Would Epic be able to fund developers committing to the git repo with blockchain?

There’s this project in the Polkadot ecosystem. Currently, they just offer mostly financial products, and crypto hedge funds. The idea is people buy ASTR, and stake it on projects to print the inflation and fees to the projects users find valuable.

In theory you could set it up, so a portion of the print Epic Games receives goes to developers that get commits submitted into the Git repo. If your commit is submitted Epic games sends that dev some money.

HBAR is also another option since it’s designed for micropayments. The implementation for the end user is not as clear. They’re probably both worth looking into. You’ll end up building up coffers of multiple tokens, and just payout to devs their preferred currency mix.

Basically, what Epic Games is doing is plugging into a monetary ecosystem that directly prints currency to businesses in proportion to the value they provide for that ecosystems success. I know Microsoft is looking into Astar, and probably HBAR as well. Both solve real problem with the financial system and the ability to pay people around the globe. It’s just a new monetary system that’s native to the internet.

Is this something Epic Games is interested in looking into?

My guess is “no.”
