# Fundraising Lifecycle Sigma3’s fundraising process follows six transparent, verifiable stages: 1. **Project Onboarding & Assessment**\ Projects undergo GPT360’s due diligence covering technical, market, and operational readiness. Only those with confirmed listing intent move forward. 2. **Verification & Provider Alignment**\ All exchanges, tokenomics, and provider agreements are validated by GPT360. Wallets of exchanges and providers are whitelisted into the fundraising smart contract. 3. **Fundraising Launch**\ Verified projects open rounds for investors and $G360 stakers. All raised capital is locked in smart-contract escrow pending milestone completion. 4. **Listing Confirmation**\ GPT360 verifies that exchange sign-offs, listing dates, and token locks are in place before funds are eligible for release. 5. **Controlled Fund Release**\ Funds are automatically distributed to whitelisted wallets only after successful verification - no manual intervention possible. 6. **Refund or Reallocation**\ If milestones are not met within the defined timeframe, 100% of funds are refunded to investors. Partial releases are strictly prohibited. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
