# DRP Standard: Detailed
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/drp/how-it-works/detailed
![The SOAR DRP Token Standard]()
Digital Representation of Participation (Patent Pending) is a new Token Standard being put forth by SOAR.
**DISCLAIMER:** **Tokens on, or created by or through, SOAR are...**
***NOT Debt***
***NOT Equity***
***Have NO Inherent Value***
***Have NO Inherent Rights***
***Should NOT be Considered Securities***
***
## The TL;DR is as follows
***
## HOW IT WORKS
Founders ownership in a Company is represented by their percentage of token holdings.
**AUTHORIZED Tokens (“AT”)**: 100% of Tokens Authorized represents 100% of the Company’s Value.
***
### Upon Contract Deployment
**ISSUED Tokens (“IT”)**: 5% of AT (can be Variable) are automatically made available to the public (deployed on to the Bonding Curve and to the Liquidity Pool);
**CUSTODIAL Wallet (“CW”)**: a wallet is automatically created that is controllable by the Founder and SOAR only;
**CUSTODIAL Tokens (“CT”)**: The remaining 95% is left un-minted.
**Token REQUEST (“TR”)**: after 3 months from Contract Deployment (can be Variable), Founder may, at its sole discretion, request any portion of the CT, for any purpose or for any reason, as follows:
* Founder submits a TR to the CW;
* The TR requires the Founder to identify the Amount of CT being requested, and the Wallet where the CT will be sent;
* The TR permits, but does not require, the Founder to explain why the TR is being made, and what the TR is going to be used for;
* The TR is automatically published publicly (on the SOAR platform, on a dedicated SOAR Twitter page, etc);
* 72 hours later the Amount of tokens requested in the TR are automatically minted to the Wallet identified in the TR.
***
### SENIOR DEBT Instrument (“SD”)
A legally binding debt agreement, superior as to any and all other claims (third-party or otherwise), is automatically created between SOAR and the Founder’s Company for the amount of the Outstanding Tokens at any given time.
The SD is Dynamic such that:
* Tokens sold by Founder (removed from CW) = SD increases
* Tokens rebought (buybacks) by Founder (replaced into CW) = SD decreases
**OUTSTANDING Tokens (“OT”)**: the SD entitles SOAR to an amount of value of the Founders Company that is equivalent to AT minus CT (SD = AT - CT).
**LIQUIDITY EVENT (“LE”)**: upon the occurrence of a contractually agreed-upon Liquidity Event for the Founders Company (can be Series A/B/C, Exit, Going Public, etc), SOAR is entitled to a financial percentage equal to the SD.
***
## WHAT IT MEANS
SOAR's Functional Outcomes of the DRP Token Standard (Patent Pending):
* Token issuances are akin to Web2:
* Teams allocate a percentage of tokens to sell;
* Tokens are deployed on a bonding curve;
* Remaining tokens (Majority of supply) is un-minted for 3 months, to protect consumers and investors.
### Disclosures and Financials
Any project following the DRP Standard will be upheld to the following terms:
* 3 month lockup on future mints besides initial offering;
* Any tokens minted post-lockup period requires 3 days advance notice;
* Reasons made for any such claim are made to, and relied upon by, the public – and expose them to potential legal recourse by holders and/or other parties;
* Quarterly financial reports for businesses, subject to severe legal recourse (ie fraud/misrepresentation).
Upon the occurrence of a liquidity event that causes the Company to provide proceeds to SOAR pursuant to the senior debt obligation, SOAR as the holding company reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, dispose of the proceeds in any number of manners it so chooses:
Share value with holders (whether contractually required or not) via:
* Airdrops
* Redemptions
* Inject directly into the chart (buy tokens, potentially burn tokens, etc);
* Distribute equivalent (or portion) in other tokens;
* Buyback/Burn other tokens;
* Etc.
***
## PUT INTO CONTEXT
Joe owns a startup whiskey company he would like to tokenize and fundraise for.
Joe allocates 5% of the max token supply to the bonding curve and LP.
SOAR holds a senior debt for the equivalent of 5% of the whiskey company.
95% of the max supply is unminted.
Future mints are locked for a minimum of 3 months.
Through trading fees, Joe raises \$50,000 for his company.
***
## WHAT’S NEXT FOR JOE?
### 3 SCENARIOS
***
### 1) After 6 months, Joe has an ACQUISITION offering
* Joe is paid for 100% of the business, of which 5% of the value of the acquisition is directed back to SOAR to satisfy the Senior Debt; and
* SOAR, at its sole discretion can use the capital in any of the ways outlined above; and
* The relationships end, and all parties benefit.
***
### 2) After 6 months, Joe decides the TOKEN IS NOT VIABLE for the business despite the company being profitable
Joe, retaining majority ownership and with a small portion of supply outstanding, can satisfy the senior debt to SOAR by purchasing all outstanding tokens through a redemption, or other offering that removes all outstanding tokens off the market.
***
### 3) After 6 months, Joe needs to RAISE MORE CAPITAL
* Joe, with full token and ownership flexibility can approach both traditional investors looking for equity or work with web3 funds or traders who are interested in owning tokens in exchange for cash; or
* Should Joe go the token route, he notifies holders through the disclosure requirement that he is minting an additional 5% of the max supply, to fund further growth; or
* Unlike most tokens which have zero flexibility, Joe controls majority stake and thus can find suitable terms that help the business and benefit long-term holders by giving ample runway to the business.

![The SOAR DRP Token Standard]()
Digital Representation of Participation (Patent Pending) is a new Token Standard being put forth by SOAR.
**DISCLAIMER:** **Tokens on, or created by or through, SOAR are...**
***NOT Debt***
***NOT Equity***
***Have NO Inherent Value***
***Have NO Inherent Rights***
***Should NOT be Considered Securities***
***
## The TL;DR is as follows
* **100% of a given tokens Max Supply (1 billion) represents 100% of the Future Value of the Company**
* **5% of the Max Supply are traded in the Open Market**
* **\<= 1% of the Max Supply are available for Project Growth**
* Marketing
* Market Makers
* Exchanges
* Strategic
After 3 Months from issuance, the Founder can mint additional Tokens BUT must:
1. **Submit Request that is Published Publicly**:
* On-Chain
* SOAR’s Website
* SOAR’s X page
* Company’s X page
* By Email
2. **Wait 72hrs until minting Tokens**
3. **Explain Three Things in Request**:
* **Amount**: number of tokens being requested (required)
* **Reason**: the reason for requesting tokens (optional)
* **Use of Funds**: what the money will be used for (optional)
***
## Debt Mechanics
In exchange for launching token, Company owes SOAR money.
* Company signs a Debt Agreement with SOAR
* Upon Liquidity Event the Company must pay SOAR a Debt
* The Debt is a Percentage of the Company
* The Percentage amount is the same Percentage of Tokens in circulation relative to the Max Supply
> **Examples:**
>
> * 12% of Tokens in circulation → 12% of Company value owed to SOAR
> * 7% of Tokens in circulation → 7% of Company value owed to SOAR
> * 5% of Tokens in circulation → 5% of Company value owed to SOAR
To decrease Debt, Company must **buy back Tokens from Holders**.
Company can either:
* Use profits to grow Company, **or**
* Buy back Tokens
Buybacks are meaningful because they are tied to decreasing Debt.
If Company does not reduce debt, their circulating supply percentage upon a liquidity event will be the debt owed to SOAR.
Upon Liquidity Event, Company pays back Debt to SOAR.
SOAR retains the exclusive right to process the proceeds of the debt in accordance with the examples below. NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list.
***
## SOAR Ecosystem
SOAR’s ecosystem depends on benefitting Holders.
SOAR will do its best to always benefit Holders.
***
## Examples
* Airdrops
* Redemptions
* Inject directly into the chart (buy tokens, potentially burn tokens, etc)
* Distribute equivalent (or portion) in other tokens
* Buy back / Burn other tokens
* Etc.
# How is DRP Different?
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/drp/how-its-different
Traditional token models generally operate under a **dual token / equity structure**. In this framework, tokens are often issued as **utility or governance instruments**, while true economic ownership remains exclusively tied to company equity. As a result, the primary “cost” for teams selling tokens is simply the *opportunity cost* that those tokens might be worth more in the future. There is no direct corporate consequence for token issuance.
This disconnect is one of the key reasons why crypto valuations are so difficult to model consistently. Traditional financial frameworks (such as EBITDA-based models) fail to capture this duality. Token holders frequently lack explicit economic rights, making governance or utility tokens insufficient proxies for real ownership. As seen in examples like **\$UNI**, the private company can benefit greatly from product success, yet little to no value necessarily accrues back to the token or its holders. Real business value and token value can remain almost entirely uncorrelated.
***
## What DRP Changes
The **Digital Representation of Participation (DRP)** standard fundamentally restructures the relationship between tokens, the business, and the team launching the token.
Under DRP, tokens are not abstract utility instruments. They are tied to a **Senior Debt (SD) obligation** that the company incurs as tokens enter circulation. Anytime a Founder sells or releases tokens from custody into the market, a corresponding debt against the real business is created. Conversely, if the Founder repurchases tokens (buybacks), the debt decreases.
This introduces a **true economic opportunity cost**. Businesses can no longer treat token issuance as a risk-free fundraising mechanism. Instead, token activity directly impacts the company’s financial liability.
This structure accomplishes three critical outcomes:
1. **Eliminates the dual standard**\
Tokens are no longer parallel to equity – they become financially interconnected.\
Circulating token supply directly mirrors the percentage of company value owed to SOAR via the Senior Debt instrument.
2. **Incentivizes responsible token management**\
Teams are **disincentivized from selling tokens recklessly**, as doing so increases debt obligations. Tokens are released only when purposeful – for expansion, operations, strategic initiatives, or other justified needs.\
On the other hand, acquiring tokens back (buybacks) *reduces* debt, aligning Founder incentives with long-term token stability and value.
3. **Aligns Founders and token holders**\
Because circulating tokens create real debt exposure, Founders must consider token holders in business decision-making. This creates a **push-pull equilibrium**:
* Selling tokens increases debt → disincentive
* Buying tokens decreases debt → incentive
As a result, token supply trends toward reflecting responsible stewardship rather than unchecked dilution.
***
## Why This Matters
The DRP mechanism achieves what traditional tokenomics fail to deliver:
* **Direct linkage between token activity and business fundamentals**
* **Accountability for token issuance**
* **Incentives to conduct buybacks based on company performance**
* **Financial protection for token holders**
* **Predictable modeling tied to circulating supply**
In this framework, tokens are no longer speculative side bets. They become a transparent representation of the business’s evolving value and operational decisions. DRP transforms tokens into a **measurable financial instrument**, enabling far clearer valuation, aligned incentives, and long-term value creation.
Ultimately, DRP replaces arbitrary token models with a structure that rewards responsible Founders, protects participants, and anchors token value to real business outcomes – closing the gap between on-chain economic activity and off-chain company performance.
# DRP is Not Low Float High FDV
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/drp/not-low-float-high-fdv
When we built this platform and began releasing information on the DRP Standard, we anticipated a learning curve. At first glance, DRP tokens may appear similar to traditional **low-float, high-FDV** structures. However, this assumption misses the fundamental mechanics that make DRP different.
We wrote this section to clarify the misconception and to emphasize that **proper due-diligence on underlying companies is what makes Internet Capital Markets (ICM) powerful**. Tokens only matter when tied to real businesses, and DRP enforces that connection.
***
## Understanding DRP vs. Low Float / High FDV
In many existing crypto models, low circulating supply + high fully diluted valuation creates a misleading picture of value. Teams often hold large reserves that unlock over time, leading to supply overhang, dilution, and opaque value capture.
DRP is structurally different.
***
## Key Differences
### ✅ PFTV Represents the Entire Company Value
The **Projected Future Total Valuation (PFTV)** under DRP reflects the **total value of the company**, not just a speculative multiple.\
It maps to the entire capital stack, the business itself, rather than approximating some hypothetical terminal value.
***
### ✅ Circulating Tokens = Real Corporate Debt
Every circulating token functions as a **Senior Debt obligation** against the company.
* When a company mints more tokens → **Debt increases**
* When a company buys tokens back → **Debt decreases**
This creates real economic gravity.\
Token supply is no longer arbitrary – it carries weight.
***
### ✅ 100% PFTV Will Never Circulate
If all tokens were in circulation, the company would owe **100% of its value** – which would mean insolvency. Because the debt scales with circulating supply, doing so would destroy the company.
Therefore, **full circulation is structurally irrational**, unlike traditional systems where teams can dump nearly the entire supply if they choose.
***
### ✅ No Hidden Vesting or Emissions
There are **no automatic emissions, vesting schedules, or silent unlocks** – unless explicitly disclosed.
This eliminates the rug-pull dynamics that plague traditional token models.
***
### ✅ Unminted Tokens Are Not Silent – They Require Public Disclosure
While additional token minting unlocks after a 3-month minimum lockup, they **cannot be minted silently**.
To mint tokens, the Founder must:
* Make public disclosures on SOAR
* Post on social channels
* Notify token holders directly
* State:
* **Reason** for minting tokens
* **Use of funds**
* **Amount requested**
This creates transparency, accountability, and social pressure that discourages irresponsible actions.
If the public disagrees with the request, they can **sell ahead of release** – full information, clear choice.
***
### ✅ The Market Decides What Debt Is Healthy
Because circulating tokens represent debt, the public evaluates:
* How much debt is appropriate
* Whether the request is justified
* If the company is acting responsibly
* When the Founder becomes a bad actor by taking on irresponsible levels of debt
The public (not insiders) ultimately determines whether the company is trustworthy.
This dynamic creates **real market governance**, backed by economic reality rather than vague “governance token” rhetoric.
***
## Why This Matters
Traditional low-float, high-FDV tokens are often **optics-driven** and rely on promises, future unlocks, and speculative narratives.\
DRP removes this illusion by grounding tokens in:
* Measurable obligations
* Transparent mechanics
* Real business incentives
Companies cannot treat tokens as “free money,” because every release has a consequence.\
Likewise, buybacks have a real economic reward.
This ensures that token issuance is:
* Purposeful
* Accountable
* Mission-aligned
and that holders have **clear insight into business-aligned behaviors**.
***
## In Summary
DRP tokens are not low float / high FDV instruments because:
* Circulating tokens = real corporate debt
* PFTV = real business value
* 100% of max supply will never circulate
* No hidden emissions or vesting
* Token access requires full public disclosure
* Public can exit before unlocks
* The market determines acceptable debt behavior
DRP transforms tokens from speculative abstractions into **participatory financial instruments** backed by real incentives and real governance through transparency and market forces – the foundation of true ICM.
# Why DRP Matters
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/drp/why-it-matters
The vast majority of tokens in the market today are **functionally worthless**.\
Narratives rise, reach peak hype, and are quickly abandoned – leaving holders with little more than speculation and unrealized promises. Even among the *most successful* models, the only meaningful value accrual tends to come from **buybacks** (e.g., HYPE), where token holders rely on a business generating real revenue and using a portion of those proceeds to purchase tokens.
In these systems, token value is derived not from ownership, but from indirect speculation – a loose proxy at best. Token holders are left trying to interpret business performance without any structural link between company success and token appreciation.
***
## The Shortcomings of ICM
**Internet Capital Markets (ICM)** has been among the most compelling recent narratives.\
Yet, even ICM has failed to create a true, enforceable relationship between the token and the underlying business. Many tokens have adopted the *ICM branding*, while still inheriting the same structural flaws that disconnect business value from token value.
A token that benefits from a successful company – yet has no **obligatory financial tether** to that company – becomes, at best, an optimistic side bet. This creates fragile ecosystems where confidence alone drives price discovery.
***
## How DRP Fixes This
The **Digital Representation of Participation (DRP)** model addresses this foundational problem.
Rather than relying on indirect speculation, DRP introduces a financial framework where:
* Selling tokens incurs a **real economic opportunity cost** (via Senior Debt)
* Buying tokens back **reduces** that obligation
* Tokens reflect not “utility promises,” but tangible claim pressure tied to company performance
Teams are **penalized for selling** tokens irresponsibly and **rewarded for buybacks** when appropriate.\
This creates a natural, economic **push-pull equilibrium** that encourages responsible token management and aligns Founder interests with token holder interests.
Under DRP, value is not dependent on artificial “utility,” vague governance, or gimmick mechanisms. Instead, value is grounded in:
* Measurable financial obligations
* Transparent supply mechanics
* Founder incentives aligned with long-term health
***
## Empowering Good Founders
Strong Founders, given the right structure, can build lasting value. DRP provides that structure.
With DRP, founders retain meaningful token control that mirrors real-world ownership dynamics, while still being bound by safeguards that:
* Protect token holders
* Mitigate misuse
* Encourage transparency
As a result, startups – especially those striving to become net-profitable – are no longer forced to invent contrived “utilities” or unnecessarily dilute their token narrative just to justify value capture mechanisms.
They can simply:
* Build a strong business,
* Use profits to grow or buy back tokens responsibly,
* And let token value reflect authentic company performance.
***
## In Short
DRP gives startups a **credible, enforceable structure** that:
* Naturally anchors token value to business value
* Incentivizes buybacks when financially healthy
* Discourages predatory token issuance
* Removes the need for fabricated utility
* Aligns Founder incentives with token holders
It restores meaning to tokens – not as hype instruments, but as **participatory financial primitives** that reflect the progress, discipline, and success of the businesses behind them.
# Get Discovered
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-founders/get-discovered
**TLDR:** Initialize your project draft and publish to unlock the best SOAR has to offer. By enabling discovery early, you transition from a private venture to a public capital target, leveraging the platform’s decentralized network of Scouts and Referrers to build pre-launch velocity. Enable discovery to build an audience and early excitement through growing your community, users, and early supporters.
**Onchain Initialization (The Discovery Feed)**
"Getting Discovered" begins the moment your project draft is published.
**The Feed Logic**: New projects are programmatically prioritized in the Feed tab, providing a chronological stream of momentum for participants seeking early-stage "New Launches".
**Leveraging the Scout Network and Referral Program**
Sophisticated discovery is managed through the Scout Program, where professional "Connectors" and "Closers" vet your project for the ecosystem.
**Founder Collateral**: To be "discovered" by high-tier Scouts, investors and/or other valuable stakeholders, your profile should include high-resolution assets and a clear technical and product roadmap and objectives. The more relevant information and details, the better since it provides a more comprehensive picture of your company and what you're building.
Enabling discovery does not create a market for your product on SOAR, and does not require a project to enable a market at any time.
# Getting Started

![SOAR For Founders And Projects]()
### **The Founder Interface**
For those showcasing their companies and raising through SOAR, the dashboard shifts the focus on project management.
* **Project Management**: Founders can track their total launched and upcoming projects, as well as manage current drafts.
* **Founder Tips**: A dedicated sidebar provides a checklist to ensure your project is successful, from completing your profile thoroughly to engaging with your community early.
The central hub for any founder is the **Get Discovered** page. This is where you transition from a "Draft" to a live, liquid asset in the Internet Capital Market (ICM).
* **KPI Overview**: At the top of the interface, you can track the status of your entire portfolio: **Total Projects**, **Launched Projects**, and **Upcoming Launches**.
* **Project Lifecycle Tabs**: Organize your workflow using the status filters:
* **Scheduled**: Projects with a confirmed launch date.
* **Drafts**: In-progress setups that are not yet public.
* **Requested Curation**: Projects currently undergoing the **Verified** vetting process.
* **Launched**: Active tokens with live trading and valuation tracking.
#### **The Legal Foundation**
While a project can raise before completing verification and signing the DRP agreement, it is not encouraged. Companies that complete the entirety of the verification before launching average 5x more engagement and 10x more raised capital. The following are the legal agreements and their description so that a founder can have an understanding of what the full verification process entails on SOAR.
1. **The Launch Agreement**: Governing the technical deployment and platform terms.
2. **The Equity Agreement Addendum**: Establishing the dynamic Senior Obligation on Equity between the Founder's Company and SOAR.
3. **Verification (KYC/AML)**: These agreements are tied to mandatory KYC/AML and domain verification via third-party providers
# Project Setup
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-founders/project-setup
How to make a draft for a project to be discovered and launched on SOAR.
## What can you list?
SOAR provides the infrastructure for active ventures to scale through a public market setting and revenue stream.
Here are some examples:
* Real products, services, applications and tools
* High-Velocity Prototypes
* Companies with Defined Development Roadmaps
## **Project Setup, Basic Verification, and Verification**
### Create a Draft
Creating a project on SOAR is a guided, step-by-step process designed to maximize your "Perception vs. Reality" score.
* **General Information**: The first step requires core branding assets. You must provide a high-resolution Project Image and Banner, along with your Project Name, Website, and a compelling Description.
* **Immutable Links**: Note that your website URL is often locked after the initial step to facilitate the verification and anti-fraud process.
* **Live Preview**: The interface features a real-time "Preview" pane on the right, allowing you to see exactly how your project card will appear to participants in the Explore Feed.
### The Listing Process
Submit Venture and Product Specifications\
Detail your company's core product/service, target audience, and unique value proposition to establish your foundation. This comprehensive submission ensures your venture is accurately represented to the SOAR community.
Basic Verification or Full Verification\
Execute the mandatory identity and technical verification protocols to confirm your company’s legal integrity. Satisfying these requirements is essential to securing your status as a Verified founder and/or unlocking platform features.
Live Deployment and Market Discovery\
Finalize your setup to go live on SOAR and begin engaging with an aligned community of participants. Once active, your project facilitates organic discovery, real-time discussion, and global investor awareness.
**Important note:** Listing your venture on SOAR involves no upfront fees, providing a friction-less point of entry for founders. You maintain full autonomy over when to activate your onchain liquidity pool and enable secondary market trading for your tokens.
## **The path after going live**
What happens after you’re live on SOAR?
* You have a fully public page that anyone can view
* Anyone can view, interact, comment, and follow your latest updates
* You can decide to launch a project token anytime in the future
It’s important to note that there’s not a must to launch a token for your project.
## Basic Verification
Basic verification requires very minimal steps in order to prove association/ownership over a website to ensure projects listed on SOAR are authentic. The premise is simply to prove association with the domain within the provided website.
Note: This step is only required if the email on your account does not share domains with the provided website link.
Your options for completing this basic verification are as follows:
* Send then verify a one time passcode sent to an email with a matching domain to the provided website. I.e: [https://launchonsoar.com](https://launchonsoar.com) and [john@launchonsoar.com](mailto:john@launchonsoar.com)
* Add a unique TXT record to your websites domain. You will not have to repeat this step when completing full verification.
### Verification
SOAR's full verification process is a three step process that verifies the authenticity of a business, its founders, and ensures verified projects have signed the DRP launch agreement.
The following are the steps needed to complete SOAR's full verification process. Keep in mind **verified projects on SOAR receive the highest level of visibility, engagement, and capital** (when enabling a market).
1. **KYB + KYC via Persona**
1. Fill in your businesses basic information using the in app portal. This may include your businesses EIN/TIN, registered address, registered name, state of incorporation, beneficiaries.
2. **IMPORTANT**: Upon completing the basic business information form through the in app portal, the provided beneficiaries will receive an email from Persona to verify their identity. **Please be sure to check spam inboxes.** Beneficiaries will veirfy their identity using Persona.
3. Your KYB + KYC application will be automatically reviewed by Persona, but may be subject to further review by SOAR. This process may take 2 minutes or 24 hours. To accelerate the approval of this step please join the SOAR telegram.
2. **Verify Your Domain**
1. To verify that the website you input to your project is in fact you own, you will need to add a unique TXT record to your domain.
1. Go to your DNS provider and login to the dashboard.
2. Add a TXT record.
1. Name: \_soar-site-verification
2. Value: \
2. When the TXT record propogates on your domain it will automatically be detected by SOAR.
3. **Sign SOAR DRP Launch Agreements**
1. Using the provided information from the KYB + KYC step, sign the DRP launch agreements. You can review the contents of these agreements in full [here](https://docs.launchonsoar.com/drp).
Congratulations! Your're now positioned to maximize your success as a project on SOAR!
# Raise Capital
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-founders/raise-capital
## TLDR
1. Create your draft
2. Enable discovery to build an audience and build excitement
3. Click "Raise Capital" then "Lanch"
4. Complete verification (Optionally)
Projects that complete the full verification flow raise significantly more capital.
## 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**
1. Find early investors, partners, and stakeholders
2. Build a community
3. Earn fees early-on from market activity (onchain buying/selling)
4. 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:
1. **Complete Your Project Profile Thoroughly**: Fill out every field to build trust with participants.
2. **Connect All Your Social Channels**: Link your X and Discord to enable the social attribution engine.
3. **Get Discovered**: Use the platform's internal promotion tools to increase visibility.
4. **Raise Capital**: Successfully navigate the bonding curve to seed your initial treasury.
5. **Verify To Maximize Success**: Complete the final KYC/AML and legal check to secure your DRP Senior Debt status.
6. **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.
#### **1. Initial Capital Formation (The Raise)**
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
# Contributing To Projects

### **The Asset: Ownership Coins (OCs)**
When you participate in a launch, you are not simply "buying a coin".
* **Authorized vs. Issued**: 100% of Authorized Tokens represent 100% of the company’s future value. However, only a small fraction (typically \~5–7%) is issued at launch for public participation.
* **Senior Debt Claim**: Your OCs function as the instrument used to measure an obligation on the company’s future liquidity.
### **The Mechanics of Participation**
Participation is handled through a streamlined "Swap" interface within the SOAR app.
* **USD1 Entry**: You swap your Solana-based USD1 directly for OCs through the platform's integrated bonding curve.
* **The "Burn the Boats" Integrity**: Because SOAR enforces an FDV = Market Cap standard, you are protected from the "hidden supply" dilution found in other markets. There are no "team wallets" or venture unlocks that will dump on your position; the founders must request future tokens.
### **Safety Constraints: The 3-Month Freeze**
To prevent predatory market manipulation and ensure founders focus on business building, every launch includes a mandatory Launch Freeze.
* **Post-Launch Lock**: For the first 90 days (3 months), no additional tokens can be minted.
* **Incentive Alignment**: This period ensures that the only path to value for both the founder and the participant is the long-term viability of the underlying startup, not short-term price speculation.
### **The Path to Exit (Liquidity Events)**
Participation may conclude when the underlying business reaches a "Liquidity Event" (LE), such as an Acquisition, Series A/B/C funding, Exit, or Going Public.
* **Automatic Settlement**: Upon an LE, the company must pay a percentage of its total value back to SOAR. This percentage is measured by the circulating supply of the **OC**.
### **Participant Rewards & Yield**
Active participants can earn additional value beyond simple token appreciation through the **Participant Referral Program**.
* **Swap Fee Kickbacks (Coming Soon)**: Receive direct fee kickbacks from the users you refer.
* **Point Multipliers (Coming Soon)**: Participants who connect their X accounts and engage in social discovery can earn a 10% point bonus mirrored from their referees' activity.
# Discovering Projects
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-participants/discovering-projects
#### **Thematic Exploration & Categories**
The "Explore" tab serves as the primary entry point for discovering new ventures. Projects are categorized to help participants align their interests with specific technological sectors.
* **Sector Filters**: Use the granular category tags, such as **AI**, **Robotics**, **Energy**, and **Bio-Tech**, to narrow your search to specific industries.
* **Global Search**: Use the centralized search bar at the top of the platform to find specific projects, creators, or niche categories instantly.
#### **Integrity Indicators: Curation & Verification**
Because SOAR prioritizes founder accountability, discovery is gated by two primary status indicators:
**Curated Status**: Projects marked with a **"Curated"** tag have been vetted through our internal processes, ensuring they align with the platform's quality standards.
Important: We have updated the “Curated” status where by “Verified” projects will be eligible for Curation after being live for more than 30 days and meeting certain quality criteria to ensure alignment both with the SOAR ecosystem and its participants.
**Verified Profiles**: Look for the black/white checkmark next to a project or creator's name. This indicates the founder has completed the official SOAR verification process, ***reducing*** the risk of anonymous "rug-pull" behavior.
#### **Real-Time Market Metrics**
The discovery dashboard provides an immediate overview of a project’s financial health through live on-chain data:
* **Liquidity & Volume**: Monitor the depth of the market and 24-hour trading activity to ensure there is sufficient participation for entry and exit.
* **Holder Count**: A high number of unique holders often indicates a decentralized participant base and strong community alignment.
* **DRP Integrity**: Verify that the project adheres to the FDV = Market Cap standard, ensuring there are no hidden team wallets that could dilute your position later.
#### **The Feed: Real-Time Momentum**
For those seeking active market pulse, the "Feed" tab provides a chronological stream of project updates, new launches, and community milestones. This is the primary tool for identifying "New Launches" before they reach broader market saturation.
# Getting Started

Your journey to becoming an on-chain venture capitalist.
![SOAR For Participants And Investors (1)]()
SOAR is unlike traditional platforms that require complex external setups, it’s a self-contained ecosystem where your profile *is* your gateway to participating in startups. Follow these four steps to begin
### Access The Platform
To begin, navigate to the official SOAR [**homepage**](https://launchonsoar.com). From there, click the **"Launch App"** button in the top right corner. Alternatively, you can go directly to the [**App**](https://app.launchonsoar.com).
### Create Your Profile
Once on the app, locate the login/signup section in the top right corner.
1. **Email Onboarding**: Enter your email address to either create a new profile or log in to an existing one.
2. **OTP Security**: Access is secured via a **One-Time Password (OTP)** sent to your email. You must enter this code to verify your email and gain access to the platform's features.
3. **Automatic Wallet Generation**: The moment your profile is generated, a unique on-chain wallet is automatically created for you. There is no need to have a separate external wallet to begin participating in the ecosystem.
### **Secure Your Assets**
While the platform manages the technical layer, you maintain full sovereignty over your funds.
* **Exporting Your Phrase**: Under the menu in the top right corner, you can select **"Export Secure Phrase"** to back up your credentials. This requires a fresh OTP verification for security.
* **Primary Recommendation**: Because your email is the gateway to your OTPs and wallet access, you should enable **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** on your email account to maximize your security posture.
### **Fund Your Account**
To participate in DRP-standard launches, your integrated wallet needs to be funded with **USDC** or **USD1** on the **Solana** network.
* **On-Chain Transfer**: You can send Solana-native USDC directly to the wallet address displayed in your profile menu.
* **Fiat Deposit**: For those without existing on-chain assets, use the integrated **Coinbase** portal to deposit USDC directly from a bank account or credit card.
# Platform Brief
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-participants/participate
With a funded account, you can explore projects in the "Feed", "Explore", or "Discover" sections. When you participate, you are swapping your USD1 for **Ownership Coins (OCs)**.
### **The Participant Dashboard**
When you log in, your primary view provides an overview of your activity and the broader market.
* **Explore Feed**: A curated list of projects currently on SOAR. Each card displays critical real-time data, including the current price, creation date, and the project's sector.
* **Market Activity Table**: Below the featured projects, a live table tracks Liquidity, Price, Holders, and 24h Volume. This allows for quick comparisons across the SOAR ecosystem.
* **Verification Badges**: Look for the Curated and Verified checkmark next to project names, signifying that the founder has completed the official SOAR verification process.
### **The User Profile & Wallet Menu**
Located in the top right corner, this menu manages your identity and assets.
* **Account Overview**: Quickly view your linked wallet address (with a one-click "copy to clipboard" feature) and navigate to your active Projects and Positions.
* **Asset Deposit**: Access the Deposit Funds modal to fund your account via a standard Solana USDC transfer or a Coinbase-powered Fiat Deposit.
* **Security Controls**: From here, you can initiate the Export Secure Phrase flow or toggle Dark Mode for a more comfortable viewing experience.
# Wallets, Safety & Best Practices
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/for-participants/wallets-safety-and-best-practices
### Your Integrated SOAR Wallet
* **Automatic Generation**: A unique on-chain wallet is automatically generated the moment you create your SOAR profile.
* **No External Setup Required**: There is no need to download separate browser extensions or manage third-party applications to start participating.
* **Native Assets**: The wallet natively supports **USDC** and **USD1** on the **Solana** network, ensuring near-instant transactions with minimal fees.
### **Security & Secure Phrase Export**
While SOAR handles the technical complexity, you maintain full sovereignty over your assets. You can access and back up your private credentials at any time.
* **Exporting Your Phrase**: To view your secure recovery phrase, navigate to the menu in the top right corner of the platform and select "Export Secure Phrase".
* **OTP Verification**: For your protection, you must enter a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered email address before the phrase is revealed.
* **Sovereignty Rule**: Never share your secure phrase with anyone. SOAR team members will never ask for this information.
### **Critical Safety Precautions**
Because your email serves as a gateway to your wallet recovery, its security is paramount.
* **Email 2FA**: It is highly recommended to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) (e.g., Authenticator App or Security Key) on your primary email account to prevent unauthorized access to your OTPs.
* **Redundancy**: Write your secure phrase down physically and store it in a secure, offline location. Do not store it in cloud services or unencrypted digital notes.
### On-Chain Safety: The DRP Integrity Layer
Unlike legacy crypto platforms, SOAR builds safety into the protocol itself through the Digital Representation of Participation (DRP) standard.
* **Anti-Dilution Protection**: Every launch on SOAR enforces a strict **FDV = Market Cap** parity. You as an investor/buyer are protected from "hidden supply" because 100% of the authorized tokens are accounted for from day one, with only \~5–7% minted for initial liquidity.
* **The 3-Month Launch Freeze**: To protect you from "pump and dump" volatility, the platform enforces a mandatory **3-month lock** on token mints post-launch. This ensures founders are focused on business growth rather than market manipulation. This facilitates more alignment between the project founders and investors.
### Participant Best Practices
To maintain the security of your assets, adhere to these "Rules of the Road" (they may be updated in the future):
* **Seed Phrase Sovereignty**: Never share your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, including SOAR staff. There is no scenario where a platform or support team requires your seed phrase.
* **Verify the "Source of Truth"**: Before participating in a launch, check the SOAR dashboard to verify the Project and that it’s legitimate.
### Avoiding "Intro-Spam" and Social Scams
As a participant, you may be targeted by actors claiming to be "Scouts" or platform representatives.
* **Official Channels**: Only trust information provided via the official SOAR website ([launchonsoar.co**m**](http://launchonsoar.com)) and documentation ([**docs.launchonsoar.com**](http://docs.launchonsoar.com)).
* **No Direct Requests**: SOAR will never send you a direct message (DM) asking for funds or "wallet validation."

# Curated & Verified Badges
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/curated-verified-unverified
The SOAR platform offers three distinct project classifications to help participants understand the level of information, diligence, and screening associated with each launch. These labels are designed to provide clarity – not to determine quality – and to give users the context they need when evaluating opportunities.
## ✈️ Curated Projects
Curated projects represent the **highest standard of screening on SOAR**. Denoted by the blue checkmark on platform.
A project receives the **Curated** label when:
* The project has been **trading on SOAR > 30 days**
* The SOAR team has conducted **in-depth research and review**
* Material **business details have been verified**
* Founders and teams have demonstrated **strong execution and credibility**
Curated projects are often companies with:
* A clear operating history
* Product-market validation
* Strong founder backgrounds
* Transparent communications and disclosures
> While not a guarantee of success, and SOAR does not endorse any project, **Curated** projects reflect the most thoroughly reviewed companies on the platform.
## ✅ Verified Projects
Verified projects have completed **basic business and founder validation**, ensuring they are legitimate and operating entities. Denoted by the black/white checkmark on platform.
A project receives the **Verified** label when:
* The team has **completed identity and business verification**
* The team has **verified their domain** by adding a unique TXT record
* The team has **signed the DRP launch agreement**
Verified projects are permisionlessly verified, so we recommend conducting your own dilligence, but they may be:
* Earlier stage
* Less publicly disclosed
* Still refining their vision or model
Verified projects are permisionlessly verified, indicating some form of credibility, but does not ever imply SOAR endorsement.
## Projects
Basic projects are launches where the team has **not completed SOAR’s full verification process**. However, they have completed a basic verification.
Basic verification includes completing a one time passcode sent to an email sharing the same domain as the website listed on the project. This is the minimum level of verification required to be publically listed on the SOAR platform.
This means:
* Someone within the listed company has put the project on SOAR
* Limited transparency exists
* **DRP Launch Agreement is not signed**
This may mean:
* The project or founder identity is unverified
* Business documentation has not been reviewed
* Disclosures may be incomplete
Users should exercise increased caution and conduct their own research before participating.
## Summary
| Label | Identity Verified | Business Reviewed | Domain Verified | Curated by SOAR | DRP Signed | Endorsed by SOAR | Intended Meaning |
| ------------ | ----------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | --------------- | ---------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Curated** | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Strongly reviewed + highlighted |
| **Verified** | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Partial/Basic | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Enforceable DRP agreement, but not curated |
| **Project** | ❌ No | ❌ No | ⚠️ Partial/Basic | ❌ No | ❌ No | ❌ No | Unknown; perform full diligence |
### Final Note
These labels exist to **increase transparency – not to provide investment advice**.\
All projects on SOAR can eventually sign the DRP agreeement, but it is not required to launch as an Unverified project, users are encouraged to perform their own due diligence and evaluate businesses based on fundamentals, disclosures, and growth potential.
# FAQ
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/faq
Your frequent questions answered.
### Foundational & High-Level
What is an Internet Capital Market (ICM)?
* An ICM is an on-chain alternative to traditional private equity and venture capital. It allows for the global, transparent formation of capital where startups can raise non-dilutive funds and participants gain liquid exposure to early-stage growth.
How do Ownership Coins (OCs) differ from traditional governance tokens?
* Most governance tokens are just “regular coins”. OCs represent an instrument used to measure a Debt obligation.
What does the “SOAR way” mean for a launch?
* It is a standard of total commitment. We mint only the tokens required for initial liquidity (\~6–7%) and ensure no hidden supply or "team wallets" exist to dilute holders later.
### For Participants
How does the 3-Month Launch Freeze protect me as an investor/buyer?
* The freeze prevents any token movement for 90 days post-launch. This eliminates the "pump and dump" cycle and ensures that the founder’s only path to value is building the actual business.
Why is FDV = Market Cap important?
* In traditional crypto, a low circulating supply often hides a massive Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) that eventually crashes the price during unlocks. SOAR enforces **FDV = Market cap** so that the price you see is the true valuation of the entire project.
* Importantly, additional tokens minted represents increasing a debt obligation against the issuing company, forcing founders to sustainably inflate token supply.
### For Founders
If there is no "team wallet," how do I make money?
* Founders are incentivized through the 3-month launch freeze. As the company hits this window, the system permits the minting of additional tokens for the team. You earn your equity through growth and long-term alignment, not through a launch-day gift.
Is the capital raised non-dilutive?
* Yes, because the DRP launch agreement represents an interest free debt instrument that can be paid back at any time, founders maintain 100% ownership of their company’s voting shares while accessing liquid capital from the global market.
What happens if my project fails?
* Like any debt instrument, if a company fails, the debt remains a liability. The specifics of recovery depend on the legal jurisdiction and the assets remaining within the project's treasury.
## Technical & Security
Is the DRP standard compatible with existing wallets?
* Yes. While the logic behind the DRP is novel and patent-pending, the tokens are built to be compatible with standard on-chain infrastructure and wallets.
# What is SOAR
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/home
A brief introduction to SOAR.
![SOAR Your Gateway To The Future Of Capital Formation And Startup Investing (1)]()
## SOAR: Your Gateway to the Future of Capital Formation
**SOAR** opens access to the world’s most promising startups – all on-chain.\
It’s more than a fundraising platform; it’s an **entirely new capital market**, where anyone, anywhere can gain **liquid exposure** to early-stage companies previously limited to private circles.
For founders, **SOAR** provides a path to **raise non-dilutive capital**, maintain ownership, and engage a community of aligned supporters – while participants gain a transparent, liquid asset in the next generation of innovation.
# How SOAR Works
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/icm
A linear view of the transaction from the moment a founder launches to a liquidity event.
**1. Strict Launch Protocol**: Founders define a total fixed supply where **FDV = Market Cap**. Only the capital required for liquidity (\~6–7%) is minted initially; no "team wallets" or hidden reserves are created.
**2. The 3-Month Freeze**: Post-launch, all capital and token movements enter a mandatory 3-month "Launch Freeze". This prevents immediate "pump and dump" behavior and forces the founder to focus on initial business milestones.
**3. Debt Settlement**: (The Exit via acquisition, IPO, etc): Because OCs are legally binding Senior Debt obligations, the system enforces a "debt first" rule. In the event of an IPO or acquisition, the company is legally barred from finalizing the exit until the debt to token holders (the OCs) is settled.
By standardizing these rules and overall process, SOAR creates a global, liquid marketplace where startups are treated as real financial assets rather than speculative memes.
# Key Concepts & Glossary
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/key-concepts-and-glossary
### The Internet Capital Market (ICM) Pillar
*Concepts defining the new landscape of on-chain capital formation.*
* **Internet Capital Market (ICM)**: A blockchain-native financial system where capital is pooled, issued, and traded globally without traditional intermediaries. It bridges the gap between early-stage innovation and retail liquidity, allowing anyone with an internet connection to participate in startup growth.
* **On-chain Capital Formation**: The process of raising funds directly on a blockchain through transparent smart contracts, replacing traditional "private circle" VC rounds.
* **Consumer Ownership**: A shift from "users" to "owners," where participants hold assets that represent a direct claim on a company’s success rather than just platform utility.
### The DRP Token Standard & Ownership Coins
*Technical and legal definitions for SOAR's proprietary standard.*
* **Digital Representation of Participation (DRP)**: SOAR's patent-pending token standard designed to provide a canonical reference for participation, moving away from the "governance token" model.
* **Ownership Coin (OC)**: The primary asset type on SOAR. Unlike "Donation Coins," OCs are tokens used to measure a private claim claim on a company's future liquidity event (IPO or Acquisition).
* **Senior Debt Obligation**: In the SOAR context, this means that the private agreement between SOAR the platform and the company experiencing a liquidity event, must settle the obligation first according to the measurement derived from the OC.
* **The "Burn the Boats" Standard**: An integrity-first launch mechanism where founders mint only the tokens required for initial liquidity (typically \~6–7%) and "burn" the ability to access a hidden supply.
### **SOAR Valuation & Integrity Metrics**
*Math-heavy concepts that enforce radical transparency.*
* **FDV = Market Cap Standard**: The core rule that FDV = Market Cap. This eliminates the "low float, high FDV" trap by ensuring no hidden tokens exist in team wallets to dilute holders later.
* **FDV = Total Supply x Current Price**
* **MarketCap = Circulating Supply x Current Price**
* On SOAR, **Total Supply = Circulating** Supply at launch.
* **Launch Freeze**: A mandatory 3-month period post-launch where tokens are prevented from further mints to prevent immediate "pump and dump" behavior and force focus on business growth.
### **Roles & Ecosystem Participants**
*The people who power the SOAR engine.*
* **Founders**: Entrepreneurs launching projects on SOAR who agree / may agree to the DRP standard.
* **Participants**: Individuals who contribute capital by trading OCs, gaining liquid exposure to startup innovation.
* **Scouts**: Ecosystem participants who identify and vet promising projects for the platform, often incentivized through referral or reward programs.
# Mission & Vision
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/mission-and-vision
Where this is all going.
## Mission
SOAR is building the infrastructure for the **Internet Capital Market**, providing founders with non-dilutive capital while offering participants and investors liquid exposure to the world's most promising startups.
## Vision
To establish the **Digital Representation of Participation (DRP)** as the canonical global standard for on-chain capital formation, bridging the gap between early-stage innovation and retail liquidity.
### Radical Transparency
Moving beyond the "private circles" of traditional VC to a curated, on-chain marketplace where everyone, anywhere, can participate in the next generation of innovation.
# What is DRP
Source: https://docs.launchonsoar.com/overview/what-is-drp
**The Digital Representation of Participation (DRP)** is a patent-pending token standard that enforces a "burn the boats" integrity model, ensuring a strict FDV = Market Cap parity where 100% of authorized tokens represent 100% of a company’s future value. Anchored by a legally binding Senior Debt agreement, the percentage of circulating tokens defines the company’s financial obligation to SOAR during a liquidity event, such as an IPO or acquisition.
By locking the majority of supply behind public, performance-based disclosures and rewarding token buybacks to reduce obligations, the DRP standard aligns founder incentives directly with holder value, transforming tokens into credible primitives grounded in authentic business performance.
