Opening soonTransparent giving, rebuilt for 2026

Every euro, on the record

Give to people and charities you can check. Your donation waits in a locked account and is released in three steps — only when donors approve the receipts.

See how the proof worksPay by card. No crypto knowledge needed.
Example campaign
01

Locked until it's needed

Every donation goes into a locked account for that one campaign. Nobody can move it on a whim — not even us.

02

Paid out in steps

The money is released in three equal steps. Before each one, donors see the receipts and vote.

03

Your money comes back

If a campaign falls short or donors reject the receipts, you get your share back — or pass it to the Emergency Pool.

How it works

Give in a minute. Follow it to the last cent.

You don't need to understand blockchains. You just give — the record keeps itself.

  1. 1

    Choose a verified campaign

    Every organisation is checked by our team before it can raise money. Individuals verify their identity first.

  2. 2

    Give by card or crypto wallet

    Log in with email or Google and pay by card. Your account is created for you — no network fees to pay.

  3. 3

    Vote on the receipts

    When the next step is due, the fundraiser shows what the money paid for. You vote. Your vote counts as much as you gave.

How your money is protected

Three steps. Donors hold the keys.

Step 1 is paid out as soon as the campaign succeeds. Steps 2 and 3 wait until enough donors have voted and most of them approve the receipts.

  • Voting is open for 24 hours
  • Donors who gave half of the money must vote
  • More than half must approve
  • Rejected? The rest goes back to donors

Charity Market Cap

A public ranking of trust, not hype.

Every charity gets a Trust Score from 0 to 100, built from donor ratings, campaigns that succeeded, approved receipts and evidence delivered on time. The formula is public and versioned.

Charities from public registries in Slovenia, the UK and the US are listed too — capped at 40 until they join and get verified.

Emergency Pool

No donation is wasted.

Money from campaigns that fall short can go to a shared pool. Its donors vote which live campaigns it helps next — and it can only ever go to campaigns on CHERR.IO.

How the pool works
#proof

Every donation, on the blockchain.

For sceptics, journalists and auditors: each campaign is its own contract on Polygon. Every donation, vote and payout is public and can be checked by anyone.

Questions

Straight answers.

All questions →
Do I need crypto to donate?

No. Log in with your email or Google and pay by card. We create an account for you in the background, and we cover the network costs. If you already have a crypto wallet, you can use that too.

What does CHERR.IO cost?

A 1% platform fee, taken only when money is paid out to the fundraiser. Donors pay no platform fee.

What happens if a campaign doesn't reach its goal?

A campaign succeeds once it reaches 10% of its goal by the deadline. If it doesn't, every donor can take their money back or pass it on to the Emergency Pool.

Who checks the charities?

Our team reviews every organisation by hand before it can raise money. Individuals raising money for themselves verify their identity and are always paid in three steps.

Is my personal data on the blockchain?

No. The blockchain shows only an account address, never your name or email. Receipts with personal details are stored privately; only their fingerprint is public. You can delete your account at any time.

I had an account on the old CHERR.IO.

Thank you for being early. The new platform starts with a clean slate, so old accounts are not moved over. We'll invite you by email when we open.
