The Ethereum project raises funds from the community for construction based on Kickstart.

The major problems with the current crowdfunding platforms that I wanted to solve were:

• Security: As the funds become larger, they need to be heavily secured. Although stringent measures such as symmetric encryption are in place to make e-payment safe and secure, it is still vulnerable to hacking. Blockchain, which has never been compromised yet, can provide that level of security.

• Transparency and Anti-Fraud: Many crowdfunding scams continue to happen. There is no way to see where the funds are being used. I wanted to make the entire flow of funds transparent at every stage, so that there is no possibility of the money being misused.

• Global contribution: With some platforms being country-specific, it becomes hard for people from other countries to contribute to various campaigns. Using blockchain, anyone in the world can contribute to the campaign. Transactions are quick and convenient.
