Key Features

đŸŽ¯

Auto-Refund Protection

If milestone deadlines pass without delivery, funds automatically return to backers via time-locked escrow.

💰

Multi-Token Pledges

Back projects in RLUSD, USDC, USDT, or XRP. Maximum flexibility for global backers.

🌍

Global Access

No geographic restrictions. Anyone with an XRPL wallet can participate from anywhere in the world.
