The full Lume Web documentation # Fund the open web > Support Lume Web's mission to build the open, user-owned web. Donate with cryptocurrency or fiat to fund decentralized infrastructure. Public goods don't fund themselves. Help us build tools that respect users and resist censorship. [Make a donation](#methods) ## Why your support matters ### No venture capital We haven't taken VC money. No investors demanding returns means no pressure to compromise on privacy or build surveillance features. ### Open source Everything we build is free and open. Your donation funds public infrastructure that anyone can use and improve. ### Long-term focus We're not chasing hype cycles. We're building for the next decade of an open, user-owned internet. ### Community-driven Your voice matters. Donors and contributors shape our priorities through GitHub, Discord, and open discussion. ## How to donate ### Cryptocurrency ### Bitcoin BTC `bc1q9xq2w4w2hjc240rs6mf0g8gpzz3rmcz4h77a2a` ### Ethereum ETH, USDT, USDC `0x63cd2C691632720Ff2ABDD0b6AABA2466D3Fe468` ### Handshake HNS `hs1qe67ak3j2u4yrq0qnfs2hmycxqdvaf9v5rjsxzy` ### Monero XMR `48A33fSyFo9YAiux3KHKVBagPGvqmcr2h4oy5pufJn6NUWyZsPF6PAufmrET3gLJjsLwxfU7HU9xe8mEeCqtHqvZN3Ly12h` ### Siacoin SC `621a2d502fe62de595eeaf4141432c6713331f2f152fa4f7e0d7a721e3abdceb` ### Solana SOL `4nMRucCuqttipwQXm31vBgoaxDW6o25TnD8fj1imviCu` ### Fiat & Platforms [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/LumeWeb)[Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/lumeweb/donate)[Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=71702133) PayPal ## Other ways to give If you are interested in donating through other means, please get in touch with us to discuss.

The web should work for people. Simple beliefs that guide everything we build. 01 ## Your data, your rules You own your information. We won't sell it, trade it, or use it to manipulate you. 02 ## You matter more than metrics We don't chase engagement or addiction. We build tools that give you control. 03 ## The internet should work for everyone Access isn't a luxury. We build for real people, not just tech insiders. 04 ## Privacy isn't optional—it's built in Encryption isn't an upsell. It's how we treat every interaction by default. 05 ## We won't censor your voice Your speech is yours. We don't bow to advertisers, governments, or pressure groups. 06 ## Community-funded, not venture-backed The open web is infrastructure for everyone. It runs on community support, not investor returns. 07 ## We help, we don't harvest We create things that help you. Not systems that trap you and extract value. 08 ## Technology that defends civil rights Freedom and privacy aren't given—they're defended. We build systems that protect your rights by design. These principles are derived from web3ready.org, where you'll find the original principles with deep reasoning.
