Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started as a Sender?
Connect your wallet, submit a venture concept during the Spark phase, and compete in Founder Duels to win the right to build your idea.
What happens if I stake on a failed milestone?
If you stake AGAINST a milestone and it fails, you earn rewards. If you stake FOR and it fails, you lose your stake. Risk and reward are proportional.
How are Anchors selected?
Anchors apply through a community vetting process, demonstrating relevant experience and expertise. They build trust through accurate validations over time.
Can I participate in multiple roles?
Yes! You can be a Sender for your own ventures while also being an Echo staking on others, or an Anchor providing validation services.
What makes Studio3 different from traditional incubators?
We're fully decentralized with no gatekeepers, transparent on-chain operations, community-driven decisions, and gamified mechanics that reward accurate predictions.
