Project: FundMyChai – Web3 Crowdfunding for India’s Creators

Category: Social Impact / Creator Economy

Difficulty: Beginner – Intermediate

🧠 Core Idea:

A crypto-native crowdfunding platform for creators, indie hackers, or students. Contributors fund projects transparently, and every rupee raised is traceable. Create milestone-based fund release logic, so funds are unlocked only when progress is validated (on-chain or off-chain).

🛠️ Tech Stack Ideas:

• Smart Contracts: Solidity with milestone funding logic
• Frontend: Next.js + Metamask / WalletConnect
• Payments: ETH, MATIC, USDC support
• Infra: Celo, Polygon, or Avalanche

🗃️ Data Sources:

• Simulated creator projects (art, tech, music)
• Sample donation amounts & milestones from Kickstarter, Ketto, Milaap
• Optional: use WorldCoin or phone# proof to stop spam

🧩 Bonus Ideas:

• NFT for donors (e.g., “Early Supporter”)
• DAO governance to approve/dispute milestone completions
• Desi flavor: Raise funds for gaushala, artist events, local causes
