Geyser 소개
Geyser is a Bitcoin-native crowdfunding platform where creators raise in satoshis through Lightning and on-chain donations, aimed at open-source projects, community events and small production runs. Conventional crowdfunding depends on account systems and payment rails, adding friction to cross-border collection and refunds, and if funds move before a target is met, creators face little delivery pressure and backers have no enforceable recourse.
The all-or-nothing mode locks funds in a Rootstock contract, releasing to the creator once the goal is hit and returning the original amount otherwise, with no fee on unsuccessful campaigns; Bitcoin and Lightning payments convert through Boltz into an asset the contract recognises, keeping one currency for donors. Funds release by milestone, each requiring delivery evidence and approval from a preset share of backers, the platform covers network fees, and refunds become claimable at expiry. The mode launched in November 2025.
In January 2026 Geyser's All-or-Nothing crowdfunding contract went live on Rootstock mainnet, followed in April by Prism, which supports continuous fundraising without a fixed goal; the two tools have processed a cumulative 2.29 RBTC, and Rootstock-linked active wallets grew from 2 in December 2025 to 46 by May 2026. In July the two founders' Builder Activation proposal was approved by RootstockCollective with an initial Backer Reward of 72%.
During 2026 Geyser closed open project creation and kept only vetted Circular Grants: a Field Partner nominates a local small business, capital carries no repayment obligation, and recipients may voluntarily pay forward into a community fund, with a stated goal of 12 Field Partners and 24 grants by 2027. On September 3 a Cuba Bitcoin application was rejected because its wallet failed a sanctions screen; co-founder Michele Morucci responded that sanctions rules sit outside the company's control, triggering a public argument over the limits of compliance.
Geyser will expand slowly through Circular Grants and Field Partners, using controlled scale to prove the safeguards; technically it will keep using Rootstock for non-custodial fundraising logic, with the next phase productising Prism's payment routing and fee allocation.
