Only If You Do

A coordination game: commit to a group action that only happens if enough people commit too.

Fifty renters want to switch to a greener energy co-op but nobody moves first. Stag Hunt collects conditional commitments that trigger only at 40 signups, and when the threshold hits everyone is notified to act together.

Mission

Make it safe to be brave together, so groups do the things every member already wants.

The need

Lots of good group moves die because nobody wants to go first: switching a block to a community energy co-op, reporting damp together, joining a local scheme. Each person would act if enough others did, but there is no safe way to say so.

What it will never do

  • Pledge on anyone's behalf
  • Publish names or flat numbers
  • Move deposits anywhere except back to their owners or the stated rule
  • Promise savings, rewards or returns

Pick your voyage

Only If You Do turns "I will if you will" into a contract: people commit to a group action that only fires when enough of them commit too. When you own it, every pledge page carries your name, the threshold contract is deployed from your wallet, and every campaign that tips over its threshold becomes part of your public onchain record. Run on someone else's tool and the communities you rally belong to their brand; run on yours and the organizers come back to you.

Straight answers

Before you own it

I can't code.

You do not need to. The pledge page, threshold contract, optional deposit and trigger notifications ship ready. Your job is choosing the first group action and the number that makes it real, such as 40 renters or 25 parents. If you can write a WhatsApp message, you can run a campaign.

What if the threshold never hits?

Then nobody is exposed, which is the whole point of the mechanism. Deposits return and the archive shows an honest miss. Start with a small, winnable threshold (12 people for a shared bulk order) so your first campaign succeeds, then raise the stakes.

Is it really mine?

Yes. The contract deploys from a wallet you control, the domain and branding are yours, and the success archive lives at your address. DEPLOYR does not hold your keys or your users' deposits.

Is holding deposits legal where I live?

Deposits are optional, and many campaigns work with no money at all, just a signed commitment. If you do take refundable deposits for purchases or fundraising, rules differ by country, so check a local lawyer or your regulator's guidance before taking money for others. Start with no-deposit campaigns while you learn.

What if people commit and then do not follow through?

Some will. That is why the optional deposit exists: a small refundable stake, returned when people act, filters out casual clicks. Even without it, public commitments at a threshold move far more people than a vague group chat poll.
