Back.
When you back a project, the funds do not go to a personal wallet. They are locked in a smart contract until the work is shown.
Pitch. Vote. Build.
A trustless kickstarter for robotics and AI.
Funds for a build stay locked on Solana until the work is proven. Backers are not paying for a promise. Builders are not guessing in the dark.
The market pays for hope.
A hyped project raises money on a flying car or a revolutionary bot. A year later the founders are gone, and backers have a broken link. In robotics and AI that is worse: hardware needs real tests, and software needs to run, not just look good in a render.
Independent developers rarely have the budget to find out what people actually need. They build on instinct, launch, and hear nothing, because the problem was imaginary. On the other side, one person who needs a local model or a small home robot cannot justify hiring someone for a job that costs thousands. The money and the work never meet.
Prove.
A builder is paid only for what they deliver. A finished blueprint can release one part. A robotic arm, shown working, releases the next. Code in a repository releases another. Those shares are set per project. Ten percent and twenty percent are examples, not a fixed rate.
Reclaim.
If a project stops halfway, the unpaid remainder can be claimed by the people who backed it. The early, risky stretch is the builder's own time, so faking a milestone costs more than it pays.
Robotics.
Drones, prosthetics, and home assistants. Machines that have to be tested, not rendered.
Applied AI.
Local networks and algorithms that automate a real task, built because someone asked for them.
Hardware.
Physical technology that has to be made. A pitch deck is not the product.
For backers.
The code holds the funds. If the work stops, what was not earned can be claimed back.

For builders.
You are not waiting on a fund to say yes. If people want the thing, the payment for a finished milestone is already reserved. Demand shows up before months go into a product nobody asked for.

FAQ
What is Soltechnics?
A community-owned funding protocol for AI and robotics on Solana. People pool funds for something that needs to be built. Builders get paid when they prove the work.
Why not a normal crowdfunding campaign?
On a traditional platform you pay today and hope for a result later. If the team quits, the money is gone. Robotics and AI need real tests and real code, not a render.
Where does the money go?
Into a smart contract, not a founder's wallet. It stays locked until a milestone is proven. The holding account, the vote, and the claim stay on that contract.
When does a builder get paid?
Only after the work is shown. A blueprint, a working prototype, or code in a repository can each release its own part of the funds. The split is set for that project. Ten percent for a blueprint and twenty percent for a demonstrated arm are examples from the plan, not a universal price.
What if a project stalls halfway?
The part that was not released stays locked, and backers can claim it. Builders spend their own time on the early work, so pretending a milestone is done costs them more than it pays.
What kinds of projects can be funded?
Robotics, applied AI, and physical hardware: drones, prosthetics, home assistants, local models, and other machines that have to exist in the world.
I have an idea, but I can't hire a developer alone.
People with the same need can name it together and fund one build, instead of each person paying for a custom job they cannot afford.
I'm a builder. Why use this instead of a VC?
The payment for a delivered milestone is reserved by the people who want the thing. You can see demand before you spend months on a product nobody asked for.
Is Soltechnics live?
The protocol is in beta. This page is the waitlist: a Solana address. Projects are not taking funds here yet.
