Power Up Your Fundraising Strategy with Custom Tiered Investment Models

At Velvosoft, we understand the need for strategic capital allocation and investor segmentation in today’s fast-moving blockchain and Web3 ecosystem. Whether you’re launching a DeFi platform, tokenized startup, or DAO-backed venture, attracting investors isn’t just about building hype—it’s about offering clarity, structure, and incentives.

Tiered Investment Models are designed exactly for that. With our tailored solutions, you can segment your investors based on their contribution size, participation timeline, or holding period—while offering unique perks and benefits to each group.


What Are Tiered Investment Models?

Tiered investment models are structured fundraising frameworks that categorize investors into different levels (or “tiers”) based on specific conditions—usually the amount they invest or their commitment duration.

Each tier comes with a different set of rewards or access:

  • Early Investor Bonuses

  • Higher APYs

  • Exclusive Governance Rights

  • Vesting Benefits

  • Priority Staking Pools

  • Private Sale Access

  • Revenue Share Multipliers

This model is extremely popular in token launches, launchpads, DeFi protocols, GameFi projects, and DAOs because it rewards trust, volume, and loyalty.


Why Choose Tiered Investment Models?

Incentivize Early Participation

The earlier someone commits capital, the higher the rewards. This creates momentum and urgency in your fundraising process.

Create Fair Opportunity

By clearly defining benefits at each level, it minimizes confusion and maintains fairness—critical in community-led blockchain ecosystems.

Promote Long-Term Holding

Many models incorporate vesting schedules or lock-up periods that prevent quick dumps, creating long-term token stability.

Boost Engagement & Loyalty

Gamifying investment with tier levels and perks keeps your community active and committed over time.

Facilitate Scalable Fundraising

Whether you’re raising $50,000 or $5 million, tiered models help you break it into manageable brackets and target the right investor segment for each.


Where Tiered Investment Models Fit

Velvosoft offers tiered model development as part of a broader ecosystem. These models integrate seamlessly with:

  • Launchpads (IDO/IGO/INO Platforms)

  • DeFi Protocols

  • Staking Platforms

  • DAOs

  • Tokenized Real Estate Projects

  • Web3 Startups with Crowdfunding Needs

  • Private Sales and Pre-sales


Our Tiered Model Development Capabilities

Velvosoft builds tiered systems from the ground up, with smart contracts and web UI to match.

🔷 Custom Tier Logic

We define tier levels and logic based on your specific tokenomics. Tiers can be based on:

  • Investment amount

  • Token holding duration

  • NFT ownership

  • Community engagement score

  • Whitelisting or KYC status

  • Any custom logic you define

🔷 Smart Contract Development

All tiers and rules are enforced via secure, audited smart contracts. This ensures automation, transparency, and decentralization.

🔷 Token Vesting & Lockup Logic

We implement vesting strategies per tier, ensuring higher tiers can get better vesting schedules or higher unlock percentages.

🔷 UI/UX Integration

We create a responsive dashboard where users can:

  • View their tier

  • See available perks

  • Track vesting/unlocking

  • Upgrade to the next tier

  • Interact with their wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)

🔷 Multi-Chain Compatibility

Deploy on any blockchain: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, or your custom EVM chain.


Example Use Case: How Projects Use It

🧠 Launchpad Model

  • Tier 1 (Silver): $500 min. → 5% bonus tokens, 2-week vesting

  • Tier 2 (Gold): $2500 min. → 10% bonus, governance vote access, 1-week vesting

  • Tier 3 (Platinum): $10,000 min. → 20% bonus, revenue sharing, instant unlock

🎮 GameFi NFT Staking

Users who stake game NFTs worth over $2000 are bumped to Tier 3 and get access to exclusive airdrops, in-game perks, and beta test access.

🏦 DAO Fundraising Round

A DAO wants to raise $1M. It splits into:

  • Tier 1 ($0–$100k): Public access

  • Tier 2 ($100k–$500k): VC access + higher voting power

  • Tier 3 ($500k+): Strategic partners with board-level decision rights

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ What is the ideal number of tiers?

We usually recommend 3 to 5 tiers. More than that might confuse users. The key is to clearly differentiate the value of each tier.

❓ Can tiers be upgraded automatically?

Yes. Our contracts can be designed to monitor wallet balances or staking behavior and automatically bump users to a higher tier if criteria are met.

❓ Is vesting handled in the same contract?

Yes. We integrate custom vesting schedules and unlock mechanisms into the same tier contract or an interoperable vesting module.

❓ What chains do you support?

We support all EVM chains (Ethereum, BNB, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism) and can adapt for Solana, Cosmos SDK-based chains, and even private blockchains.

❓ Can we integrate it with our existing token?

Absolutely. We’ll map tier logic around your live token contracts or upgradeable versions. No need to reissue tokens.

❓ Can it support NFT-based tiers?

Yes. We can design logic where NFT ownership determines access to investment tiers or exclusive pools.

❓ How long does it take?

Typical delivery time is 3–4 weeks including smart contract, dashboard, testing, and deployment.

❓ Is auditing included?

Basic internal QA is included. For formal audits, we partner with third-party audit firms (like CertiK, Hacken, or QuillAudits) and can coordinate on your behalf.
