Hold funds in escrow
Capital is set aside for the campaign instead of being paid to the builder upfront.
Funding the autonomous future
Funding for robotics and AI, tied to progress.
Soltechnics is developing a Solana protocol where campaign funds stay in escrow and builders are paid as agreed milestones are verified.

The final contract, voting, and verification rules will be published before launch.
The problem
The hardest work begins after the campaign is funded.
Conventional crowdfunding can transfer capital long before a product is proven. That leaves backers exposed when a project stalls and makes trust harder to earn for teams doing serious engineering.
Robotics and AI require evidence that a pitch deck cannot supply: tested hardware, runnable code, and documented results. Soltechnics is designed to connect funding to that evidence.
The proposed model
A defined path from commitment to payout.
Each campaign would state the work, the evidence required, and the funding attached to each milestone.
Show completed work
The builder submits agreed proof, such as tests, a working prototype, or code.
Pay for verified progress
Approved work unlocks a tranche. Unreleased funds remain subject to the claim rules.
Who it serves
Clarity for both sides of a campaign.
Funding tied to delivery.
Set a credible roadmap, show the work, and access reserved capital when agreed milestones are completed.
For buildersVisibility before release.
Understand the milestones and inspect progress before each stage of funding moves.
For backersFocus areas
Technology that can be tested.
Robotics
Drones, prosthetics, assistants, and automated systems with working hardware.
Applied AI
Focused models and algorithms with runnable code and measurable results.
Future hardware
Physical products that need prototypes, validation, and iteration.
