OnlyDust was an open-source funding organization that distributed grants to contributors and maintainers of critical infrastructure. Its website states that the OnlyDust chapter has closed and points visitors to ctrlg.com, a separate initiative focused on code security.
Distributed
Description
OnlyDust funded open-source work for four years, distributing $18M in grants to 4,000 contributors through committees and an allocation agent. The organization states that maintainers increasingly rejected outside contributions amid low-quality AI-generated code and security risks, and that OnlyDust has closed its chapter. It directs visitors to ctrlg.com, which it says addresses the need to determine whether code is safe to merge.Grant Funding
