CRUND
Tip creators instantly with PYUSD and verify every payment on Blockscout
Project Description
Crund is a decentralized platform that empowers creators to receive instant, borderless payments in PayPal USD. Fans can tip using PYUSD, while every transaction and creator goal is publicly verifiable on Blockscout for full transparency.
Creators can define multiple funding goals, track progress on-chain, and claim rewards instantly, building trust and sustainability in the creator economy through real-world stablecoin payments.
How it's Made
We built Crund using a Solidity smart contract deployed on Sepolia testnet to manage creator registration, PYUSD donations, subscriptions, and goal-based fund distribution. Each creator stores metadata (name, avatar, bio) and their funding goals (title, description, target, allocation %) on IPFS for decentralized storage using Irys.
When a fan tips or subscribes, the contract automatically splits the PYUSD payment across active goals using the official PayPal USD (PYUSD) ERC-20 token. Goal progress and all transactions are indexed and visualized with Blockscout SDK, providing transparent, verifiable on-chain data.
The frontend is built with Next.js, Wagmi, RainbowKit, and Ethers.js, offering wallet-based interactions with no logins.
