Fundraising via Star allows founders to secure USDC via a public token sale with a number of customizable parameters to suit various usecases.

​
Pro Rata

All allocations are accepted during the sale window. Final allocations are computed proportionally to excess demand of the discretionary cap defined by the project. Unused funds are automatically refunded at TGE. Founders set a minimum target and a customizable duration for how long the sale runs. Minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 31 days. If the raise succeeds, you have 31 days to request the token launch. If the minimum isn’t met or the token doesn’t get launched, participants are refunded. Funds are held in escrow until launch, after which participants can claim their tokens. Teams may also close their raise early. By default, 20% of raised funds are allocated for liquidity provision, paired with an equal amount of project tokens.

​
Token setup

You can either:
  • Mint a new token: Create a fresh mint for your project. Configure decimals, supply, authorities, and metadata.
  • Import an existing mint: Bring an already-created token and use it for your raise. You’ll need mint authority permissions and any relevant freeze/update authorities if you want to modify metadata or mint supply during setup.

​
Vesting schedules

You can configure vesting for both team and investors as part of the raise:
  • Team vesting
    • Supports time‑based cliffs and linear schedules.
    • Optional FDV‑based unlocks: release tranches when fully diluted valuation milestones are reached (e.g., unlock 10% at 50M FDV, 10% at 100M FDV, etc.).
  • Investor vesting
    • Time‑based schedules (e.g., unlock at TGE + linear) to align long‑term incentives.
    • Optional fee share: route a configurable percentage of token trading fees to vesting recipients, pro‑rata to their vested (or vesting) balances.
    • Clear claim UX: investors can see schedules and claim unlocked amounts over time.
