FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before running your first milestone-based grant on Kudos.
What is Kudos?
Kudos is a transparent grant management platform where sponsors fund escrow contracts on Algorand and students unlock payouts by submitting milestone proof.
How does escrow funding work?
Sponsors deposit ALGO into a smart contract. Funds stay locked until each milestone is approved, then a proportional payout is released directly to the student's wallet.
Do I need a crypto wallet?
Yes. Kudos uses Pera Wallet for signing transactions. Both sponsors and students connect their Algorand wallet during onboarding.
What happens if a milestone is rejected?
The student receives a notification with feedback. They can revise their proof and resubmit. Funds stay safely in escrow until the sponsor approves.
Is there a fee to use Kudos?
Kudos is free to use. The only costs are Algorand network transaction fees (~0.001 ALGO per transaction), which are negligible.
