Launch a Voucher Collection

Launch your USDC voucher collection on Raven House, a privacy-first platform on the Aztec Layer 2 blockchain (live on testnet). Using zero-knowledge proofs, Raven House enables private minting and claiming of vouchers, keeping wallet addresses and voucher details confidential.

This guide walks you through launching a voucher collection for airdrops, events, or rewards, from setup to funding.

Before You Start: Set up an Aztec-compatible wallet like Azguard or Obsidion. See our Wallet Setup Guide.

Step 1: Set Up Your Collection

Define your voucher collection’s identity, economics, and minting strategy on the Raven House platform.

1.1 Define Your Collection

Navigate to the Launch Collection page and select the Voucher Collection tab. Enter the core details.

Example: Starlight Rewards Collection

• Collection Name: Starlight Rewards
• Voucher Amount: 50 USDC per voucher (redeemable value)
• Description: “Starlight Rewards offers 2,000 USDC vouchers for exclusive event access and community rewards, redeemable privately on Aztec.”

1.2 Choose Voucher Background

Select or upload a background image for your vouchers to reflect your brand.

• Option 1: Pre-Designed Templates
  Choose from Raven House’s professional voucher templates.
  

• Option 2: Custom Background
  Upload a PNG with:

  • Recommended Dimensions: 334 × 207 pixels
  • Alternative: Multiples (e.g., 668 × 414) with the same aspect ratio
    

1.3 Set Economics and Supply

Configure the financial and supply rules.

Example Settings for Starlight Rewards:

• Mint Price: 0 USDC (free for airdrops)

• Sequential Phases: Whitelist only (Days 1–2), then public only (Days 3–7).

Step 2: Deploy Collection

Deploy your voucher collection to the Aztec testnet, making it ready for minting and claiming.

1. Review Settings:
   • Confirm name, voucher amount (50 USDC), supply (2,000), and stages.
2. Deploy:
   • Click Deploy Collection on the Launch Collection page.
   • Review the confirmation pop-up, as deployment is irreversible.

Step 3: Fund and Manage

Fund your collection to enable private voucher claims and manage it post-launch.

3.1 Fund Your Collection

Navigate to the funding page to deposit USDC for claims.

• Total Funding Needed: 100,000 USDC (50 USDC × 2,000 vouchers)
• Funding Options:
  • Partial: Fund 25% (25,000 USDC) initially, add more as needed.
  • Full: Fund 100% upfront for seamless claiming.
  • Progressive: Start with 10,000 USDC, increase based on minting activity.

[!NOTE] Users can only claim vouchers while funds are available. Top up as needed.

3.2 Manage Post-Launch

• Monitor Funds: Track remaining funds and claiming activity.
• Whitelist Management: Add addresses and enable whitelist. See Whitelist Management Guide.
• Engage Community: Use Raven House’s Discord bot to notify users of voucher activity.
