Today, we’re excited to share the launch of Fundrs Version 3, a milestone in our pursuit of a merit-based participatory economy. Fundrs V3 introduces important startup-facing features that make it easier for startups to onboard, launch, and fundraise on the platform, enhancing their experience and broadening access to capital.
Fundrs has become one of the definitive platforms for crypto projects looking to raise capital in their seed and pre-seed phases. With more than USD 3M raised to date in pre-seed fundraising rounds, the Burn & Earn feature launch, and more startups in the pipeline, the platform continues to demonstrate the power of a participatory economy based on merit.
The Nexera community can access vetted projects in pre-seed/seed rounds before they are listed on exchanges through the platform. Previously exclusive to venture capitalists with large budgets, this opportunity is now available to everyone.
Nexera remains committed to providing the blueprint for success, specifically for startups early in their timeline. Across our ecosystem, we incorporate technologies and practices into Fundrs, giving startups the full experience of Nexera.
This article will walk through some of Fundrs V3’s exciting new features, including the updated flow for startup onboarding, a fresh look for the Fundrs landing page, the $MERIT token, and more. This release marks a significant step forward in making it easier for startups to onboard, paving the way for the future of the wider Nexera ecosystem.
Updated Startup Onboarding Flow
Fundrs V3 introduces a new flow for startups looking to onboard to our platform. We have also made it even easier to get listed on Fundrs.
The dashboard is straightforward. Split into three parts: Project, Sale and Final Checks.
Project
The Project section is where startups add their project information. They can then create a pitch for the community to review, ensuring key propositions are highlighted and utilizing headings for styling clarity. Startups should also include links to their social media accounts and provide background information about their team.
Sale
The Sale section is where startups can set up their fundraising campaign. In this section, they can add details about their token, such as the ticker, the network it will be available on, and its circulating supply. They can also specify the date of the fundraiser, the currency they wish to accept, ticket allocation, and cost. Additionally, startups can choose who can participate in the sale via the whitelist dropdown, selecting options such as $NXRA stakers or Whitelist Wallet holders and determining their ticket allocation.
Final Checks
In the Final Checks section, startups will see a summary of all the data entered. Once they are satisfied with the information, they can submit their application to the Fundrs team, who will update them on the progress.
For a more detailed view, be sure to check out our Founder and CEO, Rachid Ajaja, who shows the dashboard in action.
Future versions of Fundrs will also include a new flow for startups to set up Burn & Earn events easily.
A New Look For Our Site
Out with the old and in with the new. A refreshed Fundrs website will be launched in the coming weeks to enhance the user experience for the community and startups. The updated homepage will make it easier for the community and $NXRA token holders to navigate the platform, allowing them to get started quickly and easily. A dedicated page for startups will also help them better understand Fundrs’ value proposition, helping them see the platform’s benefits and opportunities for their needs.
Launching on Fundrs provides startups invaluable access to our extensive expertise, supportive community, robust network of connections, and cutting-edge technology and solutions. By launching on our platform, startups can leverage the Fundrs ecosystem to connect with experienced professionals, gain insights from the vibrant Fundrs community, and tap into a wide array of industry connections, such as the Plug and Play Network. Additionally, startups benefit from our cutting-edge technology, designed to streamline operations and accelerate growth, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to succeed in a competitive landscape.
Startups don’t just list their projects on Fundrs — they get a fully bespoke package fit to nurture them and their brand from the ground up. As we empower startups to thrive, it is in our best interest to set this coherent entry point.
Introducing the $MERIT Token
With Fundrs V3, we are excited to introduce the $MERIT token. This new reputation token not only inherits the utility of $rALBT but also lays the groundwork for more features. Users earn $MERIT for:
- Rating startups listed on Fundrs.
- Participating in discussions.
- Performing different actions on Fundrs.
So far, 536M $MERIT has already been claimed, with 97.7M $NXRA staked on Fundrs.
Once back online, earning $MERIT will also be possible through our Burn & Earn events. Simply staking $NXRA deepens the community incentive.
We want to reward users who actively participate in the thriving community of startups, investors, and contributors.
Deployment Plan: What to Expect Next
As we move forward with the launch of Fundrs V3 regular developments will be coming from the Nexera team. Here’s what you can expect in the coming weeks. Our roadmap is packed with updates that will introduce new features that enhance your experience within the Nexera ecosystem.
Staking Goes Online
The wait is over! The Fundrs platform is now live again. We’ve reinstated staking, so you can start staking your $NXRA tokens and earn $MERIT, our new reputation token.
Users who claimed their $rALBT will receive a 1:1 replacement of $MERIT directly in their wallets, replacing their old $rALBT. If they have $rALBT on Ethereum, their $MERIT will arrive soon, well before any sale or event on Fundrs.
Sales Feature Returns
We’ll then be reactivating the Sales feature. Once live, you can claim tokens from previous fundraising rounds and participate in upcoming ones. We celebrated this in style with the recent NitroDome listing. Don’t worry if you missed this one, we’ve got more listings in our pipeline!
Burn & Earn Returns: Get Ready to Reignite the Flames
Burn & Earn will also be back! If you missed out on previous events, now’s your chance to get involved. Scheduled Burn & Earn events will resume with updated dates, allowing you to burn tokens and earn rewards. Brillion’s recent transition from $DUA to $BRLN will feature an event on Fundrs so keep an eye out!
Finding Our Feet With Fundrs
We’ve had a lot to unpack in this article. With the launch of Fundrs V3, we want to thank our community for staying loyal to our vision through thick and thin.
Fundrs V3 will be the start of a huge transition for our platform and Nexera. We hope our community envisions prosperity as much as our team does
