I built a fundraising platform for indie devs — where backers get their money back if it flops

Short summary

Keep enables non-custodial fundraising on Solana where indie developers raise capital from users and backers get refunds if the project fails to hit market price gates by day 30. The protocol uses liquidity pool unwinding and pro-rata refund distribution to recover ~95% of failed raises, incentivizing holders to stay patient. Implementation solves Solana's 4KB stack constraints and ensures refunds remain accessible even when the protocol is frozen.

  • Non-custodial protocol automatically refunds backers if project fails market price gate by day 30
  • Token split: 60% to backers, 30% seeded into Raydium pool, 10% to founder (success-path vesting)
  • Failed raises recover ~95% via LP unwinding; refunds distributed pro-rata only to token holders who didn't panic-sell
