Listing a project: Self or assisted

A guide to project owners for listing their project on T-starter.

Apply for Assisted Listing (Special request)

Projects that would like to list either an IDO or some kind of seed or fundraising campaign can apply through our new form.

Key to the T-Starter experience for our T-Starters is the fact that all projects that apply to list will be vetted, either by the community ( self-listed projects) or by the T-Starter team (assisted listing). This ensures that every project is doxed, contracts are audited, and there is no risk of rug-pull, therefore protecting the interest and investment of all who choose to participate in the T-Starter experience.

1. Assisted / Direct Listing

Projects can pitch directly to the T-Starter team for assistance with having their project sale listed. If we approve the listing we can bypass the community ballot process and list the project directly.

How to apply for an assisted listing

If you would like to apply for an Accredited Start pool with T-Starter, and your project is based on Telos, EOS or WAX, then you can apply here: https://bit.ly/AccreditedPool

2. Create your pool through self-listing

A project can set up a ballot to have their token sale listed on T-Starter. If there is sufficient support for the project the ballot will progress to a token sale listing. Self-listed projects pitch their projects to the T-Starter community, upon which the community votes on your project in order for it to list. This is a measure of quality control on the platform that filters out projects that are junk, or are not yet fully designed to be ready to the market.

The community voting process provides an early indication to the entrepreneur whether your project is likely to succeed once it is launched in the open market.

How to apply for self-listing

Listing a project is easy. Go to the Voting tab in the navigation bar and click on the "List Project" button.

In order for the self-listing to be successful, you need to understand the process and requirements:

• Fill in all the required information (See below).

• Pay a listing fee of 1000 START tokens on submission.

• Fund the ballot with your tokens and publish the ballot.

• Succeed in voting by having "Yes" - "No" votes > 5% of total staked on blockchain

When applying, you'll need the following information:

• This is the list of user account names that will have access to your pool. If you choose to use one, only the addresses on the whitelist will be eligible to participate in your sale.

• Leave this section blank if you do not wish to use a whitelist.

• Input in csv format.

  • e.g. fuzzytestnet, jaaaapietest, somethingelse

Voting Process

When you published your ballot, your project will be live in the voting area. It will then remain open until the closing time is reached. Anyone with START staked on the platform will have the ability to vote.

For voting to be successful, it needs to have >5% Net YES votes of the total START staked in the platform at the time the voting ends. (Net = Yes - No votes). If for example, a user with 1000 START staked, votes Yes with 100,000 total staked start on the platform, then the votes would increase by 1%.

The 5% lead needed is subject to change, and would later be determined through the governance system.

If the voting time runs out and the pool does not have enough votes then it will cancel and you'll be refunded your tokens sent to create the ballot.

Pool fees and rewards

Upon succesful completion of a pool sale, a 5% fee is taken from the total base tokens accrued.

The 5% fee is then subdivided such that:

• 75% of the fee gets paid to the users with staked START as rewards in the raised base token.

• 25% of the fee get paid back to T-starter to maintain the platform.

These values are subject to change, and to be goverened by our governance model in the future.
