Introduction

Decentralized crowdfunding

We're shaking up how Bitcoin crowdfunding works. Angor is a decentralized protocol, uniquely merging the security of Bitcoin with the transparency of Nostr. Investors funds are released in stages through time-lock contracts. Unspent funds can be recovered at any point, ensuring that investors maintain control and aligning the interests of investors and founders.

  • Investor Empowerment
  • Founder Advantage
  • Transparent Platform
Behind the Tech

Angor has no backend and is open source

It relies on Bitcoin explorers and Nostr relays, which users can run on their own.

  • Tech stack:
  • Multisig 2-of-2 for revocation
  • Taproot for efficiency
  • Time-lock contracts (CLTV, CSV) for milestones
  • Nostr protocol for comms and web of trust
  • Hash locks for group revocation

🚀Getting Started

What is Angor?

Angor is fully decentralized, with no middleman involved in the investment process. It has no backend and uses the Bitcoin and Nostr protocols to achieve this.

How does Angor work?

Angor leverages Bitcoin's scripting language to program spending conditions like timelocks, hashlocks, and multisig. Each project milestone is represented as a UTXO, releasing funds over time using timelocks, while a 2-of-2 multisig allows investors to exit if needed, when an investor exists a project their Bitcoin becomes locked for the duration of a predefined penalty.

Do I need permission to use Angor?
