Roadmap & Milestones

Define your project deliverables

Milestones are your roadmap items for backers. They help evaluate your project and track progress — but they do not directly control fund release.

MILESTONES VS TRANCHES

MILESTONES (ROADMAP)

-- Show what you plan to build

-- Display-only, NOT fund-gating

-- Help backers decide to challenge

TRANCHES (FUND RELEASE)

-- 10% instant + 15% monthly x 6

-- Released by TIME, not milestones

-- Only blocked by challenges

// 01_HOW_MILESTONES_WORK

Define Your Roadmap

Create 1-10 milestones during raise setup. Each should describe a specific deliverable.

Build & Ship

Work on your project. Milestones are visible to backers on your project page.

Receive Tranches

Funds release on a time schedule (10% + 15% monthly), regardless of milestone completion.

Future: Update Progress

We’re building milestone status updates with proof — for display and communication.
