An AI that guards your inbox and DMs and charges strangers a fee you keep to reach you.
Funke gets 300 cold DMs a day. Gatekeeper reads them, lets friends through, and asks strangers for 2 USDC refunded if she finds it useful.
Make a person's attention something they control and strangers respect, so that reaching someone new costs a little care instead of nothing, and scammers cannot buy their way in.
Creators, founders and small business owners get hundreds of cold DMs and emails a day. The few that matter (a client, a supplier, a real collaborator) drown under spam and polished scams, and blocking strangers entirely shuts out real opportunity.
Your attention is the scarcest thing you have, and right now every platform gives it away for free. Own Gatekeeper and strangers pay a small refundable fee into your wallet to reach you, under your brand, with an AI triage you control. The fees, the allowlist and the reputation of a well guarded inbox are yours.
10 paying users within 30 days, then $2,610 a month within 6 months, tracked on one sheet.
Three applications submitted to real programs within 6 weeks, each with live usage numbers attached. Funding is never promised; applying well is the goal.
Verified contract on Base from your wallet, a public builder profile linking it, and at least 25 real outside wallets interacting with it in 60 days.
Entered two hackathons within 3 months with a clearly scoped new feature, and placed in or got judge feedback from at least one.
You use Gatekeeper every week for 4 weeks and can name the hours or the money it saved you.
At least 10 people from your group each set up a reach page and share their blocked spam count after a week within 2 weeks, and three of them do it again without a reminder.
Two signed or announced partnerships (integration, co marketing or referral) within 90 days.
A public case study, a live demo link and at least one interview or client call that came from it within 60 days.
Three paying clients at $350 setup each within 90 days, with at least one on a monthly care plan.
Some will. That is why the fee is refundable when you find the message useful, and friends never pay. Frame it as 'I read everything that comes through here', not as a toll.
It will make mistakes in week one. Keep a manual allowlist, review the blocked folder daily for the first two weeks, and tune the rules from what you see.
You do not need to. Gatekeeper arrives working, deployed from your own wallet with a written guide for every step. You will click, paste and fill in names. If you ever want a change you cannot make, the custom option or a freelancer can handle it, but the first launch needs no code.
Yes. The contract is deployed from your wallet on Base, the code sits in your own git repo, and the name and brand are yours. DEPLOYR does not hold your keys or take a cut of what Gatekeeper earns. If you stop paying anyone tomorrow, the app keeps running on your wallet.
That is the most likely early outcome, and it is fixable. The paths below start with you as the first user, then ten real founders, creators and investors who drown in cold DMs you can name today. If ten people you message do not care after you have shown it to them, you have learned something useful in a week instead of a year.
