Fundition itself is essentially just a site that styles blockchain content in a format akin to a crowdfunding site. So post rewards get paid to the author/Project automatically just like any other content. Direct donations made through the Fundition site are almost immediately forwarded to the wallet of the Project author.

So unlike something like a KickStarter, it’s not all or nothing. The funds aren’t in escrow until the project reaches its goal. So I always advise folks to support projects that they would anyway... regardless of any potential backer rewards.

The recipient is entirely responsible for cashing out to fiat currency when necessary, fulfilling promised rewards, etc.
