Signet · test coins

Plebly

Fund open Bitcoin work.
Protocol over platform.

Public escrow anyone can verify. No custodian in the middle.

Soft launch on signet. Next: 3-of-5 on mainnet.

Someone else holds the money

They can freeze it, redirect it, or sit on it. That is a queue. It is not escrow.

What we believe

This is the mainnet we are shipping.

Nobody holds the keys
Project funds sit in public Bitcoin escrow. Plebly cannot freeze, redirect, or take them. Five keyholders sign. The org holds none.
The record is public
Proposals live in Plebly/proposals. Anyone can fork it. GitHub is not the last copy.
Rules over discretion
Fees and payout rules are published in git. Changes happen in the open.

How it works

  1. Propose. Name the problem. Say what done looks like.
  2. Donate. Send Bitcoin to the project’s public address. No account.
  3. Build. Hit the floor. A builder applies. A small bond holds the place.
  4. Pay. Reviewers check the work. Payment goes out monthly.

Lightning lands in that same address on mainnet. Unpaid invoices do not count. Floor: 100,000 sats mainnet · 10,000 sats signet.

Plebly

Fund open Bitcoin work. Protocol over platform.

Public escrow anyone can verify. No custodian in the middle.

The org never holds the keys

Plebly runs

  • The site and the API
  • PRs into public git
  • Fee and balance checks
  • Claims and funding windows

Keyholders run

  • The production spending keys
  • Every escrow release
  • A public stall if they must wait
  • Refunds with no platform cut

Mainnet is 3-of-5. Two seats stay independent. One key per person. Stall is public, not silent.

Same job, different custody

Holds the sats Allocates Record Fee
GitHub Sponsors GitHub Sponsor → maintainer GitHub Platform cut
OpenSats / Brink / Spiral Org treasury Board Org reports Grant org
Geyser Campaign checkout Backers Geyser site Platform fee
Plebly (mainnet) 3-of-5 keyholders You pick a proposal Git, forkable 5% at payout

That last row is the mainnet we are shipping.

What's live. What's next.

The site is up on signet. Proposals, donations, claims, and review already run. Mainnet is the flip: 3-of-5 escrow and the first real cycle.

The nonprofit-track grant

A fiscal host or a direct operator grant gets mainnet over the line.

This room can fill those seats. That is the real ask.

Protocol over platform.
