For Contributors

Everything you need to know about participating, earning rewards, and securing your funds.

Contributing Phase

• Fundraising Window: Contributors can deposit BERA during a 7-day fundraising window. Contributions are organized into tiers (VIP, whitelist, public) with a uniform token price for all participants.

• Graduation: Once the fundraising target is met, the DAO graduates and moves to the operational phase.

• Token Deployment: After graduation, the DAO Manager selects the date to deploy the DAO token on Kodiak V3. Liquidity is locked, and trading begins.

Single-Sided Liquidity Protection

Our platform uses an innovative Single-Sided Liquidity Mechanism that protects your contribution value:

• DAO tokens cannot be traded below your initial contribution price unless additional liquidity is added at lower ranges

• This creates a theoretical price floor that shields your investment from significant downside risk

• You can still trade freely above this price at any time

• The price protection remains active throughout the fund's lifecycle

Participation Tiers

The tier system is flexible and can be adjusted by the DAO Manager to meet their specific needs in terms of max allocation per tier and times for contribute. Below is an example of a proposed structure.

VIP Access

• Eligibility: Priority contributors selected by DAO Managers

• Allocation: 60% of total fundraising target

• Benefits: Larger allocation limits than other tiers

• Timing: 1 hour head start before whitelist access

• Process: Receive VIP status directly from DAO Managers

Whitelist Access

• Eligibility: $TRR holders and other approved communities

• Allocation: 40% of total target plus unused VIP allocations

• Benefits: Early access before public round

• Timing: Opens after VIP round and 1 hour before public access

• Process: Join whitelist through community events or TRR holdings

Public Access

• Eligibility: Open to everyone

• Allocation: Any remaining capacity after VIP and WL rounds

• Timing: Opens after whitelist round concludes

• Process: First-come, first-served until fundraising target is reached

FAQ for Contributors

Can I withdraw funds before expiration?

No direct withdrawals are allowed during the operational phase, but you can sell your DAO tokens anytime on Kodiak V3 if market conditions permit.

What happens if the DAO doesn't graduate?

If a DAO fails to meet its fundraising target, all contributed funds are automatically refunded to users.

How do I participate in voting?

At the 6-week mark, a vote is created on beravote.com. You'll need to hold a minimum amount of DAO tokens (set by the manager) to participate.

The DAO Manager is responsible for the creation and communication of the vote. In case of non-compliance Tierra will not allow the expansion of its DAO.

What happens after expiration?

If the community votes to extend, the fund continues for another 8 weeks. Otherwise, assets are liquidated into BERA for proportional claims.

What happens if a DAO manager moves funds outside the smart contract?

If funds leave the smart contract or Berachain, Tierra cannot execute administrative functions like freezing and asset distribution. This creates significant risk as security measures would no longer protect your investment.

How do I track my rewards?

All rewards are visible in the staking interface. You can track BGT in real-time.
