Lendra
Lendra — Crowdfunding, On-Chain
Product Overview
Lendra is a crowdfunding platform that runs funding circles on-chain. Creators and communities can launch a circle with an on-chain goal, a clear deadline, and rules written into a smart contract that anyone can read.
Backers contribute directly from their wallets, and contributions are public and verifiable on-chain. Donation circles are available in the public beta, while investment circles—adding repayment and promised returns—are listed on the roadmap.
Key features
- Launch a funding circle with an on-chain goal, deadline, and contract-readable rules
- Run donation circles as pure crowdfunding with transparent, verifiable mechanics
- Track live progress in the app, including partial fills when enabled
- Use standard all-or-nothing rounds where meeting the goal enables collection and missing the goal enables withdrawals
- Support multiple supported assets for contributions (e.g., ETH, USDT, USDC)
How Lendra works
- 1
Start or join a circle
A user launches a circle with a goal, deadline, token, and rules, or selects an existing circle to back.
- 2
Contribute from a wallet
Backers fund the circle directly from their wallet using supported assets.
- 3
Follow on-chain outcomes
The circle enforces the stated mechanics on-chain, including collection when goals are met or withdrawals when they are not.
Use cases
- A creator wants to raise funds for a project and publish fundraising terms (goal, deadline, and rules) directly in a smart contract so backers can verify them on-chain.
- A community group runs a time-boxed donation campaign and needs clear outcomes: collect if the goal is met, otherwise allow contributors to withdraw what they sent.
- A team planning a structured round wants investment circles on the roadmap, where repayment and promised returns are tracked on-chain after collection and repayment scheduling begins.
Who is it for?
Lendra benefits creators and community organizers who want crowdfunding terms that are transparent and verifiable on-chain. It also fits backers who prefer wallet-native contributions with public, on-chain contribution and progress tracking.
