verification

Every builder launching on star.fun goes through a GitHub-based verification process. This helps us keep the platform meritocratic and focused on real builders.

GitHub OAuth - You’ll connect your personal GitHub account. We scan for commit activity, contributions, and general repo stats. Your personal profile is required and carries the most weight in our review.

Open source links - If you’re an open-source builder, you can also submit links to your public repos. We look at recent activity, code quality, originality, and the complexity of your work.

What we review - We consider how long you’ve been active on GitHub, your open source contributions, stars, and commit history. We also check for authenticity—so just buying someone else’s GitHub account won’t cut it. We review your profile in the context of your project to make sure everything lines up.

Verification and rating - Your project’s verification status and rating will be visible on the platform. If you think your stats need an update, just reach out and we’ll review your profile again.

vesting

We enforce transparent, mandatory vesting schedules for every project, ensuring that teams and investors stay aligned for the long term. Each project page clearly displays the vesting schedule, so anyone can see exactly when tokens unlock and what commitments the team has made.

Vesting means that team tokens aren’t released all at once—they’re distributed gradually over a set period. This approach builds trust with your community and signals that you’re committed to the project’s future.

When deciding on your vesting allocation, think carefully about how much of the token supply should go to the team, advisors, and other contributors, and make sure these allocations reflect the value each group brings.

Most projects choose vesting periods between one and four years, with longer timeframes showing deeper commitment. It’s common to include a “cliff”—a period, often between three and twelve months, during which no tokens are released. After the cliff, tokens can unlock all at once or gradually, such as daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly, depending on what makes sense for your project.

Within the signup flow you have full control to customize your vesting schedule. You can set your own cliff date, decide how often tokens unlock, and specify which wallets will receive the vested tokens. All of this information is displayed transparently on your project page, so investors and community members know exactly how and when tokens are distributed.

A thoughtful vesting schedule isn’t just a formality—it’s a clear signal to your backers that you’re here to build something real and lasting.
