XDAO is preparing to launch a crowdfunding platform integrated directly into Telegram, designed for serious project builders.​

Key Features:

  • Automated Process: General Partners set fundraising parameters through Consensus, while smart contracts handle payments and token distribution automatically

  • LP Tokens: Investors receive liquid LP tokens as on-chain proof of ownership and profit rights

  • Investor Protection: Smart contracts automatically refund investors if the Soft Cap isn't reached

  • Flexible Rounds: Projects can launch multiple investment rounds with different terms for private or public sales

  • DAO Treasury Control: All funds flow directly into DAO treasuries through dedicated sub-accounts, with movements requiring GP voting approval

The platform is currently in final testing stages before launch.​
