Create an All-or-Nothing campaign
All-or-Nothing is a crowdfunding model where you only receive the funds if your project reaches its funding goal within a set time period. If the goal is not reached, all contributions are automatically returned to contributors.
This model creates clear expectations for both creators and supporters and helps build trust around ambitious or early-stage projects.
How does it work?
You set a funding goal and choose how long the campaign will run, from 1 to 60 days.
Contributors can support your project during this time.
Contributions are locked until the campaign ends.
If the goal is reached before the deadline, the funds are released to your connected wallet.
If the goal is not reached, contributors receive their funds back and the project is closed.
How does it work technically?
All-or-Nothing funding on Geyser is powered by an open-source smart contract deployed on Rootstock, a Bitcoin-secured smart contract network.
Contributions are locked in a non-custodial smart contract
Neither Geyser nor the creator can access the funds unless the funding goal is reached
The rules of the campaign are enforced by the contract, not by a platform or intermediary
If the goal is not reached, contributors can claim their refunds directly from the contract
The smart contract code is fully open source and publicly available on GitHub, allowing anyone to review how funds are handled and how success or refunds are enforced.
