Glossary
Terms and abbreviations used in the XDAO TON documentation.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Airdrop | A dedicated page in the XDAO TON Mini App for mass token distribution to holders. |
| Crowdfunding Module | A plugin installed in the DAO by vote that deploys an LP Manager — once installed, the DAO can launch crowdfunding campaigns. |
| DAO (Digital Autonomous Organization) | A DAO on TON is governed by GP token holders, and any DAO action is executed only after a vote reaches general consensus. |
Deeplink ton://… | A TON transaction ready to sign, represented as a ton://transfer/... URI. Opening it in a TON wallet (for example, Tonkeeper) lets the user confirm and sign it. |
| Distribution round | A reward-distribution mode for LP holders via the Mass Payout Plugin (Mode A): a snapshot of LP token holders is taken, each holder's share of the rewards is calculated, and holders then claim their portion themselves. |
| General consensus (consensus threshold) | The minimum share of GP votes required for a proposal to be approved and executed on-chain. The counterpart of quorum in the EVM version of XDAO. |
| GP (Governance Participant) | A holder of the DAO's governance token. GPs create proposals and vote on them; voting weight is proportional to the amount of GP held in the wallet. |
| Jetton | The fungible token standard on TON — the counterpart of ERC-20 on EVM networks. The DAO's GP token and LP token are both implemented as jettons. |
| LP Manager | A DAO smart-contract plugin that issues LP tokens to crowdfunding participants, tracks contributions, and processes refunds if a campaign fails. |
| LP token (jetton) | A jetton that crowdfunding participants receive in proportion to their contribution. It carries no voting rights, but entitles the holder to distributions (Mass Payout) and, in a successful campaign, a share of the funds raised. |
| Mass Payout | A DAO plugin and feature for distributing funds among LP token holders: it includes a Distribution round (Mode A) and a Push round (Mode B). |
| NFT | A DAO on TON can hold and send NFTs from its balance — only via a proposal (Send DAO NFT). |
| Plugin / Sub-Wallet | Modular smart contracts installed in the DAO by vote (Install Plugin, Create Sub-Wallet) that extend the DAO with additional functionality — crowdfunding, Mass Payouts — or create a separate Sub-Wallet to segregate funds. |
| Proposal | A formal action on behalf of the DAO: created by a GP member, put to a vote among the other GPs, and executed on-chain once general consensus is reached. |
| Push round | A distribution mode via the Mass Payout Plugin (Mode B): the DAO specifies the list of addresses and amounts itself, and the plugin sends the payouts directly — recipients don't need to claim them. |
| Refund | The return of a contribution to a crowdfunding participant if the campaign's soft cap was not reached by the end date. Processed automatically by the LP Manager, on the participant's request. |
| Soft cap / Hard cap | The minimum (soft cap) and maximum (hard cap) amount to be raised in a crowdfunding campaign. If the soft cap isn't reached by the end of the campaign, participants receive a refund; the hard cap limits the upper amount that can be raised. |
| TonConnect | An open standard for connecting TON wallets (Tonkeeper and others) to applications. XDAO TON uses it to authenticate users and sign all on-chain actions. |
| Whitelist | A list of addresses permitted to participate in a restricted-access crowdfunding campaign. Managed via dedicated proposals (Add to Whitelist / Remove from Whitelist). |
