### Benefits for Open-Source Maintainers

#### You lose nothing
<DimmedText>Our [bot](/overview/install-bot) is entirely free. You lose nothing by installing it (just a few seconds!), and you can benefit from it right away.</DimmedText>
#### Free to install — but not free of moderation cost
<DimmedText>
Our [bot](/overview/install-bot) is free to install (just a few seconds), and you can create rewards right away. That does **not** mean maintainers “lose nothing.” Listing rewards on Opire can attract a constant stream of low-quality or automated claims: generic “claiming this bounty” comments and drive-by AI pull requests that do not solve the issue. The real trade-off is often **time spent moderating spam versus time spent building software**. Factor that cost in before opening many rewarded issues; close or unreward noisy threads early, and prefer clear acceptance criteria so real contributors can compete.

#### Gain popularity
<DimmedText>Rewards created in your projects will attract developers interested in claiming them. This puts your project in the spotlight for great professionals.</DimmedText>
