Create Crowdfunding Campaign
Once the DAO has gone through the upgrade, installed the Crowdfunding Module (LP Manager), and created a Sub-Wallet to receive funds, you can launch the fundraising campaign itself — the Crowdfunding vote (crowdfunding).
Before creating a campaign, make sure the previous steps are complete: Enable Crowdfunding Support, Install Crowdfunding Module, and a Sub-Wallet. Without a Sub-Wallet, the campaign creation form is locked.
Open your DAO's Crowdfunding tab and click the button to create a campaign (available to GPs), or create a Crowdfunding-type vote via Create Proposal.
Specify the campaign's name and description.
If the DAO has multiple LP tokens (LP Managers) installed, choose which one this campaign will use. If the only LP token has already been used in another campaign, the interface will warn you and suggest issuing a new LP token via Install Crowdfunding Module — this keeps the economies of different campaigns from mixing.
Choose the Destination Sub-Wallet — this is where the raised funds will be credited. If no Sub-Wallet exists yet, or the existing one is already used by another campaign, the interface will suggest creating a separate one.
Choose the fundraising currency: TON or jetton (the jetton is chosen from the supported list).
Configure the LP token parameters and fundraising limits:
- LP token price — the price of one LP token in the fundraising currency;
- Min cap (soft cap) — the minimum amount at which the campaign is considered successful; if the soft cap isn't reached by the end of the term, contributors will be able to claim a refund;
- Max cap (hard cap) — the maximum amount to raise, at which the campaign closes automatically; must be greater than or equal to the soft cap;
- Min / Max per wallet — the minimum and maximum contribution per wallet; can't exceed the hard cap.
Specify the Management Fee — the DAO's fee as a percentage (0–100%), which the DAO can later claim in LP tokens once the campaign succeeds (see Claim DAO Management Fee). For example, at a 5% fee the DAO receives 50 LP tokens for every 1,000 LP issued to contributors.
Set the campaign's timeline using one of two methods:
- Delayed Start = Off (default) — the campaign starts as soon as the vote is executed; specify only the duration (2 / 7 / 14 / 30-day presets, or a custom number of days/hours/minutes);
- Delayed Start = On — set a specific start and end date and time for the campaign (in your local time zone).
If needed, enable Whitelist: only addresses on the list will then be able to contribute. Add addresses manually (by wallet address) or select from GP holders. The whitelist can be expanded even after the campaign launches — see Manage Whitelist.
Specify the Voting Duration for the vote itself and click Create Proposal.
The minimum campaign duration is 5 minutes; the maximum is 1 year.
GPs vote on the proposal; once general consensus is reached, it's executed: the campaign is deployed on-chain and either starts immediately or waits for its scheduled start date.
LP Vesting (advanced setting)
On newer versions of the LP Manager, campaign creation offers an optional LP Vesting setting — a gradual unlock of LP tokens after the campaign completes successfully, instead of an instant payout:
- Cliff Period — the period during which LP tokens remain locked;
- Vesting Duration — the total vesting term (must be longer than the cliff), over which LP tokens unlock linearly;
- TGE Unlock — the share of LP tokens (0–100%) available immediately after the campaign completes, even before the cliff ends.
LP tokens under vesting don't accrue dividends until the member claims them to their wallet.
