Fundraising Status

For fundraising, we plan to use a staking-based model where backers stake ETH to support development, ensuring accountability and transparency. Funds will be unlocked in milestones, preventing misuse, and once ZK-Proofs are integrated, teams will have to prove milestone completion before receiving the next tranche. Early supporters may receive bonus rewards, governance rights, or profit-sharing, making the funding process fair, trustless, and fraud-proof. 🚀
