Option
Description
From Proposal ID
You can import investors who participated in this investment with one click by using the Proposal ID. If you have used Receipt NFT in an investment proposal, you can quickly import current NFT holders by entering the Proposal ID. If the NFT is transferred, it will point to the current NFT holder rather than the original investor of the investment.
From CSV
Upload a CSV file to bulk import vesting receivers.
Manually
Manually enter the vesting receivers.

Receivers From Proposal ID

You can add Receivers by entering a Proposal ID for an investment proposal. There are two scenarios: A) The investment proposal does not use the NFT feature (specifically referring to Receipt Collection, see the NFT section for more details). B) The investment proposal uses the NFT feature (Receipt NFT).

After you enter the Proposal ID, the system will automatically determine whether the investment proposal uses the NFT feature, and import the corresponding Receivers.

  • Automatically import investor addresses (Receipt NFT feature not used).
  • Automatically import current Receipt NFT holder addresses (Receipt NFT feature used). If investors haven't minted NFTs, import addresses of investors who haven't minted NFTs.

You only need to enter the total token amount for this vesting in the Total Amount field. The system will automatically allocate token quantities to receivers based on the investment proportion data of investors or NFT holders in this investment.

When you complete the setup, the Receiver List will display the list of vesting receivers you imported and the amount of tokens allocated to each of them.

Receivers From CSV

You need to upload a CSV file that records the wallet addresses of the vesting receivers and the number of tokens. After you successfully import it, the Receiver List will display the list of vesting receivers you imported and the number of tokens allocated to each of them. You can download a CSV template file from this module.

Receivers Manually

You can manually enter the wallet address and token amount for each vesting receiver, click the + button, and add them to the Receiver List.

NFT

You can enable NFT for this vesting. When the NFT function is used, the vesting beneficiary is assigned an NFT to represent their vesting claiming eligibility, and transferring the NFT transfers his representative's vesting claiming eligibility.

See NFT for a detailed introduction to NFT functions.

When you are finished, click Create button to complete the vesting deployment.

View Vesting

After you successfully create a vesting, you can see it on the homepage of the Vesting App. Click on the card to enter the details page of that vesting. You can view the data and progress of the vesting on this page.
