Automatically fund verified impact.
Impact funding waits in escrow and releases only when a project proves its milestone, verified onchain and public for anyone to check. Money reaches the organizations that deliver, so teams spend their time on the mission, not on fundraising.
Giving isn't the problem. Knowing it worked is.
Hundreds of billions flow to impact and aid programs every year. But money is often released before results are proven, much of it leaks before it reaches the front line, and the difference between programs that deliver and ones that don't is far larger than most funders realize.
ImpactHook makes that difference visible. Funding is held in escrow and released milestone by milestone, each one verified onchain, so money flows to the organizations that actually deliver, and reaches the children and communities it was meant for.
The best interventions are vastly more effective than the rest. Sources: 80,000 Hours / DCP2 (2006); Giving USA 2025; Reinikka & Svensson (Uganda); Caviola et al. 2020.
People give more when they can see it working
People want to back organizations doing real good. But finding the ones that deliver, knowing they still have impact, and seeing your money was used well is hard. When you can't close that loop, you give less.
See exactly where your money goes
Funds release only against verified milestones, so they reach the organizations actually delivering, and you watch your impact accrue in real time.
See your impact →Spend time on the mission, not fundraising
Funding arrives automatically as milestones are hit, so more of every dollar reaches the work instead of a fundraising team.
Open your dashboard →How it works
A project defines its milestones, funding accumulates from any channel, and money is only ever released against proof-of-progress or proof-of-impact, verified onchain.
Register a project
A project sets its milestones and assigns who can verify them, then funding starts accumulating in escrow against those milestones. This is where a project comes to get set up.
Four ways to fund. One milestone gate.
However the money arrives, it's held to the same standard: nothing is released until the project proves it delivered.
However the money arrives, nothing releases until the project proves its milestone onchain. Then the matching tranche unlocks, to the project.
The same gate lets grant programs and institutional funders disburse the way they already want to: programmatically, transparently, and only against proven results.
Built so funds can't be misused
Verified by people or by agents, never by a single party. A milestone can be proven through several independent paths. Don't take our word for it, check the record.
Milestone-gated release
Set by the project or the funder
Direct & cross-chain verification
EAS attestations
AI agent verification
Expert committee verificationBuilt · roadmap
Every action is an onchain event: indexable, queryable, and available in real time. A funder gets a live view of where money is and what it unlocked, without waiting on a custom report from anyone.
Pantheon: humans and agents verify together
For the highest-stakes milestones, a funder can convene a committee: standards-trained agents, human experts, and an adversarial Critic that review the evidence and return one signed verdict. Accountability by panel, not a single oracle.
Track outcomes, not just where the money went
As a funder you don't just see that funds moved. You see what they achieved: every milestone, every release, every result, in one live view. Every action is an onchain event, so you can track and verify impact in real time and auto-generate the reports funders need from the same public record. The loop between giving and impact finally closes.
The Principles for Digital Development
ImpactHook was built to embody the nine principles that guide responsible technology for development.
Design With the User
01Milestones are defined by the project and its community, not imposed by the protocol.
Understand the Ecosystem
02Built for the real funding gap facing NGOs and impact projects in México and beyond.
Design for Scale
03A permissionless hook: any pool, any project, with near-zero marginal cost to onboard the next one.
Build for Sustainability
04Funded by protocol fees and services, not only by perpetual grants. It outlives any single funding round.
Be Data Driven
05All impact lives onchain in real time: live metrics, queryable evidence, verifiable milestone state. Real-time proof can release funding the moment a milestone is met.
Open Source & Open Standards
06MIT licensed and public, built on ERC standards, EAS, and Hypercerts.
Reuse and Improve
07Composes Uniswap v4, EAS, Hypercerts, Reactive, and Alkahest rather than reinventing them.
Do No Harm
08No personal data onchain; funds gated behind verified results; transparent and auditable by anyone.
Be Collaborative
09An open repo and interoperable agents, ready for NGO, funder, and ecosystem partnerships.
Two founders, technical and operational and community-rooted
DeSci México is a women-led, youth-led company founded by Pamela in 2023. We are both scientists with years of work across decentralized science and web3 public goods, and we each work across all of it: the technical build, the partnerships, and the communities this is for. We care about public goods because we come from science.
Erin Magennis
“I want funding for good to be something you can verify, not just trust.”
Builds the contracts, the app, and the verification stack, and works across partnerships and community. Five years in DeSci and web3 public goods, and runs the MuseMatrix DeSci fellowship across four cohorts.
Pamela Limón López
“As a biologist, community builder, and mother of two, I want a future where funding reaches the people creating measurable impact, and where every outcome can be transparently verified.”
Founded DeSci México in 2023. A biologist who shapes company strategy, identifies promising projects, and builds partnerships, making sure the platform solves real problems in education, health, nutrition, and the environment, and anchoring operations in México.
ImpactHook primary revenue streams
The protocol stays free and open. DeSci México sustains it through three diverse, scaling streams.
Protocol fees
A small optional fee on impact contributions flowing through managed pools accrues to the treasury. Scales with adoption, with no active sales motion.
Impact dashboard SaaS
Audit-grade impact reports generated from onchain data, in Spanish and English. Subscription tiers for NGOs and institutions.
Paid institutional deployment
Foundations, governments, and large NGOs pay us to set up and run ImpactHook for their own grant programs: their pools, their milestone rules, their reporting. Fixed-fee engagements.
A working prototype,
not a pitch deck
Five contracts deployed and verified across three testnets, a full app at impacthook.vercel.app, and a public test suite. Winner of the Fresh Code prize at Protocol Labs Genesis.
When the right things get funded, people can focus on the work that matters
Less time chasing grants and writing reports. More clean water, more kids in school, more measurable good, with every outcome public and verified onchain.
And when people can see that their giving works, they give more. Efficient, verifiable impact compounds: the more good we can prove, the more good gets funded.
Read the accountability story →Bring serious capital to accountable impact
Whether you fund through milestone-gated escrow or provide liquidity whose yield flows to impact, the same onchain guarantee holds: money only moves against proof.
Milestone-gated escrow for grants
Run a funding pool to your own standard. Capital releases only as verified milestones are hit, with audit-grade onchain reporting your team can read directly.
Learn more →Liquidity providersProvide liquidity, fund through yield
Add liquidity to an impact pool and the hook skims a configurable share of LP fees to the project. You keep earning while a slice of the yield funds verified impact.
