Description

Presenting Angor a decentralized crowdfunding platform

What is this talk about? Give us as many details as possible.

Angor is a platform with two unique features:

  1. Angor is fully decentralized, meaning there is no middleman involved in the investment process. Angor has no backend – the platform leverages the Bitcoin network for transaction processing, while Nostr is being used for decentralized storage of projects' metadata and direct communication with founders. Angor uses Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade for improved efficiency and privacy.

  2. Bitcoins are released to the founders in predetermined stages via timelock contracts, allowing investors to recover unspent funds at any time. This framework provides investors with greater control, mitigates financial risk, and incentivizes founders to showcase tangible progress between stages.

What would an attendee learn from this talk?

Overview of how Angor works under the hood, the taproot scripts that are used and how we leverage Nostr.
