Register Your GitHub Project

Connect your wallet and submit your GitHub project to the Open Compensation Token License (OCTL) ecosystem. This will create a smart contract entry on the blockchain for your project.

How Registration Works

When you submit your project, we'll create a unique identifier for it and register it on the blockchain using the OCTL smart contract. Follow these steps to complete the registration:

  • Step 1: Connect your wallet (Metamask) to authenticate and interact with the blockchain
  • Step 2: Fill out the project details form to enable cash flow
  • Step 3: Complete the after-submission steps and link your project with the OCTL Smartcontract by using the Project Identifier (x-octl-sid)
  • Step 4: Share your project with others who may want to license it

The transaction will be processed on the Arbitrum network, which offers lower gas fees and faster transactions compared to the Ethereum mainnet.

ETH on Arbitrum requirement:

You will need ETH (~ 0.10 $) on Arbitrum in your wallet to complete the transaction (Gas Fees). If you don't have ETH on Arbitrum, please send us an email register@license-token.com with your wallet address and we'll help you get started.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

First, connect your MetaMask wallet to authenticate and interact with the blockchain.

Network: Arbitrum One

Step 3: What to Do After Submission

After successfully submitting your project, please complete these important steps:

  1. Add the x-octl-sid to your code files:

    Copy the generated Project Identifier (x-octl-sid) and add it to your source code files as a comment. This links your code to the blockchain registration.

    OCTL Project Identifier: x-octl-sid:[Will be generated]

  2. Add the license.txt to your repository:

    Download and add the Open Compensation Token License to your repository: https://github.com/open-compensation-token-license/license
