Investing in eCandle — Investor guide

🦊Get a wallet, and fund it

You'll need a self-custodial wallet — MetaMask works best. Then put two things in it, both on the network the eCandle app uses:

USDC — the digital dollars you'll invest. Buy on any major exchange and withdraw to your wallet, choosing the network the eCandle app uses.
A little POL — the network's gas token. A couple of dollars' worth covers many transactions.

Withdrawing from an exchange? Double-check you're withdrawing on the same network the eCandle app uses (it shows you), not Ethereum mainnet — and that the receiving address is your own wallet, never an exchange deposit address.

✍️Connect and sign in

Open the investor app, press Connect wallet, then Sign in. Sign-in is one free signature ("Sign-In with Ethereum") — it proves the wallet is yours. No password, no email, no cost. If your wallet is on another network, it will ask to switch networks — that's expected.

🌍Pick a batch and invest

Each project card is a real batch of devices with a funding target, a live progress bar, and its on-chain contract linked right there. Type an amount in USDC and press Invest — your wallet asks for two confirmations (an approval, then the investment). When it lands you receive SRT, an on-chain token that is your share certificate: 1 SRT = 1 USDC of principal.

Pilot phase: investing on mainnet is currently limited to a whitelist while the contracts complete an external audit. If your wallet isn't whitelisted yet, the app will tell you — contact ecandle@arkreen.com to join the early-access list.

📈Watch your yield accrue — from real payments

Once the batch is fully funded and deployed, the devices start earning. Every single customer payment is split on-chain in the same transaction it's made:

50%

40%

10%

Investors 50%Operator 40%Platform 10%

Your dashboard shows three live numbers straight from the chain: Invested, Earned, and Ready to claim. No statements, no waiting for a report — it's the chain itself.

💰Claim whenever you like

Press Claim and your accrued yield transfers to your wallet in one transaction. Claim daily or let it accumulate — it's yours either way, secured by the contract, not by a promise.

Principal: if a raise doesn't fill, you withdraw your full principal back. When a funded batch completes its term, you redeem your SRT for your share of the residual value.
Verify everything: every card links to the contract on the block explorer; the contract source is published and verifiable (Sourcify, exact match).

Before you invest — the honest part

This is real money on-chain, and this is a pilot. The contracts are not yet externally audited, and digital-asset investments carry risk including total loss. Invest only what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is investment advice.

Common questions

What exactly is SRT?

A standard on-chain token minted to you when you invest — your share certificate. 1 SRT represents 1 USDC of principal in that batch. It's what the contract uses to compute your yield share and your redemption at the end of the term.

When do I start earning?

The moment the funded devices start collecting payments. There's no monthly cycle — each individual payment (even $0.10) splits in real time, and your 50%-pool share accrues instantly.

What are the fees?

The split is the whole model: 50% investors / 40% operator / 10% platform, enforced by the contract on every payment. Your only other cost is on-chain gas, typically well under a cent per action.

Can I lose money?

Yes. Devices can underperform, break or be stolen; smart contracts can have bugs (the code is published but not yet audited); stablecoins and chains carry their own risks. The 50% yield share is a revenue share, not a guaranteed return.

Own a piece of the sunrise.

Connect a wallet and see the live batches — funding progress, on-chain contracts, and real yield from real devices.
