Why this exists

A little from you is a lot to someone else.

Somewhere tonight a person is awake doing sums, deciding whether rent, school fees or the hospital gets paid this month, because it can't be all three. Somewhere else is a person who did well, who would gladly help, and who has no idea the first one exists.

Those two people are one transfer apart. A few seconds and a fee smaller than a cent. Most people with something to spare want to help. What's missing is a way to find someone real and know the money actually reached them.

eBeggar is that way. One person says what they need. Another sends it straight to their wallet. Nobody in the middle holds it, nobody takes a cut, and the giver gets proof it landed. Generous people built their luck; this is a place to pass a little of it on.

Why we call it begging

Because that's what it is, and we're done being ashamed of it.

Look under any big giveaway post on X. Hundreds of replies. People on day 15, day 40, day 90 of asking the same stranger for help, hoping today is the day they get noticed. Some of them win fair and square and still get told the prize is going to somebody else.

Asking for help shouldn't depend on going viral. And giving shouldn't depend on trusting a screenshot. Here, every gift is written to the Solana blockchain. If someone says they sent it, anyone can check. If they didn't, everyone can see that too.

I'm one of you

I didn't build this from a comfortable place. I built it because I need it.

I lost my job. I have a master's degree to pay for, with $40,000 in fees standing between me and finishing it, and debt on top that I carry everywhere I go. I know exactly how it feels to need help and not know who is left to ask.

So my own request is on this site, checked the same way yours will be. I'm not above the people here. I'm in the queue with them.

I'm staying anonymous, like everyone else on eBeggar. You don't need my name to check my wallet, and you don't need anyone's name to change their month.

What we believe

• Asking is not shameful. It takes more courage than most things.
• Giving is a gift, never a debt. Nobody here is owed anything. Twenty dollars you'd never miss can be a week of food for someone else, and that's a good trade.
• Givers deserve credit and proof. Every gift gets a public receipt that can't be faked, and the most generous wallets go on the board.
• Askers deserve dignity. No accounts, no names, no one deciding you look like the wrong kind of person.

How we keep it honest

• An AI reviewer reads every request before it goes up. Anything it doubts waits for a human, and every decision is in the public vetting log.
• Nobody ever connects a wallet. Givers pay from their own wallet app, and the site can't touch anyone's money.
• eBeggar takes no fee. Every cent a giver sends lands in the asker's wallet.
• We can check a wallet and a story for warning signs. We can't prove a story is true. Give what you're glad to give.
