Pipeline

To begin with you need to create your new pool. Click on Create pool and fill all the required deatails about your pool. For the test you can use ICO address provided by us 0x6e2d973Bd56a6b2fA1257Fb6DD3Ccb28d7916283. It is a simple ICO crowdsale contract that will send back 1 token for each ETH it gets. Set your cap limits and fee percentage that you take and click Create.

After that you will be provided with the screen with all the data required to send the transaction to the network to create your pool.

Click Send Tx and Metamask confirmation window will appear. Confirm the transaction by clicking green Sumbit button.

You will see the confirmation alert that the transaction was succesfully sent. In several seconds it will be mined and your pool will be created and its link will appear at your dashboard.

From the management screen you can control the state of your pool. While your pool is in open state, you can only wait until minimal cap will be reached, or you can fail your pool and every participant will be able to get their money back. Also at some point you will need to set token address, so that every participant will be able to claim their tokens. If you are using test ICO provided by us then the token address is 0x7643850E37C001F5CCd740eD3340D53cB8C442F2. Also there is Open as investor button which leads to the investor’s view of the pool. You can participate by yourself or send the link to other people to participate.

Investor’s view has other actions. While pool is in open state everybody can deposit or withdraw their funds.

When your pool collects more than minimal cap funds you wiil be able to send funds to the ICO.

After the funds are sent you will be able to collect fees.

And when contract will receive tokens, investor’s view will show available tokens in the Info block. Also Claim tokens button will be available.
