NOBODY TOUCHES YOUR MONEY
One word per panel, and every one of them is checkable.
NOBODY
0people who can move your pledge, us included
It is never in our account and never in the founder's. We take custody of nothing at any point, which is also why us going out of business could not strand it.
TOUCHES
100%held by the contract until the goal is met
It sits in an escrow on a public network, with an address and a balance anyone can look up. The founder cannot draw it early and neither can we, and that is something you can check rather than believe.
YOUR
0payments that leave without your tap
Every movement is approved by you, on your own device. No standing authority, no automatic renewals, and nothing that can be taken while you are not looking.
MONEY
100%of the escrowed pledge back if the goal is missed, and out whenever you want
Miss the goal and the escrow unlocks: every backer takes their pledge back with one tap, no form to fill in. The platform fee and any tip paid when you backed are not returned. Your balance has no lock-in either: it leaves on your say-so and we charge nothing to send it.
What pays here, and how much
9 of them, every rate taken from the contract itself. Here they are, and here is what they add up to. Ceilings and network figures, not promises: what you actually receive depends on what the people you bring in do.
0.75%of everything a friend backs
Invite a friend
When someone you invited backs a project, our fee is split down the middle and half of it is yours. It keeps paying for as long as they keep backing.
Half of the 1.5% platform fee, split on chain at the moment of payment.
up to 18.5%of each pledge your link brings
Share a project
Creators set a bounty for the people who bring them backers. Share your link, and every pledge it brings in pays you the rate that creator chose.
The creator picks the rate. 18.5% is the ceiling the contract allows; most set less, and the default is nothing at all.
up to $200in referral milestones
Hit the milestones
As the people you brought in generate fees, you unlock bonuses on top of your share. The rate climbs the further you go, and there is no cap on how many you reach.
Four steps, from $5 to $200. Claims are paid out within a few days.
5%a year on SOL you stake, paid by the network
Stake your SOL
Nothing to back today? Stake and earn the reward the Solana network pays validators. Your coins never leave your control and we take nothing from it.
Paid by the Solana protocol, not by us, and you keep both stake authorities. The reward is the steady part; the SOL price is not. Its best year was 2021 at +11,179% and its worst was 2022 at -94.2%, both of which are history and neither of which is a forecast.
97.5%of a $100 pledge, on the free plan
Raise money
Launch your own project and keep almost all of what people pledge. Our cut falls as low as 0.5% on the top plan, and there is one small flat fee per pledge.
1.5% on the free plan falling to 0.5%, plus $0.99 per pledge. On the top plan a $100 pledge leaves you 98.5%.
$50one off, after review
Finish the onboarding
Put in 20, back a project with 5, launch a campaign, publish a short video on Instagram and TikTok, bring ten people who launch and back too, and finish the course. One payment once a person has checked all of it. Each of the ten also pays you from the day they join.
Reviewed by a person before it is paid, and refusable for any reason, the video included.
10%of everything your invites generate
Keep earning from people you brought
Everyone you invite keeps producing revenue as they use the platform. A share of it comes back to you for as long as they stay, without you doing anything else.
Paid on revenue actually collected, and reviewed by a person before anything is sent.
$20every $50 one of them generates
Paid again, and again
Each time one person you invited crosses another band of revenue, another payment is yours. Counted per person, with no ceiling and no end date.
Counted from their lifetime revenue, so the same band is never paid twice.
$10per report, 50 places
Tell us what went wrong
We are early and some of this may not behave. The most useful reports about what broke are paid, and there are a fixed number of places.
Read by a person. Places are limited and we decide which reports qualify.

The ones people ask before signing up.
Is my money safe?
It sits in escrow, not with the founder. If a project misses its goal, the escrow unlocks and every backer takes their pledge back with one tap. Fees paid at pledge time are not returned.
Can I take my money out?
Your balance, yes, any time and with no platform fee. Money you have already pledged to a project that hit its goal is with the founder building the thing, so that part cannot come back.
What does it cost?
Nothing to back a project and nothing to withdraw. The fee is on the campaign: 1.5% of each pledge on the free plan, down to 0.5%, plus a small flat amount. Money left sitting idle carries 0.01% a week. Every figure is on the pricing page.
How do I earn?
Invite friends, share projects, stake your SOL, send a beta report, finish the onboarding, or raise for your own project. Every route is listed above with the rate it pays.
Do I need to know crypto?
No. Sign up with an email, pay by card, see your own currency. The rest runs quietly in the background.
Can I take my deposit out whenever I want?
Yes. Your balance is yours, there is no lock-in period, no platform fee on a withdrawal and no waiting. The only money that cannot come back is a pledge to a campaign that already reached its goal, because that money is with the founder building the thing.
What happens if the project I backed never delivers?
The creator has broken an obligation to you, and you have whatever recourse the law gives you against them. What we cannot do is reverse it, because once a campaign hits its goal we no longer hold the money. That is the honest limit of any crowdfunding platform, and it is the reason to read a campaign properly and to back what you can afford to part with.
Who is behind CoFunders?
A small team in Lisbon. You can reach a person at support@cofunders.org, and the address is at the bottom of every page. We hold no customer funds at any point: pledges sit in an on-chain escrow whose balance anyone can look up.
What currency am I actually holding?
A stablecoin, USDC or EURC, each designed to stay at one dollar or one euro. Prices show in your own currency. This is not the volatile kind of crypto: the only thing on the platform whose value moves is SOL, and that is only if you choose to stake.
Is there an app, and does it cost anything to install?
CoFunders runs in your browser and installs to your home screen from there, on iPhone and Android, with no app store and nothing to pay. Once installed it opens like any other app and works the same.
One more, tucked away: what the holding cost is, and why it is 0.52% a year. The holding cost, in one page
