Follow these steps to install and run Mintlify on your operating system.

​
Before you start

You’ll need:
  • A Stellar wallet connected to mainnet
  • At least 200 XLM to cover the deployment fee
  • A raise target in mind
  • A raise duration (minimum 72 hours, maximum 90 days)
1

Connect Your Wallet

Go to Create Launch in the app. Connect your Stellar wallet. Lumena will verify you’re activated before allowing you to proceed.
2

Set Project Details

Enter your project name, category, and a description. This content is public and appears on your raise page. Be specific, vague projects raise less. You cannot change this after deployment.
3

Configure Raise Parameters

Set your target amount and duration. Set your monthly expenses and budget. These are enforced by the contract and cannot be changed after deployment. Choose conservatively. A completed raise builds more trust than a failed one.
4

Deploy

Approve the transaction in your wallet. The 200 XLM deployment fee is charged at this step. Your raise is live immediately. It appears on Explore Projects within seconds.

​
Raise parameters

target     // USDC amount required for success (minimum 100 USDC)
duration   // Window for contributions (min 72h, max 90d)
deployer   // Stellar addresses that receives funds on success
status     // LIVE | COMPLETE | REFUNDING — updated by the contract

​
Deployment Fee

A flat fee of 200 XLM is charged when your contract is deployed. This fee goes to the Lumena protocol treasury, governed by futarchy. It is not refundable — even if your raise fails to meet its target.

​
Platform Success Fee

A variable fee of 3% is charged when your fundraising contract is completed successfully. This fee goes to the Lumena protocol treasury for platform operations.
Raise parameters are immutable after deployment - You cannot change your target, duration, monthly allowance or project details once the contract is live. Think carefully before deploying. If you need to restart, you’ll need to deploy a new smart fundraising contract.
