How CrowdPaid works

That is the entire mechanism. The campaign is not asked, does not sign up and has nothing to set. It keeps its own page on its own platform and carries on as it was.

The half that happens on chain can be checked without trusting this site at all: every claim links out to a block explorer. The half that happens off chain, the payout itself, is listed here with the amount, the campaign and the coins it came from.

There is one venue. A coin is launched on pump.fun, on Solana, and that is the only place this site reads fees from. A coin created anywhere else cannot pay a campaign through it.

pump.fun pays a coin’s creator fees to the wallet that created it. Every coin here is created by CrowdPaid, from a wallet derived for that one coin, so two things are true at once: the fees accrue here from the coin’s first second, and one coin’s fees never sit in the same pot as another’s. That is what makes a claim readable per coin.

What the launcher does after

Nothing. There is no step to perform and nothing to hand over.

The launcher pays 0.1 SOL once. This site also buys 0.01 SOL of the new coin when it is created, with its own SOL rather than the launcher’s, and the form prints both before anything is signed.

A campaign is a real fundraiser, read from its own public page. Nothing about it is typed in here: the title, the picture, the amount raised, the goal, the number of donations, the organiser and the place all come from the page itself, on the date shown beside them.

The coin carries one line about it, and CrowdPaid writes that line, not the launcher. It names the platform and the campaign and links to its page:

Launched on CrowdPaid. Creator fees from this coin are pointed at the GoFundMe campaign the campaign’s own title: its link

It says that and stops. It does not call the campaign a partner, does not say it is verified or has endorsed anything, and states no share and no timing, because none of that would be true. The form shows the exact line before you launch.

The catalogue holds a spread of campaigns across eight causes, but it is not the limit: paste the link of any live fundraiser on the three platforms into the launch form and it is read in and listed.

GoFundMe, JustGiving and GlobalGiving are treated the same way. Each has its own reader, because each keeps its figures differently, and all three end up as the same kind of record here.

A campaign raises in its own currency, and its own figures are always shown in it. Where a dollar figure sits beside them, for a total that has to add across platforms, it is converted at the rate read when the campaign was read.

None of the three receives cryptocurrency, so a payout is made the way anybody else would give to that fundraiser, and what is recorded here is the amount, the campaign, the coins behind it and the receipt it went under.

Creator fees do not arrive on their own. They build up at the venue until somebody claims them, and for a coin pointed here that is CrowdPaid. A claim is one transaction on Solana, and it carries the amount in SOL, what that was worth in dollars, when it happened and the signature it happened under.

What this site keeps of the creator fees

None of it.

What this site charges

The 0.1 SOL launch fee, once, per coin.

Who pays the network fees

This site, out of that launch fee.

What is published

Every claim, every payout, and the campaign each one went to.

What is not published

Timing. No schedule for a payout has been set.

A coin that nobody trades earns nothing, so there is nothing to claim and nothing to route. One payout can cover several coins, because one campaign can be named by more than one.

$CROWDPAID, the coin this site will have of its own, is not part of any of that. It takes no share of a creator fee and no share of a payout. Section 9 says what it is and what it is not.

Money sits in one of three states here, and this site shows all three rather than folding them together.

1. 1

   At the venue

   Earned by trading and not claimed yet. It shows as pending against the coin.
2. 2

   Owed

   Claimed on chain and not yet with the campaign. From the moment it is claimed it is the campaign’s money; owed is this site holding it, not keeping it.
3. 3

   Routed

   Sent to the campaign on its own platform, and listed with the coins it came from.

The capital flow page shows how much is in each state at this moment, and the payments page lists every payout.

You do not have to do anything for this to work, and you were not asked to agree to it either. Money that reaches a fundraiser is that fundraiser’s, and this site has no say over how it is spent and no part in running one.

1. 1

   A coin names your campaign

   Somebody launches a coin and points its creator fees at your fundraiser.
2. 2

   Fees build up and are claimed

   Trading in that coin earns creator fees, and CrowdPaid claims them on chain.
3. 3

   The fees are routed to you

   The payout is made to your fundraiser on its own platform, like any other gift.
4. 4

   It is listed here

   The amount, the campaign and the coins behind it are added to the public list.

If you would rather no coin named your campaign, the opt out page takes it off these lists and stops any new coin being pointed at it. What that can and cannot change is set out there.

Every figure is either read from something that happened or reads zero. Nothing is filled in to make a page look busier than it is.

A dash

The figure was not available when the page was read.

A zero

It was counted, and the answer was nothing.

A campaign’s own figures

Read from its page on the date shown beside them, and not live since.

A market cap

Read from the venue, and moving while you look at it.

A dollar amount on a claim

The value recorded at the moment that claim settled.

CrowdPaid is its own project. It reads the venue, it claims the fees and it routes them. GoFundMe, JustGiving and GlobalGiving run the fundraisers that coins point at, and pump.fun runs the place coins are launched. None of them runs this, none has approved it, and none was asked.

A campaign’s page, its words and its pictures belong to the people who made it. This site links to a campaign and names it. It does not speak for one, does not collect on one’s behalf and has no say over how a fundraiser spends what it raises.

This site will have a coin of its own, $CROWDPAID. Until it exists the site says so and nothing else; when it exists its address is published here. It is separate from the fee route: holding it is not a claim on any creator fee, on any payout or on anything a campaign receives, and it changes nothing about where a launched coin’s fees go. Disclosures says the same in full.

A launch that has not appeared is usually one of these, in the order they tend to happen.

1. 1

   The fee has not settled

   Signed, but not confirmed on chain yet. The launch page keeps checking.
2. 2

   The coin is still being created

   The create has been sent to the venue and is waiting to confirm. Nothing needs doing.
3. 3

   The launch failed

   The venue refused the create or the network dropped it. The launch is marked failed and the fee is held for a refund by hand.
4. 4

   The draft expired

   A draft that was never paid for expires on its own. Start another; nothing was charged.
5. 5

   It is very recent

   The chain is read in passes, so a coin created moments ago may not be read yet.

Launching can also be closed. This site pays for the create and the dev buy out of its own wallet, so when that wallet cannot cover them the form says so and refuses the draft. Nothing is charged while it is closed: the fee is only ever paid against a launch that can finish.

A coin that exists on the venue is never left orphaned: it is checked against the chain again and listed once it is found. A coin on pump.fun is not this site’s to delete, which is the difference between taking one off these lists and removing it, and the Terms of Use say when this site does the first.
