# What is Feature?

Our vision is to encourage developers to contribute to projects on GitHub, by being rewarded with cryptocurrencies.

You can still use Feature to improve your software development productivity.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is currently deployed on [Gnosis Chain](https://www.xdaichain.com), [Polygon](https://polygon.technology) and [Arbitrum](https://arbitrum.io).
{% endhint %}

You can benefit from Feature services directly on Github. A Github bot parses your issues to create truly secure payments.
