# Introduction

Morpheus is being developed in an **open-source, community-driven way**, by contributors from all around the world.

These contributors are rewarded through the **Code Provider bucket**, which receives **24% of all protocol emissions**.\
Learn more about emissions distribution [here.](https://gitbook.mor.org/tokenomics/mor-emissions)

Open-source collaboration has fueled many of the greatest technological breakthroughs — from **Linux** and **Python** to **Ethereum** itself.

Morpheus follows this same philosophy, empowering anyone to contribute to the evolution of the protocol.

To make collaboration structured and transparent, the community uses the **MRC (Morpheus Request for Comments)** system — inspired by Ethereum’s **ERC (Ethereum Request for Comments)** standard.

MRCs allow anyone to **propose improvements, new features, or changes** to any part of the Morpheus ecosystem — from smart contracts and infrastructure to community tools and governance models.
