Protocol

For Founders

What to expect when launching a raise

Vibestarter lets you launch a token with time-released funding tied to your project’s Origin Capsule. This page covers what you’ll need ready, what the wizard will ask you to decide, and the commitments you take on once your campaign goes live.

// 01_ACCESS

CURRENTLY INVITE-GATED

Launching is currently gated to approved founders via an application process. The platform is designed to become permissionless — gating is a launch-phase measure, not a permanent policy.

If you want to launch, start by completing a founder application. Applications are reviewed against identity, project scope, and AI-build provenance.

// 02_BEFORE_YOU_START

Have these ready before you open the launch wizard. Missing any of them will block finalization.

Wallet on Base

Connect a wallet with ETH on Base for gas and the commitment deposit.

Linked X (Twitter) Identity

Your X handle is linked on-chain for public accountability — no anonymous launches.

AI Agent Attestation

Declare which AI tool built your project (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Replit, other) and which model provider.

Proof Artifact

Transcript, PRD, repo commit, or code archive. The keccak256 hash is stored on-chain as your Origin Capsule.

Project Copy

Name, ticker symbol, short description, and total token supply.

Funding Plan

Target raise, raise type, deadline (up to 30 days), and how you plan to use the tranches.

See Origin Capsule for what counts as valid proof, and Raise Types for choosing between Fixed Goal, Open-Ended, and Pro-Rata.

// 03_KEY_DECISIONS_THE_WIZARD_WILL_ASK

RAISE TYPE
Fixed Goal, Open-Ended, or Pro-Rata. Drives refund rules.
Details →
GOAL & DEADLINE
Hard cap or target, plus end-of-raise date (up to 30 days).
FOUNDER ALLOCATION
0–7.5% of supply. Vests 6-month cliff + 12-month linear.
Details →
TREASURY ALLOCATION
0–17.5% of supply. Proposal-gated withdrawals post-launch.
Details →

FIXED ALLOCATIONS

You don’t choose LP (15%) or staker rewards (2.5%). Those are platform constants. Backers receive the remainder — at minimum 65% of supply.

// 04_COMMITMENT_DEPOSIT

WHENAt launch transaction
REFUNDOn successful finalization

The deposit is a spam filter and commitment signal. It’s returned to you when the campaign finalizes successfully. If the raise fails to meet its goal, the deposit is still returned. It’s only forfeited if the platform admin removes the raise for fraud or rule violations.

// 05_LAUNCH_TRANSACTION

A single transaction creates your token, registers the Origin Capsule, and deploys your escrow contract. From that moment your campaign is live and backers can contribute.

Sign Launch

Backend co-signs terms acceptance before the on-chain call (EIP-712).

Deploy & Register

Token created via VibesTokenFactory; escrow cloned; provenance written to the VibesRegistry.

Campaign Live

Raise page goes public. Backers contribute until the goal is met or the deadline passes.

// 06_AFTER_THE_RAISE_FUNDS

Funding isn’t the finish line. The ongoing commitments are how the platform protects backers and keeps founders accountable.

  • --Tranches release 10% at kickstart, then 15% per month for 6 months. You request each one when it unlocks.
  • --Every tranche request opens a 72h challenge window. If backers challenge, admin reviews and can freeze the campaign.
  • --Treasury allocations (if any) are gated by proposal-based withdrawals. You justify spending to your backers before releasing funds.
  • --Your founder allocation vests on a 6-month cliff + 12-month linear schedule. No early-exit path.
  • --Tokens you don’t claim get distributed to backers. LP is locked on Aerodrome indefinitely.

// 07_WHAT_BACKERS_EXPECT_FROM_YOU

  • --Ship against the roadmap you declared at launch
  • --Post regular progress updates on the raise page and your linked X account
  • --Respond to challenges transparently — a dismissed challenge should be earned, not ignored
  • --Keep treasury proposals specific and justified — backers read them
  • --Maintain the X identity you linked at launch; a dormant handle is a red flag

RESPONSIBILITY

Launching a token carries legal, tax, and reputational responsibilities that vary by jurisdiction. Vibestarter provides the infrastructure; the project is yours. Consider professional advice before launching a token that represents real economic value.
