Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, specific answers to common questions about our process, timeline, and security for building your governance token.

Standard governance token deployments take 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes smart contract development, testing, and deployment. Complex DAO integrations or multi-chain deployments can extend the timeline to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the initial consultation.
