Competition Who is a direct competitor to your project? Either in crypto or traditional industries
As far as we are concerned, there are no similar projects in Solana ecosystem.
In crypto, Gitcoin is the direct competitor to BytePay. However, Gitcoin does not release open source project products as NFTs, it only solves the problem of developer remuneration, and does not solve the problem of how to commercialize software owners, and Gitcoin will not support cryptocurrency payments other than GTC.
In traditional industries, the biggest competitor to BytePay is Github Sponsor. It does not support payment by cryptocurrency.
