Canonizer recognition shares are openly tracked in the Master Canonizer Share Sheet. People are recognized with 1 share by either donating one hour, or contributing $100, or some combination of the two (paid $40 for 1 hour results in $40 + 0.60 shares).
These shares are only seen as “recognition” for work done and there is no legally binding authority for any of this nor any quid-pro-quo. This system may change at any time.
