At any given point, investors can recover the funds that have not been released to the founders.

## What is Angor?

## License
Angor is a Bitcoin crowfunding platform, with 2 unique features:

Please visit and review the [Custom License](/LICENSE) before contributing.
1. Angor is **fully decentralized**, meaning there is no middleman involved in the investment process. Angor has no backend - the platform leverages the **Bitcoin network** for transaction processing, while **Nostr** is being used for decentralized storage of projects' metadata and direct communication with founders. Angor uses Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade for improved efficiency and privacy.

## Features
2. Bitcoins are released to the founders in **predetermined stages** via so-called time-lock contracts, allowing investors to **recover unspent funds at any time**. This framework provides investors with greater control, mitigates financial risk, and incentivizes founders to showcase tangible progress between stages.

Angor is a browser based platform that can be installed as PWA, it can be downloaded directly form the repo or accessed via the web.
