# Fundraise on Synclear: Token Sales and Debt Rounds

> Raise capital via token issuance to verified investors or on-chain debt rounds with institutional lenders — both executed and settled entirely on-chain.

On-chain businesses have two distinct capital-raising paths on Synclear: issuing tokens to investors through a structured, compliance-enforced sale, or establishing a credit facility with institutional lenders through an on-chain debt round. These mechanisms serve different financing objectives, capital structures, and investor bases. Both are executed entirely on-chain, with Synclear handling escrow, disbursement, and the compliance controls that allow regulated capital to participate.

## Choosing a Mechanism

The right mechanism depends on your financing objective, acceptable dilution, and the nature of your investor relationships.

**Token issuance** is appropriate when you are raising equity-like or utility capital from a defined set of verified investors. Proceeds are raised against tokens, and transfer restrictions enforce that only allowlisted, accredited participants can hold them post-issuance. Issuance is suited to seed or growth rounds where token economics are already defined.

**Debt rounds** are appropriate when you need structured credit with defined repayment obligations and want to preserve token cap table integrity. Lenders commit principal against a term sheet specifying interest rate, maturity, and collateral requirements. All repayments are executed on-chain against the facility schedule.

<Note>
  Both mechanisms require your entity to have completed KYB onboarding and have at least one verified treasury wallet connected. Investors and lenders participating in your raise are subject to their own KYC/KYB screening through Synclear's investor onboarding flow.
