# Disbursement

## Grant Disbursement Process

Once a contributor has been approved for funding through the judging process, the platform manages the disbursement of funds through the following steps:

### 1. Eligibility Verification

Before any funds can be disbursed, the system verifies that:

* The contributor has completed their application
* The nomination has been approved by judges
* Required KYC verification has been completed (if applicable)
* The contributor has connected a valid XRPL wallet

### 2. Shirt Size Determination

The final shirt size is determined based on:

* Judge assessments (Small, Medium, or Large grant designation)
* Multiple judge reviews to ensure fair assessment
* The most frequent assessment is typically used as the final determination

### 3. Payment Processing

The platform integrates with the Kudos system for payment processing:

* A Kudos pool is created for each cohort of approved nominations
* Each nomination is processed with its determined shirt size
* Contributors receive their grants directly to their registered XRPL wallet address
* The platform records transaction details for transparency and audit purposes

### 4. Notification

When disbursement is complete:

* Contributors receive an email notification about their grant payment
* The platform provides a record of the transaction for reference
