FAQ for Managers

How much control do I have over fund assets?

You have full control to deploy assets within the Berachain ecosystem, but funds must remain in the smart contract to maintain security features.

What happens if I move funds outside the smart contract?

Moving funds outside the contract disables Tierra's administrative functions, including the secure expiration process. Tierra will communicate this risk to your community.

How are the tiers for my fundraising organized?

You provide a spreadsheet with detailed tier information, including allocation sizes and wallet addresses. Tierra team implements this in the smart contract.

What's the minimum fundraising target?

Target amounts are determined collaboratively between you and the Tierra team based on your strategy and community size.

How can I maximize BGT emissions for my DAO?

Focus on generating trading volume to increase fees sent to Tierra Vault as validator bribes. This enhances BGT emissions directed to your farm.
