The problem fundup solves

also technical docs here: https://fundup.vercel.app/about & smart contracts with yield donating strategy can be found within the github repo

FundUp turns idle crypto assets into recurring public-goods by routing Octant v2 vault deposits through Twyne, which earns yield by renting out the unused borrowing power of collateral, so the underlying assets never move and can’t be liquidated.

This provides real, stable yield (around ~11% APY) without adding principal risk. FundUp then lets users direct that yield to community-voted projects, making ongoing support simple, automated, and cost-free for the donor.

Challenges I ran into

I struggled at first with Octant’s documentation, it assumes a strong DeFi background, so understanding the yield flow and epoch logic took longer than expected. I ended up reading the contracts directly and testing on a local devnet to piece things together. Given how important Octant is for public-goods funding, I think clearer onboarding examples and simpler integration guides would help more builders get involved faster.
