Escrow-backed crowdfunding on Solana

Fund the hardware
the chain runs on.

Start a project for a physical product on-chain people need, or back one you believe in. Every project gets its own escrow wallet: the creator is paid only if the goal is hit, otherwise every backer is refunded.

Projects

Every project here is designed by its creator.

For builders

Start your project

Got a device that makes self-custody, trading or running infrastructure better? List it, set a goal, and let the chain fund it.

  1. 1Describe the product and rewards
  2. 2Set a SOL goal and a deadline
  3. 3Get paid from escrow when you hit it

For backers

Back a project

Put SOL behind hardware you actually want. Your pledge sits in the campaign's own escrow wallet, not with the creator.

  1. 1Pick a project you would actually use
  2. 2Pledge SOL straight to its escrow
  3. 3Refunded automatically if it falls short

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.

How Kickstartr works

What belongs on Kickstartr

Physical products for people who hold their own keys. No tokens, no presales, no vapourware.

The Dev Fund

We back projects with our own SOL.

The Kickstartr dev wallet pledges to projects it believes in, through the same escrow as everyone else. If a project misses its goal, the dev wallet is refunded like any backer. Every dev pledge is on-chain and tagged Dev-backed.

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.
