Donor
A user who funds donated compute for an open source project through a project-level dollar balance.
A donor is a user who funds donated compute for an open source project. The donation adds dollars to the project's shared balance so maintainers can spend it on model token usage.
In opub, donors support project work without choosing prompts, tools, or tasks for maintainers. The public project page shows how donated compute is available and how provider-reported spend changes the project ledger.
A donor is different from a maintainer. Donors fund the project balance; maintainers decide how to spend that balance through compute keys for project work.
