The documentation includes an overview of the business, details on how revenue is calculated, access to the live revenue dashboard, and the official raise page. The raise begins on **June 30th at 1:00 PM ET** and remains open until **July 4th at 1:00 PM ET**. Participation is not available before the raise officially opens. Follow these steps to participate in the Laso raise. Step 1: Visit the Official Raise Page Go to the official MetaDAO raise page: The page includes information about the project, the raise mechanism, participation requirements, and links to additional documentation. Step 2: Wait for the Raise to Open The raise is open during the following window: * Opens: June 30th at 1:00 PM ET * Closes: July 4th at 1:00 PM ET Participation is not available before the raise officially opens. Step 3: Connect a Solana Wallet Once the raise is live, connect a Solana-compatible wallet, such as: * Phantom * Backpack * Solflare * Any other Solana-compatible wallet Important: EVM wallets, including MetaMask, cannot be used to participate. Step 4: Fund Your Wallet with USDC on Solana Participation requires USDC on the Solana network. Before submitting your participation, make sure your connected wallet has enough USDC available. Step 5: Submit Your Participation After your wallet is connected and funded, you can submit your participation while the raise remains open. Step 6: Wait for Allocation Finalization Once the raise closes, Laso will finalize allocations. Because the allocation process includes a discretionary component, your allocation may not be be available for redemption immediately after the raise ends. The team will first complete the allocation process, after which redemption will be made available shortly afterward.
