View DocsWhat is ODV?
ODV (One Dollar Vote) is a decentralized crowdfunding platform built on the SOON network (SVM rollup). We reimagine project funding by democratizing access to capital - where 1,000 people backing your project at $1 each is more powerful than one VC writing a check.
- •Traditional crowdfunding platforms take 5-15% fees
- •Creators wait weeks for fund release
- •No transparency in where money goes
- •Geographic restrictions limit global access
- 0% platform fees (only blockchain gas)
- Milestone-based fund release (trustless escrow)
- 100% transparent on-chain transactions
- Global access, anyone with a wallet can participate
How It Works
Fill out a simple form: title, description, funding goal, and milestones. No 50-page pitch deck required.
Your project is deployed as a smart contract on SOON network. All milestones, deadlines, and funding goals are immutably stored.
Each backer sends $1 (in USDC) directly to the escrow smart contract. No intermediary holds the funds.
Creator builds the project and submits proof of milestone completion (links, screenshots, videos).
After admin review (community voting coming soon), funds allocated to that milestone are released from escrow to creator.
For Creators
Clear Project Description
What are you building and why?
Defined Milestones
Break work into deliverable chunks
Realistic Timeline
Set achievable deadlines
Web3 Wallet
Phantom, Backpack, or compatible
No lengthy approval processes. Submit your project, initialize on-chain, and start fundraising same day.
Keep 100% of funds raised. Only pay minimal blockchain gas fees (typically $0.01-0.10 per transaction).
Funds release as you complete work. Builds trust with backers and protects everyone involved.
For Backers
Trustless Escrow Protection
Your $1 is locked in a smart contract. Creators can only withdraw funds after completing milestones.
Track Real Progress
See exactly what milestone the creator is working on, view proof of completion, and track timeline.
Verify On-Chain
Every transaction is public on SOON Explorer. Verify your backing, fund releases, and campaign status anytime.

- Early access to project launches (creator's discretion)
- Recognition as a supporter (public backer badge)
- Join the builder community (Discord, updates, behind-the-scenes)
- Creator may offer perks (airdrops, NFTs, credits - optional)

We believe in democratizing funding. $1 is low enough that anyone globally can participate, but high enough to show genuine support. It's about community validation, not wealth gatekeeping.
Funds are locked in escrow and released per milestone. If a creator stops delivering, remaining funds can be refunded to backers (currently admin-controlled, soon community-governed).
For testing: Use our Test USDC Faucet. For mainnet: Buy USDC on exchanges (Coinbase, Binance) and bridge to SOON network, or use on-ramp services like MoonPay.
Currently, one backing per wallet per project. This ensures fair distribution and prevents whale dominance. Want to support more? Share the project with friends!
Yes! Anyone with a web3 wallet and internet can create or back projects. No KYC, no geographic restrictions. Blockchain is borderless.
