Guardyn is built by a solo founder dedicated to making privacy accessible to everyone. Your sponsorship enables full-time work on security features, bug fixes, and new functionality.
Professional security audits cost €15,000-25,000. We're saving for audits by Cure53 and Trail of Bits to ensure cryptographic implementation meets the highest standards.
Running Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, testing environments, and storage infrastructure costs $500-2,000/month. Your support keeps the lights on.
Documentation, tutorials, community support, and educational content take time. Sponsorship funds help us build a thriving open-source community.
Choose a tier that works for you. Every contribution matters! ❤️
Not ready for monthly sponsorship? You can support Guardyn with a one-time contribution!
We believe in complete transparency. All sponsorship funds are tracked publicly on Open Collective, where you can see exactly how your contributions are being used.
Yes! GitHub Sponsors and Open Collective allow you to cancel anytime with no penalties. We appreciate any support, whether for one month or many years.
If you sponsor through Open Collective, your contribution may be tax-deductible (depending on your country and tax laws). GitHub Sponsors payments are generally not tax-deductible. Consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.
Yes! The core Guardyn platform will always be 100% free, open source (Apache 2.0 license), and self-hostable. We will offer optional paid services (managed hosting, enterprise support) to sustain development, but the code will remain free forever.
All sponsors are listed in our README.md on GitHub and on this sponsors page. Higher tiers receive logo placement on the homepage and additional recognition. You can choose to remain anonymous if you prefer.
Absolutely! Corporate sponsorships are welcome and come with additional benefits like logo placement, priority support, and influence on the roadmap. For Enterprise Partner inquiries ($2,000+/month), please contact [email protected].
If we don't reach sustainable funding ($2,000-5,000/month), development will slow down as the founder will need to take on part-time consulting work. However, the project will continue—just at a slower pace. Your sponsorship directly accelerates development!
Every sponsor helps us build a more private, secure internet.
