The pitch, ready

A tip jar creators own outright: USDC from anywhere, straight to their wallet.

Problem: Creators lose a cut and wait days on tipping platforms, and fans abroad often cannot pay at all.

Solution: A static jar page with a payout address, a single USDC transfer on Base, a network guard and a wall read from chain.

Why now: USDC on Base costs fractions of a cent to send and wallets are now one tap with email sign in.

Market: Teachers, streamers and podcasters, from free jars to $49 a month studios.

The ask: Onboard 50 online music teachers with done for you setup.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: Mariana after her stream.
Jar: paste the payout address, pick amounts and go live.
Tips: Kofi tips $5 from Accra.
Tips: Lena is on Ethereum; the guard asks her to switch, then she tips.
Wall: every supporter with a thank you card; goals and reports gated behind Creator.
Owner Agent: windowed feed and network guard fixes.
Owner Revenue: change the Creator price.
Owner Growth: onboard a teacher collective.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Small creators, teachers and maintainers get asked where to send a thank-you and have no simple answer. Tip platforms hold funds, set minimum payouts and take a cut, and many of their supporters live in countries those platforms serve badly.

What exists and what is new

Tip pages are not new. Fiat tip platforms such as Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee are mature, and crypto tipping already exists inside wallets, social clients and payment link tools. What is different here is modest: a page the creator owns and deploys under their own name, tips that are a single USDC transfer straight to their wallet on Base, and a supporters feed read directly from chain with no backend or database. Low novelty; the value is ownership, speed and no middle cut, not invention.

The data it runs on

Public USDC Transfer events into the payout address on Base, optional basenames for display, and the page settings (name, suggested amounts, thank-you text). No accounts, emails or tip records are stored by the app.

1.The mission

Anyone who makes something useful can take a thank-you from anywhere in the world, in seconds, into a wallet they control.

2.Why people can't resist it

The thank-you wall Every tip shows up in a public feed read from chain. Being named on it is half the reason people tip.

Fifty cents counts No minimum payout and gas under a cent on Base, so the smallest supporters are welcome.

Instant, and yours A tip lands in the creator's wallet in seconds. Nobody holds it, nobody can freeze the page's history.

3.How it works for real

Wallets: Supporters connect with Privy (embedded or external wallet). The creator only needs a Base address to receive.

The tip: One ERC-20 transfer of USDC (6 decimals) on Base to the payout address. No contract to deploy or audit.

Network guard: The page checks the connected chain before signing and offers a switch to Base, so tips are not sent on the wrong network.

Live feed: The browser reads USDC Transfer logs to the payout address in fixed block windows from a public or paid Base RPC, caching the last block seen.

Names: Basenames are resolved for display when a supporter has one; otherwise a short address is shown.

Hosting: A static Next.js app on Vercel, configured by environment variables: payout address, suggested amounts, thank-you text, testnet switch.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per tip: the supporter pays Base gas for one token transfer, typically well under one US cent. The creator pays nothing per tip. Monthly example for one jar with 200 tips: hosting on a free or hobby plan, $0; Privy on its free tier for small apps, $0; public RPC, $0 (a paid RPC plan is optional if the feed gets heavy). No AI model is used.

Own jar Free

The owner runs a jar for their own audience and keeps 100% of tips.

Done for you $29 per month

The owner sets up and cares for a branded jar for another creator within 24 hours, billed in USDC.

Studio $49 per month

Several jars, a monthly supporter report and a custom domain for creators who want the numbers.

5.Growth loop

Every tip produces a public, shareable receipt and a name on the wall. Creators read supporters out on stream, supporters share their card, and other creators ask for the link. Owners grow by picking one niche, such as indie music teachers, so each case study sells the next jar.

6.Risks and guardrails

Wrong network: Supporters may hold USDC on another chain. The page blocks sending off Base and explains how to switch.

Tax and income: Tips can be taxable income. The app exports nothing on its own and gives no tax advice; creators should keep a monthly export and ask a local accountant.

Key loss: If the creator loses their wallet keys the tips are gone. Nobody, including the app, can recover them.

Impersonation: A fake page could copy a creator's look with a different address. Creators should link the jar only from their own channels and show their address.

RPC limits: Public RPCs cap log queries. The feed reads in small windows and degrades to recent tips rather than failing.

Why own USDC Tip Jar

A tip jar you own sends every USDC tip straight to your wallet on Base, with no platform taking a cut and no account that can be frozen. The supporters feed is read from chain, so your audience sees real, public proof that people back your work, and that record stays yours. Once it runs for you, you can set it up for other creators under your own brand and charge for it.

What’s stopping you?

“I can't code.”

You do not need to. The app ships as a ready deploy with no backend: you set your payout wallet, your name and your suggested amounts, then publish. If a setting confuses you, DEPLOYR walks you through it step by step.

“What if nobody tips?”

That is a real possibility at the start. Tips follow attention, so the playbook below starts with your existing audience: one pinned link, one honest ask, one thank you posted publicly. Expect a slow first week and measure from there.

“Is the money really mine?”

Yes. Tips go from the supporter's wallet directly to the payout address you set. DEPLOYR never holds the funds and cannot redirect them. Keep your seed phrase safe, because nobody can recover it for you.

“What if it breaks or Base has an outage?”

The jar is a static page that reads the chain. If Base is slow, tips wait and the feed catches up. Nothing is stored on a server that can be wiped. If the page itself goes down, your wallet and the onchain history are untouched.

“Do I owe tax on tips?”

Possibly. In many places tips are income. Keep a simple export of your feed each month and ask a local accountant. This app does not give tax advice.

The million-dollar ladder

You earn in two ways. First, tips to your own jar. Second, you run branded tip jars for other creators (streamers, writers, open source maintainers) and charge a monthly setup and care fee in USDC. A $1M a year run rate is a target to aim at, not a promise, and most owners will land well below it.
