PAID Network offers three different participation pools: the exclusive EarlyPool, Early Access to OpenPool, and the public OpenPool. Some projects will add an additional pool, named 'Whitelist Pool' in order to incentivise their community to participate.
Pool Tiers
PAID Network supports decentralised fundraising, ensuring participation equality for large holders while maintaining accessibility for everyone. Our platform enables large raises for top-tier projects, allowing a wider audience to participate in fundraising activities.
EarlyPool: Exclusive to larger $PAID token holders, providing priority access. 5% PAID Protocol Revenue applies.
Whitelist Pool: this pool is aimed at the project’s audience, where each user has a set allocation. It occurs at the same time as EarlyPool. 15% PAID Protocol Revenue applies.Early Access to OpenPool: Available for smaller $PAID token stakers, offering early access before the public. 10% PAID Protocol Revenue applies.
OpenPool: Open to all users on a first-come, first-serve (FCFS) basis, with no staking required. 15% PAID Protocol Revenue applies.
Hybrid Model
Prefixed Configuration: Guaranteed allocations are based on Pledge & staking amounts.
(e.g., 75,000 $PAID staked = 1 allocation, 150,000 $PAID staked = 2 allocations).
Unrestricted Configuration: No allocation restriction for those staking 75,000 or more $PAID tokens.
The model’s flexibility allows for tailored crowdfunding events, either with prefixed or unrestricted individual allocations, ensuring efficient & fair distribution.
