How it works

All or nothing, enforced by a wallet.

Creators list physical products for on-chain people. Backers pledge SOL into an escrow wallet that only pays out if the goal is hit.

How escrow works

All or nothing, enforced by a wallet.

01

Launch

The creator signs one message. Kickstartr generates a new escrow wallet that belongs to this project and nothing else.

02

Pledge

Backers send SOL straight to that escrow. Every pledge is a public transaction you can check on Solscan.

03

Lock

Until the deadline the escrow pays out to no one. Not the creator, not the backers, not Kickstartr.

04

Settle

Goal hit: the escrow pays the creator to build and ship. Goal missed: every pledge goes back to the wallet it came from.

Questions

Every pledge is sent back to the wallet it came from, automatically, less the 0.000005 SOL network fee for the refund transaction.

Building something the chain needs?

Upload your photos, set a goal and launch. Your escrow wallet is created the moment you do, and you keep every SOL you raise if you hit your goal.
