![]() ![]() Currently, a large number of heavily populated regions outside of North America and Europe - including Latin America and Southeast Asia - lack access to Kickstarter’s established user base and built-in marketing tools. Using blockchain in the first place was ostensibly meant to open use of its crowdfunding platform to a wider global audience. Kickstarter claims that won’t happen - any new tools will first be tested by an independent organisation outlined in its initial letter - and that all rollouts will exist first as proofs of concept available to willing users.Ĭritically, Kickstarter did not say that wide scale integration won’t eventually happen - the company will just be more transparent about what to expect and when. Many creators and backers were concerned over last year’s surprise announcement and worried that their already planned projects would have to use a technology they don’t endorse. ![]() “It’s our responsibility to make sure they serve creators, backers, and the entire creative ecosystem, and that we are designing thoughtfully with full awareness of the challenges.” “These new technologies are tools that are only as good as what they're used to build,” the announcement reads. ![]() Kickstarter hopes folding in public feedback will create the best possible use of the infrastructure that powers both cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The announcement entitled “ We Won't Make Changes to Kickstarter Without You” recognised the outpouring of criticism, anger and confusion that followed the original unveiling and attempted to address some of the larger questions floating around the sudden investment in crypto technology. Notably, NFTs will not be allowed on whatever technology is eventually deployed. The crowdfunding platform, heavily used by tabletop publishers and independent designers alike, wants to establish an advisory committee composed of creators and backers to help guide the process. Kickstarter has published a long-anticipated update to its previously announced plans for integrating blockchain into its foundation. ![]()
