What you’ll learn

What is crowdfunding on Boundless?
Creators launch campaigns with a funding goal and (optionally) a milestone structure. Backers contribute XLM; funds go into escrow. When the creator completes a milestone and it’s approved, that portion of the funds is released to the creator. If milestones aren’t met, backers are protected by the escrow rules. So: backers don’t pay upfront into a black box; creators get paid incrementally as they deliver.Key concepts

| Milestone structure | How much of the raised funds release for each deliverable. See Milestone structure. |
