About

The problem it solves In our innovative platform, we've streamlined the user experience to make joining and participating in projects a breeze, especially for those who already possess **a NEAR wallet**. By using blockchain technology, the platform **eliminates** the need for **intermediaries**, reduces transaction fees, and enables global participation. Besides, we're aiming to provide **a more transparent, and secure crowdfunding platform**. ## Projects are divided into categories We provide 3 types of projects: >- ***Charitable Crowdfunding***: education, healthcare, disaster relief, environmental conservation, and social welfare. - ***Community Crowdfunding***: for community centers, parks, schools, sports teams, cultural events, or small businesses (start-up). - ***Creative Crowdfunding***: allows artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, and other creative individuals to raise funds for the production of their work, such as albums, films, books, artworks, or performances. ## Project milestone Our initiative also permits the establishment of milestones, which are distinct targets that must be accomplished prior to the disbursement of funds. This guarantees that funds are disbursed exclusively upon achieving precise goals, lessening the potential for fraudulent activities and guaranteeing the appropriate utilization of funds according to their designated purpose. ## Keep track of money Customers can effortlessly monitor their donation flow, as transactions are stored across blockchain nodes, enabling them to easily track how their funds are utilized by the project owner. This enhances trust among customers and fundraisers alike.
