Overview

Anything you want to build, Pond has you covered from seed funding all the way to go-to-market. Here is what you need to know:

• Take part in our periodic hackathons to showcase a prototype of your idea. You can also leverage the opportunity to find and team up with other builders. Winners from the hackathon will be able to move their projects to the Markets with one click. See Hackathon for details.
• As your project is moved to the Markets, you will be able to fill out the amount of seed funding you need and your project milestones. If you are new to web3, no worries, we have thought carefully about the options and you can go ahead with the default values. See Markets for details.
• Once your project is created, it will go through 3 phases: Proposed, Seeding, and Active.
  • In the Proposed phase, the community will post their questions in the Discussion area. Timely responses to those questions will greatly help with the community backing results. The people here will likely be your first users! This phase lasts for 3 days.
  • In the Seeding phase, a project token will be launched and is used to exchange for community contributions to your project. This phase lasts for 24 hours.
  • Once the target amount is reached, your project will become Active and a fraction of your project token will be migrated to a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). You will receive funds from the auction for your development.
• To facilitate your development process, we provide a suite of tools and building blocks. Check out AI Studio for notebooks, agent tooling, etc., and Integration Hub for access to tools and APIs others have built on Pond.
• Once your product is ready, it will be available on our App Store, Integration Hub, or both, depending on the nature of your product.
• Pond also helps you with the tedious but important things like finding users, marketing, operations, and so on. Check out Accelerator for details.
