For open source builders who want more
The infrastructure to turn your project into a sustainable product and community. Route your users to Hanzo Cloud, get native tools to support them, and earn 25% commission on every deployment.
From repo to revenue
Three pillars designed to help open source projects capture the value they create without compromising their open license.
Deploy as a template
Turn your repository into a one-click deploy template. Users run your project on Hanzo Cloud to go live in seconds with zero DevOps hassle.

Your dedicated template forum surfaces questions from real users deploying your project. Unblock users while collecting valuable feedback.
- Questions flow directly to Central Station & Console
- First-hand user bug reports and telemetry
- Seamless developer community engagement
Earn 25% revenue share
Earn 25% commission on all compute usage from every deployment of your template. Paid out continuously as users scale.

- Track deployments, resource consumption & accruals
- Payout via Credits, Stripe Connect, or Web3 Wallet
Earn across your entire stack ecosystem
Someone builds a template with your database, framework, or AI model? You earn commission on it. You don't need to create every template yourself — your community builds on your technology, and Hanzo attributes the revenue back to your project.
Dedicated Partner Page

Ecosystem-Wide Attribution

The 25% Managed OSS Escrow Pool
Transparent, cryptographically verified revenue allocation wired directly into the billing engine.
1. Automated Set-Aside
Every hour, the commerce engine (`ossattr`) calculates 25% of all container compute, GPU hours, and serverless invocations generated by deployed templates.
2. Held Pool Escrow
If a project maintainer hasn't linked their payout details yet, funds never expire or revert. They are held in the `held` escrow status until verified and claimed.
3. Multi-Rail Payouts
Withdrawals can be claimed in Hanzo Cloud Credits (1:1), cash via Stripe Connect, or on-chain Web3 crypto transfer (USDC, ETH, LUX, or HNZ) to your linked wallet.
