# Plebly > Plebly is a public funding platform for Bitcoin development and research. Donors send sats to publicly verifiable on-chain escrow; builders claim funded work through open pull requests. No custodian can freeze or redirect escrow. Plebly is protocol-over-platform: rules, parameters, and proposal history live in git. The website at https://plebly.fund lists projects, shows mempool escrow balances, and helps donors and builders participate. Lightning donations (when enabled) settle into the same on-chain escrow address via reverse submarine swaps.
