Overview

Crowdfunding has become one of the most powerful tools for supporting causes, startups, and communities. However, public trust in these platforms often falters due to a lack of transparency in how funds are collected, distributed, and spent. To address this, a client partnered with Infinity Technologies to build a blockchain-based crowdfunding platform leveraging the TON Crystal token as the core payment and transparency engine.

The vision was to eliminate doubt and manual verification by giving backers full visibility into how donations move — from contributor wallets to final beneficiaries — using blockchain’s immutable ledger capabilities.

Business Challenge

Traditional donation platforms often leave contributors in the dark. After they submit their funds, there’s no clear way to trace how that money is handled, whether it reaches the intended recipient, or how it’s allocated across various campaigns. In regions or campaigns with limited oversight, this creates distrust and reduces donor engagement.

The client wanted to introduce a new type of platform — one that:

  • Automatically and publicly tracks donation flows
  • Uses a native cryptocurrency to reduce fees and speed up settlements
  • Empowers donors to verify fund movement at any time
  • Encourages larger contributions through enhanced trust
  • Operates with minimal overhead and centralized bureaucracy

Our Solution

Infinity Technologies designed and built a decentralized crowdfunding platform that allows contributors to support campaigns using TON Crystal, the cryptocurrency of The Open Network (TON). Every contribution is recorded on-chain, and campaign owners can only withdraw funds in line with pre-agreed, auditable conditions.

Each project or cause registered on the platform has a unique wallet address associated with it. All transactions — whether deposits or withdrawals — are permanently recorded on the TON blockchain and are accessible through a public dashboard.

Donors can:

  • View live donation totals
  • Track individual transaction IDs
  • Confirm the recipient address and timestamp
  • Download logs for independent verification

Campaign owners can:

  • Set funding targets, deadlines, and usage breakdowns
  • Submit requests to release funds based on milestones
  • Automatically notify donors when milestones are achieved

This creates an environment of radical transparency, eliminating the need for manual audits and increasing donor confidence.

Key Features

  • Blockchain-based donation ledger with TON Crystal
  • Publicly visible smart contract addresses for each campaign
  • Real-time progress bar tied to verified contributions
  • Milestone-based disbursement approval
  • Notification system for backers on fund usage and campaign updates
  • Lightweight KYC layer for campaign owners (optional by jurisdiction)

Technology Stack

To ensure security, speed, and interoperability, the platform was built using the following components:

01
Smart Contracts
Written in Fift for TON blockchain
02
Wallet Integration
TON Wallet SDK, supporting mobile and desktop interfaces
03
Backend
Node.js with PostgreSQL for metadata and off-chain user profiles
04
Frontend
React with custom dashboards for both donors and campaign owners
05
Blockchain
TON blockchain for transaction recording, with support for Layer 1 and smart contract execution
06
Hosting and DevOps
Scalable deployment via Docker and Kubernetes on a secure cloud environment

Business Impact

The platform achieved a successful beta launch, gaining attention from early adopters in nonprofit fundraising and community-driven startup investment. Key results within the first two months included:

  • Over 1,000 verified contributions processed using TON Crystal
  • More than 30 live campaigns registered, with full on-chain traceability
  • Zero transaction disputes, as all payments and disbursements were verifiable on the public ledger
  • Donor engagement increased through transparent fund milestone updates
  • Campaign success rate improved due to higher contributor trust and confidence

Conclusion

Infinity Technologies helped deliver a next-generation crowdfunding platform that replaces blind trust with verifiable accountability. Built entirely on blockchain infrastructure, the platform brings a new level of credibility to donation-based fundraising and offers a repeatable blueprint for trust-based financial ecosystems.

This project reinforces our ability to build Web3-native platforms that drive real-world impact, enhance transparency, and bridge the gap between technology and human trust.
