward amount will be approved or rejected at the sole discretion of Gomezi.

New features will also be considered, but Gomezi will only issue rewards for new features that are first approved and then implemented on the network. All submissions for new features must be in line with our philosophies of Internet freedom, exponential reach and improved monetization and user rights.
