The Frictionless
Web3 Funding Portal
for Schools
Bridging traditional Web2 user experiences with robust Web3 settlement, modernizing how public-interest funds are routed to Australian schools.
Schools fundraise with slow, opaque processes.
- Current fundraising is heavily reliant on manual bank transfers and cash.
- Lack of transparent ledgers means donors cannot trace their contributions.
- High fees from traditional fundraising platforms eat into the collected funds.
- Web3 solutions exist, but everyday parents are alienated by crypto wallets and gas fees.
Familiar payments settled transparently on-chain.
- Donors use standard bank transfers (Osko/PayID) with zero Web3 friction.
- Funds are automatically minted as AUDD stablecoins and routed to the school's smart contract.
- Strictly non-custodial architecture — the platform acts as a secure GPS, never a bank vault.
- 100% transparent on-chain settlement that guarantees trust and accountability.
How it Works
A seamless, compliant process from donation to DGR tax receipt.
Osko/PayID Transfer
Parents donate via familiar bank transfers. No wallets or crypto knowledge required.
Direct Fiat Routing
Payments route directly to a Licensed Third-Party Anchor, never touching a platform treasury.
AUDD Minting
The anchor mints AUDD (Stellar Stablecoin) directly into the school's Soroban Smart Contract Vault.
Pledge Confirmation
Donor receives a confirmation. Funds are held in conditional escrow via the smart contract.
Official Tax Receipt
Generated only when the campaign hits 100% and the verified payout is triggered to the school.
Non-Custodial Architecture
Built to avoid triggering onerous Australian AFSL or DCE requirements.
No Platform Treasury
Scholarsgate never holds, touches, or routes fiat currency or crypto assets through a platform-owned wallet.
Non-CustodialSmart Contract Escrow
Funds are held securely in conditional escrow. Automated refunds guarantee safety if a campaign fails to hit its target.
Automated RefundsDGR Tax Compliance
A strict two-step validation architecture ensures tax receipts are only issued upon verified campaign success and payout.
ATO CompliantWeb2 Abstraction
The frontend feels exactly like a traditional SaaS product, completely abstracting wallets, gas fees, and smart contracts.
