• Jun 30, 2025: I (@halx99) left ByteDance. Since I’m not planning to take on a new role in the short term, I’ll be spending much more time contributing to Axmol’s growth and development.
• May 2, 2025: Axmol received sponsorships totaling US$10,000 across 66 transactions, all directed solely toward essential expenditures such as purchasing the domain (axmol.dev). I even began thinking draft rewarding rules, although the funds are currently managed by the Open Source Collective.
• Mar 16, 2025: Noticing that the Open Source Collective's platform imposed fees as high as 10% (resulting in a $432.30 loss on $3000 in donations), due to my experience in developing online payment for the x-studio software, I developed an alternative PayPal sponsorship channel (https://axmol.dev/donate/) with a much lower fee of only 4.43%. I sincerely hope that financial supporters will consider switching to this channel to maximize the impact of their contributions.
