GitHub Sponsors Profile

Who am I?
Hi. I am the maintainer of Baileys, whatsmeow and whatsapp-web.js, the three most prominent WhatsApp Web API automation projects.
What is this Program?
This is a sponsors program in order to allow me to continue my work in the open-source sector, and pay for costs related to open-source development. To the right (and down), you can see the tiers listed.
What are the benefits
The most exclusive benefit is the 1 hour meeting. You can book one to the right under "one-time". Professional Sponsors get 1 hour meeting every 2 months which is cheaper than outright booking (You get your meeting by the 2nd month).
More benefits coming soon!!!!!! Stay tuned as I am still fixing access control systems so sponsors can access their perks.
How are the funds being used?

Donations to other members of the community, latest example being my donation of 500$ to @vphelipe after their work on the lowercase hex id (66e) issue, and a sizeably large monthly donation to @jlucaso1 and @vinikjkkj (few hundred USD per month)
Domain registration fees, currently the WhiskeySockets project operates 3 domains, and 2 other retired domains that we'll keep paying for in a year (a .com and .io domains). ( Few hundred $ / yr )
Discord bots (translation, ticketing, FAQ, polling, other tools) (Over 100$/month)
Webpage hosting fees
Cloud fees for Baileys tests, among phone number fees for numbers used to test Baileys (hundreds / month)
Other expenses needed for the health and sustenance of the project. (varies)

Note: All tiers include the benefits of the tiers before them
