How to Use the Add Members Plugin

Add Members is a dynamic plugin that allows you to effortlessly manage entity ownership and membership allocations. Whether you're creating new tokens or linking existing ones, follow these steps to streamline your entity's membership structure.

  1. Add Plugin: Connect your wallet and access the OtoCo dashboard. From the left menu bar, select "Plugins." Click on "Add" to open the Add Members plugin.

  2. Select Token Type: Choose between "New Transferable Token" or "New Consent Token" based on your entity's requirements.

  3. Token Settings: In this step, define the new token's fundamental details. Set a unique name, a symbol (ticker), and the total supply for the token.

  4. Members and Membership Interest: Determine the initial members of your entity and allocate their membership interest in percentage points. By default, your connected wallet will be listed with 100% interest. Use the "+ Add Another Member" button to include additional members by providing their wallet addresses and corresponding allocation percentages.

  5. Manager and Governance: Designate a Manager for your entity and set the duration of the voting period (in minutes or days) from the available options.

  6. Review and Tokenize: Carefully review the entered information and initiate the tokenization process by clicking "Create Mirror Tokens." Confirm the transaction in your connected wallet (e.g., MetaMask) and cover the gas costs.
