GoalZilla

GoalZilla is a next-gen decentralized crowdfunding platform that ensures fund transparency and accountability through milestone-based funding, peer-to-peer review, and gas-free funding options.

🌟 Why GoalZilla?

In almost every hackathon, we see crowdfunding DApps, but most of them suffer from the same problems:

• No control over fund usage – Funds are often misused after raising.

• Lack of trust – Backers have no assurance if their funds are spent wisely.

• High gas fees – Making micro-donations costly.

This is where GoalZilla changes the game. 🚀
