CrumbsUp

CrumbsUp is an end-to-end platform designed to address the needs of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) built on Radix. The team also runs CrumbsNode.

Introduction

CrumbsUp aims to provide easy initiation and rapid scalability for DAOs without requiring technical expertise. The platform offers customizable features like proposal and voting mechanisms using a DAO's own governance token. CrumbsUp follows a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach with gradual enhancements to ensure quick time-to-market. The native $CRUMB token and CrumbsNode validator are also key components of the overall Crumbs ecosystem.

Purpose

DAOs represent a novel approach to organizational structures and governance. As decentralized organizations, DAOs operate through smart contracts on blockchain networks to distribute decision-making power amongst participants. DAOs promise to reshape organizational dynamics by promoting transparency, democracy and autonomy. However, DAOs face challenges like complex technology, lack of participation, scalability issues and legal uncertainty. They require suitable tools and infrastructure to launch and operate effectively. CrumbsUp aims to fill this gap by providing an intuitive end-to-end solution.

The platform enables easy DAO initiation and management. Users can access DAO spaces, connect wallets, submit proposals, review, vote and monitor activity. CrumbsUp automates processes like voting and coordinates decision-making across large, diverse groups. The $CRUMB token also facilitates ecosystem growth through structured distribution and utility. By tackling key DAO challenges, CrumbsUp seeks to revolutionize the DAO landscape and unlock their disruptive potential. The platform's comprehensive features focus on simplifying DAO adoption and empowering their success.

Platform

The CrumbsUp platform provides end-to-end functionality for DAOs to manage their operations. Users can access a customized DAO space and connect their crypto wallets to participate. DAOs can configure their governance rules, structure types, voting timelines and member permissions.

Key features include:

• DAO Access and Management: Admins can setup and customize their DAO's space. Users can view info like guidelines, members and raise proposals.
• Proposals, Review & Voting: Users submit proposals which admins can review and approve. Community members can view, discuss and vote on active proposals.
• Intuitive Interface: The platform offers a user-friendly interface for members to participate in DAO activities. Customizable UI for personalized experience.
• Automated Processes: CrumbsUp automates manual tasks like voting, streamlining operations as DAOs scale.
• Data Analytics: Dashboards and reports provide insights into DAO activities and voting results. API access enables data retrieval.

Governance Types

CrumbsUp allows DAOs to choose different governance models based on their needs:

• Token-based: Voting power based on token holdings. Aligns influence with economic stake.
• Reputation-based: Members earn reputation through contributions. Rewards active participation.
• Liquid Democracy: Delegate votes to others with more expertise on specific topics.
• Futarchy: Use prediction markets to choose proposals with highest expected value.
• Quadratic Voting: Allocate votes non-linearly to better reflect preference intensities.

DAO governance has various approaches and CrumbsUp aims to provide options for customization aligned with a DAO's values and community.

Service Offering

CrumbsUp utilizes a token-based model with the native $CRUMB token on the Radix DLT. Key aspects include:

• Free Platform Access: Users can access CrumbsUp without fees, only network transaction costs apply.
• DAO Onboarding: Free to onboard DAOs, but minimum $CRUMB holdings required to create a DAO.
• Proposal Development: Free to create ideas, but $CRUMB "fuel" needed to release proposals. Aligns with $XRD price.
• Community Voting: Free for communities to vote on proposals. Encourages participation.
• Service Upgrades: DAOs can upgrade features for a defined $CRUMB fee, catering to diverse needs.

$CRUMB facilitates ecosystem growth by aligning incentives for usage without imposing excessive fees.

Tokenomics

The $CRUMB token has a fixed supply of 1 billion. Distribution:

• 52% for liquidity and ecosystem development.
• 10% for initial DEX listing.
• 10% distributed over 24 months to CrumbsNode stakers.
• 8% allocated to CrumbsUp founders, locked for 2 years.
• 20% burned.

Public sale enables broad access. Locked token portions ensure incentives aligned for growth. Distribution strategy fosters community ownership and engagement.

Team

CrumbsUp was founded by a team of 5 DLT enthusiasts based in Germany:

• Vinny - Leads NFT creation, designs, networking and steering for CrumbsUp. Organized first German Radix meetup.
• Nils - Key role in strategic decisions and utility development. Meetup co-organizer.
• Timo - Drives marketing initiatives to increase visibility and community engagement.
• Martin - Responsible for frontend development of CrumbsUp platform and solutions.
• Stephan - Leads backend development of core CrumbsUp platform and components.

The team aims to bring value to the Radix ecosystem, having been involved as investors and community members. Their ambition evolved into building CrumbsUp to address key DAO needs.

Vinny and Nils provide leadership, strategic direction and business development. Timo, Martin and Stephan contribute specialized skills in marketing, design and engineering. Together, the team combines a strong understanding of blockchain and passion for empowering the DAO space.

Token

The $CRUMB token is live on Radix mainnet. Its supply and authorities are verifiable on-ledger: a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000, with minting and burning permanently denied and the token’s rules locked ($CRUMB on the Radix Dashboard). It trades on Radix DEXs and aggregators such as Ociswap and Astrolescent.

Website (30 July 2026): crumbsup.net now redirects to crumbsup.io, the same project on a new top-level domain. The facts table has been repointed at the current address.

On-ledger record

The sections above describe what CrumbsUp set out to build. What it has recorded is separately verifiable, because a DAO platform mints its objects on the ledger, and CrumbsUp mints four kinds of them. The resource addresses below were taken from the platform's own front-end bundle and read at the Gateway on 30 August 2026, epoch 339,390.

Twenty-one DAOs have been created on the platform and, between them, they have produced eleven proposals and nineteen votes in the platform's lifetime. Nothing has been proposed or voted on since 14 January 2026. The platform component itself, component_rdx1cpupsxrv4y36n46d0d9elev9qwjw8p4up58h6ll6yff5p8sh20qckm, last appeared in a committed transaction on 3 April 2026, which is also when the most recent DAO was minted; the team's operating account last moved on 5 May 2026. The dApp definition account still claims crumbsup.io and the site still serves, so the deployment is intact rather than abandoned.

The token side agrees. On Ociswap, read the same day, $CRUMB shows zero volume over one hour, twenty-four hours and seven days, an unchanged price across all three windows, roughly 85 USD of liquidity and a circulating market capitalisation near 133 USD, against about 19,400 USD of lifetime volume.

On that record this directory lists CrumbsUp as 🟠 Dormant rather than Active. The judgement is about the product's own record and not about the team, which continues to run CrumbsNode. Two limits are worth stating: the supplies above are what the registries hold now rather than everything ever minted, so a burned proposal would not be counted; and a DAO that was created here could have moved its day-to-day governance to a channel this measurement cannot see. What the ledger does establish is that the platform's own governance objects stopped being created seven months ago.
