The Full Rundown
A comprehensive overview of everything you will need, and may want to know, as part of the capital raising process on SOAR.
Defining Your Token Parameters (The DRP Setup)
Before a project moves from a draft to an actively trading launch, a founder should be aware of the core parameters of Digital Representation of Participation.
- Authorized Tokens (AT): Max Supply (standardized at 1 billion tokens). This 100% represents the 100% future value of the company.
- Initial Issuance (IT): ~5% of the AT is minted at launch for the open market/liquidity pool. The remaining ~95% stays unminted in the protocol.
- The “Burn the Boats” Parity: The drafting tool enforces a strict FDV = Market Cap parity. You cannot have “hidden” team wallets or “ecosystem reserves” that aren’t part of the public one billion supply.
How to Launch (The Deployment Phase)
Once your draft is finalized, the launch process follows a programmatic sequence:
- Contract Deployment: Clicking “Launch” deploys your DRP-standard smart contract on the Solana network.
- The 3-Month Freeze: Be aware that once you launch, all capital and tokens are subject to a mandatory 3-month lockup. You cannot mint additional tokens or withdraw the primary liquidity during this window.
- Public Notification: Your launch is automatically announced on the SOAR Feed and social channels to alert the community of the new Senior Debt opportunity.
Reasons for launching the token for your product
- Find early investors, partners, and stakeholders
- Build a community
- Earn fees early-on from market activity (onchain buying/selling)
- Drive more interest, awareness and usage of your product and company
_Launching a token is fully optional for anyone that has a product page on SOAR. _
**What’s the deployment timeline it takes to launch? **
On-chain deployment is instantaneous once your venture clears the mandatory legal and technical verification protocols. You retain full autonomy over the final activation, allowing you to initialize your market the moment your project is ready for launch.
Founder Tips: The Road to “Verified”
A dedicated sidebar provides a 5-step checklist to ensure your project is optimized for the SOAR ecosystem. Following these steps is the primary path to unlocking Verified status and attracting larger liquidity:
- Complete Your Project Profile Thoroughly: Fill out every field to build trust with participants.
- Connect All Your Social Channels: Link your X and Discord to enable the social attribution engine.
- Get Discovered: Use the platform’s internal promotion tools to increase visibility.
- Raise Capital: Successfully navigate the bonding curve to seed your initial treasury.
- Verify To Maximize Success: Complete the final KYC/AML and legal check to secure your DRP Senior Debt status.
- Be live for a minimum of 30 days
Monetization & Fees
The SOAR platform enables founders to access capital and generate revenue through three primary channels while maintaining 100% equity control.
Founders generate immediate working capital during the initial launch phase of their Ownership Coin (OC).
- Trading Fee Accumulation: As participants swap USD1 for your OCs via the bonding curve, a portion of these transaction fees is programmatically routed to the project treasury.
- Example Outcome: A successful launch can raise significant initial funding (e.g., $100,000) for company operations purely through initial trading volume.
2. Ongoing Revenue & Rewards
Beyond the initial launch, founders can earn continuous revenue based on ecosystem activity.
- Swap Fee Sharing: A percentage of all ongoing on-chain swaps involving your project’s token is allocated to the founder/project wallet.
3. Strategic “Non-Dilutive” Value
The most significant monetization benefit is the structural preservation of ownership.
- Equity Retention: Unlike traditional VC rounds where you sell 10-20% of your company, SOAR allows you to raise capital against a future equity claim. You retain 100% of your voting shares and corporate control.
Strategic Buybacks: Managing Your Senior Debt
The DRP model provides Founders with a programmatic “push-pull” equilibrium to manage their obligations: By using company revenue to buy back tokens from the open market and returning them to the Custodial Wallet (CW), Founders directly decrease their obligation.
- Incentive Alignment: Every token bought back is effectively a “re-purchase” of the company’s future exit value. This allows Founders to increase their personal “keep” during a Liquidity Event while providing consistent buy-pressure and liquidity for token holders
