Crowdfunding platform “Kickstarter” plans to develop its own open source protocol. The protocol will essentially create a decentralized version of Kickstarter’s core functionality. The company announced plans for the development on its website in early December 2021.

With the development of the open-source protocol, Kickstarter aims to bring its eponymous crowdfunding platform to the blockchain. The company chose Celo as its blockchain platform because it is open source and carbon-negative. Going forward, Kickstarter aims to promote an open, collaborative and decentralized future.
