Protocol

Roadmap & milestones

Define your project deliverables

Milestones are your roadmap items for backers. They help evaluate your project and track progress, but they do not directly control fund release.

MILESTONES VS TRANCHES

MILESTONES (ROADMAP)

-- Show what you plan to build

-- Display-only, NOT fund-gating

-- Help backers decide to challenge

TRANCHES (FUND RELEASE)

-- 10% instant + 15% monthly x 6

-- Released by TIME, not milestones

-- Only blocked by challenges

Define Your Roadmap

Create 1-10 milestones during raise setup. Each should describe a specific deliverable.

Build & Ship

Work on your project. Milestones are visible to backers on your project page.

Receive Tranches

Funds release on a time schedule (10% + 15% monthly), regardless of milestone completion.
