FundChain
Crowdfunding without borders, fees, or broken promises.
What it does
FundChain replaces trust with code. Unlike Kickstarter or Indiegogo, funds are locked in smart contracts and only released when milestones are verified backers can't get rugged. No geographic restrictions, no bank accounts needed, just a wallet. Fees drop from the industry-standard 15–20% down to 3–6%. Built on Polygon for near-zero gas costs. Transparency isn't a feature, it's enforced by the blockchain itself.

Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6. I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a…
