What if anyone could turn a cause into a fundable mission?

Interplanetary Fund is an AI-assisted fundraising platform. This separately hosted PayPal AI Hackathon build provides 82 clearly fictional campaigns so judges can interact with a populated crowdfunding experience without real money or real beneficiary data. A numbered, highlighted walkthrough connects the key features.

PayPal Sandbox + AI — integrated functionality

  • PayPal Developer Platform: PayPal Sandbox REST Orders v2, OAuth, provider-verified order/capture reconciliation, signed webhook processing, immutable receipts and an idempotent balanced ledger. Campaign gifts and support for IFund are tracked separately. An actual previously recorded Sandbox capture has a matching receipt; a redirected or pending order is never shown as paid.
  • Cloudflare Workers AI: a real model, @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast, powers five campaign title options, two short descriptions, an editable full story and individual section regeneration. @cf/black-forest-labs/flux-1-schnell generates optional artwork. Model failures are reported rather than replaced with fake success.
  • AG Grid Community (sponsor): a public, sortable/filterable campaign explorer and authenticated financial grids for authorized donation and reconciliation records.
  • AG Charts Community: three interactive donuts directly on the linked partner dashboard: provider-verified Sandbox campaign funding versus fictional goals; fictional campaign distribution; and explicitly simulated agent-focus allocations selectable by campaign. Synthetic attention units are NOT actual autonomous work or money.
  • Postman (sponsor): an executable source-controlled collection for sandbox PayPal OAuth/webhook status, AI generation, order creation, manual buyer-approved capture, receipts, reconciliation and negative checkout tests.
  • Interactive Atlas: rotatable, accessible SVG Earth globe with synthetic campaign locations. AG Charts Enterprise geographic maps were deliberately avoided to preserve the free-tier budget.
  • Organizer journey: fictional demo identity, save/edit/publish campaigns, discovery, sharing, QR links and embeds, plus private receipt views.

How to try it

Open the first guided page and select Start the guided, highlighted tour. Public Atlas and partner analytics require no login. For AI creation and checkout, create an ordinary fictional demo-only identity; do not reuse live IFund credentials. To approve a PayPal order use an eligible Personal Sandbox buyer distinct from the merchant, never a live PayPal account or real credit card.

Honest limitations: the Card Fields/3-D Secure path remains dependent on merchant eligibility and has not been fully provider-accepted; live payouts, subscriptions and automated social publishing are outside this sandbox. The sandbox uses isolated Supabase ifund_demo_* data, dedicated Cloudflare Worker/R2 storage and no production financial writes. The project has recorded successful AI runs and a verified Sandbox capture, but a complete fresh independent buyer/video acceptance test is still open.

Built during the October–November hackathon

The original IFund platform existed before October 1, 2026. The hackathon work materially extended it with the separate runnable PayPal Sandbox environment, end-to-end verification ledger, genuine Workers AI wizard, interactive judge guide, 82 fictional campaigns, Community AG Grid/Charts, Atlas, privacy/authorization controls, provider-safe transaction states, and automated evidence tests.

Inspiration: “What if endless possibilities could be reality?” We want to reduce the effort between a useful idea and a transparent fundraising campaign while keeping payment verification and accessibility central to the experience.

The demo uses only free-tier/Community resources and keeps PayPal Sandbox separate from live Interplanetary Fund payments. Source and release evidence are public.
