This is actually a good idea: something like homebrew or a package manager but with a convenient way to fund packages you use, or donate money to a pool so that widely-used packages are funded, or maybe just pay a monthly fee like $5 like Coil. But blockchain is not the way to implement it. “Every project exists as an NFT.” Does that mean I’ll have to pay roughly $500 (the price to create an NFT in Etherium) if I want to deploy a package? Will I have to pay gas fees to download packages? How will I, with no interest in cryptocurrency, transfer money? Is actually a lot more straightforward to do this centralized without blockchain. There are already projects like ‘npm fund’ whose goal is to create a graph which you can use to figure out how to divide $X among package contributors, and how yo send that money to their bank accounts. If the developer actually cares about funding package maintainers they should realize that blockchain is overhyped and pivot to distributing real money, managing it through something like a PostgreSQL database instead.
