Vibestarter is a crowdfunding platform on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network, for software projects built primarily with AI coding tools. Rather than releasing the full amount raised to a creator upfront, Vibestarter holds contributions in smart-contract escrow and releases them over time: a funded project receives 10% immediately and the remaining 90% across six monthly tranches of 15% each. Before each tranche is released, backers have a 72-hour window in which they can challenge the release if the founder is not delivering against committed milestones. This release schedule and challenge process are enforced on-chain rather than by platform policy. Each project that raises on Vibestarter issues its own fixed-supply ERC-20 token to its backers, and VIBES is the platform's own native token.
