Create an Open Fundraiser
Learn how to create your project in a few simple steps.
Open Funding, also known as Take-it-all, is a crowdfunding model where you receive contributions immediately as people send them. There is no funding goal or deadline, and funds are paid directly to your wallet.
This model is flexible and fast, but relies more heavily on trust between creators and contributors.
How does it work?
You launch a project without setting a funding goal or end date.
Contributors can support your project at any time.
Each contribution is sent directly to your wallet as it is made.
There is no minimum amount required to receive funds.
How does it work technically?
Open Funding uses direct Bitcoin payments rather than locked smart contracts.
Contributions are sent straight from the contributor to the creator’s wallet
Funds are not held or escrowed by Geyser or any smart contract
Payments are settled immediately, either on-chain or via Lightning
Once a contribution is made, it cannot be automatically refunded by the protocol
Because funds move directly between wallets, this model is simple, fast, and fully non-custodial, but it depends more on the creator’s reputation and the contributor’s trust.
