Thats great and also welcome to the forum. But i want to know, those who donate to fund these startups, what do they stand to gain??

And what measures will be put in place to check if these startup projects are legit and not vampires ready to suck innocent bystanders blood.

I invested in a started project three years ago only to realise their project will start in 2025.

It was that day i saw the need to first read whitepapers thoroughly before making and crypto financial decisions.

This is a nice idea
Most project lacks funds and they end of collapsing. But please how do these crowdfunding works? People just donate funds to support Or foundations like tron set up some funds to be given to startups or it’s like launchpads

I plan on Improving governance by implementing a voting mechanism for platform decisions, improving transparency around decision-making, and empowering users to have a greater say in the platform’s direction.
This will give those who participate in donations higher say in the platform.

People can create a crowdfunding campaign for their startup ideas :bulb: and roadmap
Then donator can preview the contents of the campaign on whether or not to donate.

Please I have some questions to clear my doubts

  1. Any long term plans for mixing social and
    sharing media, or other promotional tools to
    enhance campaigns on your
    crowdfunding platform?
    Like on twitter.

  2. Hope there are plans for community management, including engagement, moderating discussions, and managing feedback and reviews on your crowdfunding platform?
    Any active social media for your project?

  3. Before i forget,
    Are the criteria or standard to be met before
    Using your platform?
    I’m asking in connection to
    What measures will you have in place to
    prevent fraud, scams, or unethical behavior
    on your crowdfunding platform?

Thank for detecting this, please kindly make sure that your browser have the tronlink pro extension installed, and change the network from mainnet to testnet, then reload the site. I will work on this fix. You can check the "project test instructions " on the project details for more info on interacting with the app.

Alright, I will try it later
Please hope answers for my questions soon
All the best

Crowdfunding, very good idea to help startup manage funds
The voting mechnism is also a great idea, this is what we need we need control over who we give our money to.
Kudos well done
You need to answer people’s questions in time also to have a shot at the community price as i see you havent been active.
Well done

Sorry, I haven’t been active due to …

Any long term plans for mixing social and
sharing media, or other promotional tools to
…?
Yes, social sharing buttons will be added to the platform that will make it easier for users to promote their projects and campaigns on social media, which can help to increase exposure and drive more funding.

I am planning on using a leaderboard system to regulate community engagement and active participate are giving badges.

the feedback, reviews and comment features are later update on the roadmap.

Are the criteria to be met before Using your platform?
currently no, but after the leaderboard system have been implemented users with badges will have more say in d platform.

measures for the crowdfunding platform?
the smart contract itself is secure and robust for funds transactions.
Active users with badges and donor have higher priority than new/inactive user.

Any active social media for your project?
I am currently focus on building, but u right :+1:, gratify social account will be created soon for updates, interaction etc.
