How does CoFunders work?

CoFunders is reward crowdfunding. You back a project with digital dollars. Your pledge waits in escrow until the goal is reached, then goes to the creator, who may send you a reward. If the goal is missed, you take your pledge back, minus the fees you paid when you backed.

Key facts

• Your balance is held in digital dollars, a token designed to stay at one dollar. It isn't a bank deposit.
• Your account is protected by keys held on your device, and you can export your account key.
• Backing costs a platform fee of 1.5% plus a flat fee of $0.99 per pledge.
• Money sitting in your account has a weekly holding cost. Money pledged to campaigns doesn't.
• Staking is separate from backing a campaign and isn't a CoFunders product.
