The Member Portal will be available to meetup organizers for free. Decentralized Philly will onboard its members and collect fees in ETH for events through the portal. The Decentralized Philly community will act as open source maintainers of the Member Portal and use the growing Public Goods Grants ecosystem to continue funding development. This approach ensures sustainability and ongoing value delivery.

On a commercially sustainable model, a traditional platform/software-as-a-service model for sustaining the Member Portal could work since the project itself as a public good only includes the code and it would be up to organizers to find options to host their application for their members (and handle scaling). There is precedent with this in content management systems like Wordpress or Drupal and several Apache Foundation projects like Hadoop and Airflow.
