Lendra brings crowdfunding fully on-chain.

Launch a circle — a smart-contract campaign with a goal, deadline, and supported assets (ETH, USDT, USDC, and more) — and let contributors back you directly from their wallet. We're starting on Base for fast, low-cost transactions, with multi-chain support to follow.

Every contribution is public, verifiable, and yours.

Why we built this

Crowdfunding is one of the internet's most useful primitives, but it's been stuck on Web2 rails for fifteen years: payment processors, manual payouts, opaque ledgers, days-long settlement, and a stack of intermediaries between the creator and the people backing them. Meanwhile, the audience most likely to fund new ideas — builders, communities, on-chain creators — already lives in their wallets. The gap between those two facts is the reason Lendra exists.

How a circle works

A circle is a smart contract. The creator sets the parameters: a fundraising goal, a deadline, and which tokens the circle accepts. From there, anyone can contribute directly from their wallet — no account, no checkout flow, no payment processor in the path. The contract enforces the rules. The ledger is public by default. When the circle closes, settlement is programmatic.

Creators choose between two collection models:

• Full-goal circles — all-or-nothing. The creator collects only if the goal is met by the deadline, the model that gives backers the strongest guarantee.

• Partial collection — the creator collects whatever was raised, even if the goal isn't fully met. Useful for personal causes, ongoing initiatives, and campaigns where any amount of support is meaningful.

What's gonna be live in the beta (May 6th)

User-launched circles are live on Base on May 6. Anyone can deploy a campaign in minutes, share the link, and start accepting on-chain contributions in ETH, USDC, or USDT. A discover feed makes it easy to browse active circles by category and back the ones that resonate. New supported assets can be added via an on-chain TokenRegistry, so the platform grows with the ecosystem rather than being gated by us.

We're running a series of launch campaigns through the beta period — community circles, builder showcases, and themed funding rounds — to seed early activity and help creators reach their first contributors.

What's next

The roadmap goes well beyond donations. Investment circles with on-chain repayment tracking are next, opening the door to wallet-native lending and equity-style backing — campaigns where contributors aren't just supporters but stakeholders, with repayment terms enforced by code rather than trust. Beyond that, we're building toward Lendra as a clarity and analytics layer for the entire on-chain funding stack: portfolio views for backers, performance data for creators, and a shared, verifiable record of how capital actually moves between them.

This is a beta. Things will change, edges will be rough, and we want to hear about both. The fastest way to help shape Lendra is to use it — launch a circle, back one, and tell us what's missing.
