Crowdfunding where progress unlocks funding.
SOL stays in escrow. Community votes on each milestone. Creators get paid for real progress — and backers earn a share in every project they support.
Four steps. Zero middlemen.
Funding flows through a single Solana program. Backers approve milestones. Creators get paid only when work is verified.
Create
Define your project, milestones, and funding goal on Solana.
Fund
Backers send SOL directly to the smart contract escrow.
Vote
Backers vote on-chain to approve or reject each milestone.
Release
Approved? SOL transfers to the creator automatically.
Crowdfunding, but accountable.
Three principles enforced by code, not policy.
Funds locked until real progress is proven.
Too many projects raise money and disappear. Qadam holds every SOL in a smart contract — releases happen only after each milestone is approved. If a creator doesn't deliver, backers get refunded automatically.
- Funds split per milestone, not in one lump sum
- Auto-refund if a milestone is rejected
- Audited by OtterSec . contract is open source
Every milestone voted by the people who funded it.
No hidden algorithms. No opaque review process. Backers see the deliverables, ask questions in the comment thread, and cast a vote weighted by their contribution. You backed it — you vote.
- Vote weight from contribution, not wallet count
- 72-hour vote window per milestone
- Every vote stamped on Solana, queryable forever
You don't just donate — you earn ownership.
Every contribution mints non-transferable Ownership Points. Founder-tier backers earn the most and unlock voting weight on key decisions: future milestones, product direction, even revenue-share unlocks once a project ships.
- Three tiers: Founder, Patron, Supporter
- No equity dilution, no geography limits
- Revenue-share unlocks once milestones ship
