Shakesco Donations

Donations, tips, support—whatever you want to call it—fuel not only creators but also open-source projects and causes, enabling them to thrive. Crypto has a big part to play in this, as it makes contributions global and private. Anyone around the world can get involved and contribute to a cause they believe in, without fear of judgment. Shakesco is here to make it easy—for both crypto natives and the masses.

With our pre-built checkout, you can start receiving value by sharing a simple URL with your Shakesco Name Service at the end, e.g., https://donate.shakesco.com/@shawnkimtai.sns. Or, if you want to build your own, just send ONE API call—yes, that’s right, ONE—and start receiving value.

What it's for

In a world where we can send messages with one click or post videos on social networks with ease, it does not reciprocate when it comes to finance. It's slow, expensive, and your account can be closed because people don't agree with your point of view.

Shakesco Donations aims to change all this. If you want to receive donations for a certain cause, tips for your work, support for your open-source project, sponsorship for your project/content, or even get paid, Shakesco is able to process all these transactions.

How to use it

If you know how to code or don't, we've got you covered! We've provided ready-to-use checkouts that you can share as links anywhere on the internet!

"Link" and "Amount" allow you to set your own preferences, more specifically:

• What is the purpose of your payment?
• What amount do you want in your checkout?

"Link" allows you to copy any link and share it on any social network you want, while "Amount" helps you edit your checkout amounts. If you want to see how your checkout looks, go here

Assets and Privacy

When receiving donations or tips, you may want a certain level of privacy. The payer might also prefer not to be publicly identified as contributing to a particular cause. That's why at Shakesco, we provide private payments.

Private transactions are masked from the public. For example, when the payer sends you a payment, the ONLY people who know the destination of the transaction are the sender and the receiver.

This feature is easy to use. When registering for a username, you may have noticed the option for a "Public Username" or a "Private Username." This can also be changed later. From the image above, click the "Person Icon" beside the "Receivable Assets" title to update your settings.

Private usernames receive only private transactions, while public usernames can receive all assets, but transactions are trackable.

Here are the assets you can receive in private mode:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Polygon

In public mode, you can receive all the assets above, plus:

• Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)
• Wrapped Ethereum (WETH)
• Tether USDt (USDt)
• USDC
• DAI Stablecoin

Conclusion

Our goal is to empower you with secure, private, and seamless global payments—whether you’re receiving support, donations, or tips. Start today and take full control of how you receive value!
