Vetting
Curated projects are reviewed before going live:The raise
- The deposit window is fixed at 5 days.
- Founders set a fixed minimum target. If it isn’t met, participants are refunded.
- Everyone deposits USDC during the window. If demand exceeds the accepted amount, the excess is refunded pro rata.
- Funds are held safely until launch, then participants claim their tokens.
- Total token supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000.
Fundraise parameters
| Parameter | What it means |
|---|---|
| Minimum raise | The minimum you need to raise; below it, investors are refunded. |
| Treasury allowance | Your operating budget, transferred to you on a schedule after the raise. |
| Public allocation % | Share of supply sold in the raise - a smaller % implies a higher starting price/FDV, a larger % a lower one. |
| Liquidity allocation | A portion of raised USDC is reserved for post-launch trading liquidity. |
| Team performance package | Remaining team tokens unlock against market-cap milestones (supply is fixed). |
Pre-ICO governance
Before a project has ICO’d, its treasury and IP are governed by decision markets pegged against the price of $STAR.Since the project has no live token of its own yet, there’s no native price to run markets
against. $STAR is used as the welfare metric: good decisions for projects on the platform improve
the price of $STAR, so it stands in until the project’s own token is live.
- You receive a treasury allowance defined before the raise.
- Larger expenditures or allowance changes must be approved through decision markets.
- A follow-on fundraise requires a proposal specifying the amount and valuation. Fundraise proposals can only be created by the team.
- Holders can raise issues by creating proposals (a minimum amount of the illiquid token is required to do so).
Going live (TGE)
Final pre-TGE raise
One final fundraise runs right before TGE (under 5 days), with a share of raised funds reserved
for AMM creation.
