Incident Details
Kickstarter announced they have decided to create a decentralized version of their platform, and to create it on the Celo blockchain. This was not entirely well-received, and some major users strongly opposed the idea. Per Gizmodo, “How this will actually work, beyond Kickstarter being able to yell ‘blockchain’ like a spell to summon investors or maybe getting a cut of every project that runs on the resulting protocol, is unclear.”
