Protocol6-month runway protection
Structured fund release with community oversight
Every raise releases funds through a structured tranche system over 6 months. Backers have ongoing accountability; founders get predictable runway.
Fund release timeline
Contributions never go to the founder in one lump sum. The escrow contract releases them on a fixed schedule: 10% the moment the raise finalizes, then 15% each month for six months.
How tranches work
The first release, the kickstart tranche, is 10% of the escrowed funds, released to the founder at finalization with no challenge window. It exists to give the project momentum on day one.
The remaining 90% releases as six monthly tranches of 15% each, one every 30 days from finalization. The founder requests each one, and the request opens a 72h challenge window so the community can review progress. If no challenge is upheld, the founder claims the tranche once the window closes: no approvals needed.
| Tranche | Amount | Timing | Challenge window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickstart | 10% | Instant at finalization | None |
| Monthly × 6 | 15% each | Every 30 days | 72h |
Community challenge system
If a founder stops delivering, backers and token holders can challenge the next tranche before it releases. An upheld challenge freezes the raise, which is what makes the time-based schedule safe: funds keep flowing only while the community lets them.
Challenging requires staking a bond, and the bond grows as the project matures: early tranches are cheap to challenge because there's little track record to judge, while late challenges demand more conviction.
| Stage | Tranches | Challenge bond |
|---|---|---|
| Early | T0–T2 | 0.25% of token supply |
| Mid | T3–T4 | 0.50% of token supply |
| Late | T5–T6 | 1.00% of token supply |
Liquidity protection
When a raise finalizes, the liquidity pool tokens are locked automatically, indefinitely, with onchain proof anyone can verify. A founder can never pull the liquidity out from under their own token.
Why tranches matter
For founders
- --Predictable monthly runway for planning
- --Builds trust with backers over time
- --Proves commitment through consistent delivery
- --Kickstart tranche provides immediate momentum
For backers
- --Ongoing accountability for founders
- --Challenge suspicious releases
- --Protection against abandoned projects
- --LP lock prevents immediate rug pulls
Aligned founder token vesting
Founder token allocations vest on a cliff of 6 months followed by 12 months of linear vesting (18 months in total). The cliff deliberately matches the ETH tranche schedule: founders can't sell a single token while they're still receiving tranches.
