Apply for a Certified BUIDLer Listing

Certified BUIDLer IDOs are not required to go through the voting process and can only be created by our team. If you would like to apply for a Certified BUIDLer IDO with Starter, you can apply here: Certified BUIDLer Application

Or...

Create your IDO pool using the self-service method

Launching an IDO on Starter is a fairly straight-forward process:

To skip straight to the onchain form, visit the website and connect your wallet, then use in the top right of your browser or otherwise, refer to the below prior to completing the application to understand the listing process and requirements before applying.

  • You need to have a minimum of Gold Tier in order to create an onchain listing (see the Stake page for more information)

  • Upon application submission, your presale smart contract is generated according to the terms outlined in the form fields.

  • Community members who stake at least 5000 BUIDL on the platform have the opportunity to perform due diligence on your project and vote "Yes" or "No" on your listing. (Unless you are a Certified BUIDLer or Degen listing in which case voting wont be required)

  • Votes are weighted by the amount of BUIDL tokens each voter has staked.

  • The voting formula for whether your presale will proceed is as follows:

    • "Yes" votes minus "No" votes must be greater than 20,000,000 (10% of the max supply)

*Before applying, we highly recommend you read our Top Tips on Creating a Successful IDO here: https://starterxyz.medium.com/how-to-create-a-successful-ido-with-starter-c17901f95796

When going to apply, you'll need all the following information ready to hand:

Whitelisting

  • This is the list of ERC20 wallet addresses that will have access to your presale. If you choose to upload a whitelist, only the addresses on the whitelist will be eligible to participate in your presale.

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

  • Create your entries in a file by input only one address per line. Upload the file as a .CSV

    • e.g. 0xF977814e90dA44bFA03b6295A0616a897441aceC 0xF68a4b64162906efF0fF6aE34E2bB1Cd42FEf62d 0xBE0eB53F46cd790Cd13851d5EFf43D12404d33E8

Voting Process (Detailed)

As soon as you have listed a project, your listing will be live in the voting area. It will then remain open until the time the IDO is about to start. Each holder only needs 10000 minimum BUIDL to vote.

For a project to list, it needs to have 20,000,000 net YES votes during the voting phase (NET = Yes - No votes) where 1 Staked BUIDL = 1 vote, so if someone with 50000 BUIDL voted YES they would increase the number of the YES votes by 50000. Conversely, this same function works against the project when it is voted NO by the staker. Only the STAKED amount of BUIDL by the investor will be reflected in the voting (So any BUIDL in a wallet will not count towards the vote).

If the time for the IDO to launch comes and the pool does not have enough votes then it will cancel and you'll be refunded the tokens that you deposited when creating the pool.
