# Disbursement

## Reward 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 submission 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 reward 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 Wave of approved submissions
* Each submission is processed with its determined shirt size
* Contributors receive their rewards 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  payment
* The platform provides a record of the transaction for reference

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://glow-docs.xrpl-commons.org/program-information/key-processes/disbursement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
