Discontinued. This listing is kept in OSS.Fund for reference, but the platform no longer appears active.

Flossbank was a dependency-tree funding platform that routed donations and opt-in terminal ad revenue to the open source packages people actually used. The service is decommissioning, but it remains a strong example of usage-based OSS donation infrastructure.
