  • Internal ( entry available only to BBT Token Holders and offers a Funding Discount - Fixed Program if other phases are created ) ( optional )
  • Pre-ICO ( usually the phase where you attract investors from the outside ) ( optional )
  • ICO ( main funding phase )

  • Type 1 - Fixed
  • Type 2 - Progressively Lower
• For each created Funding Phase select a Token Stake Calculation And Distribution Algorithm

  • Type 2 - Sell a fixed amount of tokens for a fixed price
  • Type 3 - Sell a variable amount of tokens for a fixed price

Reviewing a Crowd Funding Project

• Review Platform Fees
  • Dynamic Platform Base Fee breakout
• Preview Crowd Funding Project Page and share with others.
• Make updates on anything you want before Launching

Launching the Crowd Funding Project

• You may use the Current Version BlockBits Platform Sandbox to test everything without consequences to your Ethereum wallet if you so desire.

• Again, make sure you have enough ETH to cover the BlockBits - Listing Requirements and understand the Project Specifications

• Once you are 100% satisfied with your Project Page and Settings you need to use the "Generate Smart Contract" option in the Project Launch Dashboard.

• This will output the source code of all contracts you need to deploy.

• At this stage you can opt to have a 3rd party programmer look at them and validate the things the contract does are the ones stated in the Creation Wizard.

• If you are satisfied and want to continue, start the Crowd Funding Project - Deployment Procedure.

• Make sure to follow the instructions to the letter, and if you have issues, use the support forum for help.

Crowd Funding Lifecycle

Funding Successful

Based on selected Token Stake Calculation And Distribution Algorithm tokens and ETH will be distributed.

Funding Failed

Funding Failed CashBack procedure is activated.

Crowd Funding Project End of life

Just like BlockBits, the child project has the ability to use Code Upgrades in order to Evolve.

Crowd Funding Project - Deployment Procedure

• Make sure you are using a Web3 compatible browser like Mist, or have the MetaMask addon for Chrome / Firefox / Opera installed and your wallet linked and unlocked.

• This wallet needs to hold enough ETH to cover BlockBits - Listing Requirements plus gas requirements for contract deployment. Cost will be provided by the Creation Wizard.

• Deploy all provided contracts into the BlockChain by using the assigned "Deploy Contract" Button.

  • This sends transactions to the BlockBits Deployer and Validator in order to clone each asset required, and setup your settings in the new project instance.

• Each deployment will trigger a Web3 Request in your browser, that you need to APPROVE.

• If approved by you the Main ApplicationEntity Contract's address is known and can be used to deploy the Dependency Contracts

• Once you deploy all Contracts, go to https://etherscan.io/verifyContract and using the new contract addresses and provided source code, and create validations for each.

• After EtherScan Validation Step is complete, go back to the BlockBits Platform and trigger a Contract Validation.

• If the Contract Validation is successful, you can now get your Crowd Funding Project listed on BlockBits by initiating a Listing Request.

• Click on the "Initiate Listing" button in the My Crowd Funding Projects List.

• This will trigger a Web3 Request in your browser, that you need to APPROVE.

• This is where you send the BlockBits - Listing Requirements fee to the BlockBits ListingContract in order to appear in the BlockBits Platform.
