Protocol

For backers

Everything you need to back projects safely

Smart contract escrow, time-released tranches, and 72h challenge windows give you more protection and visibility than traditional crowdfunding.

Before you back

Check the Ethos score

Review founder reputation tier and full Ethos profile.

Verify the Origin Capsule

Review AI transcript and development proof.

Understand the funding model

Know the raise type and refund conditions.

Review the roadmap

Are milestones realistic and achievable?

Check social presence

Verify X (Twitter) handle and posting history.

Making a contribution

Connect a wallet

MetaMask, Rainbow, or supported wallet on the correct network.

Enter an amount

See projected token allocation based on current raise progress.

Review and confirm

Review raise type, refund conditions, and token allocation.

Funds escrowed

Contribution goes to smart contract escrow, not the founder.
