Every donation you've made on GoFundMe is public.
➠ Your name
➠ The exact amount
➠ The date
Sitting on a page anyone can open, scrape, or screenshot.
For most campaigns that's harmless. For some, it's the reason people don't give and the reason recipients or donors gets hurt.
Think about who actually needs to raise money quietly.
➠ A woman funding an abortion in a state that criminalized it.
➠ A family covering a psychiatric stay they don't want on record.
➠ Someone supporting a defector or a journalist under a repressive regime.
➠ A cancer patient who hasn't told their employer.
Public donor lists put all of them at risk.
The usual answer is "just use crypto."
That's worse, not better.
A blockchain donation is public and permanent the moment it confirms. Anyone can trace it to a wallet, and that wallet is almost always linked to an identity through an exchange, an ENS name, or a past transaction.
Crypto didn't add PRIVACY here. It removed the delete button.
We built Confidential GoFundMe (@privategofundme) to close the gap.
It's a crowdfunding dApp where each donor's contribution is encrypted on-chain.
The campaign total is public, you can see a goal is 80% funded. But how much any one person gave stays
private. Not visible to other donors, not to the public, not to us.
Here's how that works ⬇️
