Keep offers refundable fundraising for indie devs on Solana

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Keep is a new onchain fundraising platform for independent developers, built on Solana. It allows backers to automatically receive refunds if the project fails to meet a market price gate at day 7 or 30. The protocol uses a non-custodial design where refunds are paid from recovered liquidity pool funds, not from a company account.

Meridian48 take
The refund mechanism is clever but relies on the project token maintaining a minimum price, which may still leave backers exposed to market volatility and early dumps.
