# How to Create a Tiered Sale

### Testing

We recommend all creators test their sale setup on **Sepolia** before launching on mainnet. Below are helpful links to get started:

* **Get Sepolia ETH:** [Alchemy Sepolia Faucet](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia)
* **Test Token Contract (for minting tokens):** [View on Sepolia Etherscan](https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/0x73F4E02efBffCADC9C2Af25213faD30Cb67Dc55c#writeContract)

### **Step 1: Creation & Branding**

\
Select your target blockchain network (e.g., Polygon) and ensure your wallet is connected to the chosen network.

### **Step 2: Sales Structure**

* **Collateral Token**: Choose the token you’ll receive in exchange (e.g., USDC).
* **Set Duration**: Define the start and end times for the sale.
* **Token Claim Delay**: Toggle if participants can claim tokens immediately or after a delay. This claim delay sets in at the sale end date or if the sale ends early due to a sell out.&#x20;

### **Step 3: Tier Configuration**

Add and configure tiers:

* Specify the amount for sale and price per token for each tier.
* Set minimum and maximum allocation per user for each tier.

Enable and define a soft cap if needed.

* *Note: If the soft cap is not reached, all contributions will be returned to buyers.*

### **Step 4: Project Info**

**Description**: Write a detailed description of the token sale, using Markdown for formatting if needed.

**Links**: Provide all mandatory links (e.g., project website, Twitter) and optional links (e.g., Discord, Telegram).

**Geo-blocked Countries**: Specify any regions or countries where the sale will be restricted.

**Rights**: This simply makes a note of your ability to Pause, Unpause, or Cancel the sale before it starts.

**Investment Round Info**: Add details of any prior investment rounds, including:

* Amounts raised.
* Valuation.
* Vesting terms.

**Anti-Snipe**: Optionally enable Anti-Snipe to prevent bots from participating in the sale.

**Custom Whitelist**: Optionally upload a Custom Whitelist (CSV format) to make participant access exclusive.&#x20;
