Overview

Funding criteria define the manner in which your project allocates funding. This component also controls the financing cycle behavior for your project. The financing cycle of a project influences the operation of its time-locked regulations. This information can be modified over time.

Automated funding cycles	One payout is made every financing cycle. ☃Using funding cycles to determine certain token rewards. ❄Moreover, projects cannot be changed throughout the course of a financing cycle. ⛄Instead, modifications are scheduled for the following financing cycle. With automated funding cycles disabled, the project owner is free to alter the project at any moment, therefore initiating a new funding cycle. This offers the project owner more freedom, but increases the community's perception of the risk of rugpulls and other hostile behavior.When financing cycles are automated, the project owner must select a cycle duration. A shorter funding cycle offers greater flexibility, but a higher perception of risk. A longer financing cycle will have the contrary effect.Automated financing cycles are especially advantageous for projects with recurring expenses or payments.
Payouts	The manner in which a treasury's funds leave is determined by payouts. 💸The payoff amounts are specified in AVAX or USD. 💰Percentage distributions are expressed as a proportion of the whole Treasury. The 2.5% fee is channeled to the Snowcone DAO's treasury for payouts to Ethereum addresses. These payments issue SNOW tokens, offering projects a portion of ecosystem ownership. Payments made to other Snowcone initiatives incur no costs.The funds that are not required for a project's payments are referred to as overflow. If authorized by the project owner, members of the community can exchange their tokens for a percentage of excess funds. Overflow also serves as the runway for a project. There is no overflow in projects utilizing percentage rewards.
