D.AI.SY | Reducing Dependence on Intermediaries

Decentralized crowdfunding eliminates the need for intermediaries like banks, payment processors, or traditional crowdfunding platforms, all of which typically charge fees for their services. Leaders at decentralized platforms such as DAISY Global emphasize that by removing these middlemen, decentralized platforms significantly reduce the costs associated with raising funds and making investments. This reduction in fees is particularly important for small investors, who might find the cost of participation prohibitive in traditional models.

 

Additionally, the removal of intermediaries gives project creators more direct access to their backers, fostering stronger relationships and creating a sense of shared ownership between investors and creators. Small investors, who often feel disconnected from large, faceless financial institutions, can now engage more personally with the projects they support. This direct interaction not only increases the efficiency of the crowdfunding process but also empowers small investors by giving them more control over their investments.
