Refunds
OhShii protects participants if a launch doesn’t succeed. An LGE fails when its token curve does not sell out before the deadline — at that point the campaign is marked Failed and refunds open. This is a key anti-rugpull protection for both contributors and creators.
What you get back
Section titled “What you get back”| You are a… | Refund |
|---|---|
| Contributor | ~95% of your contributed ICP on current campaigns — the ~90% net plus the held 5% referral band, returned regardless of any sponsor tier, minus a small per-transfer ledger fee. (Only the very oldest, non-migrated campaigns refund ~90%; a migrated older campaign returns the full ~95% just like a current one.) |
| Creator | ~70% of the ICP you spent contributing to your own LGE. |
| Guest-tier contributor | Also get your one-time 30,000 OHSHII guest fee back. |
Older or migrated campaigns work the same. A long-running campaign that has been brought onto the current model — even one that launched a while ago, like the always-on showcase LGE — holds your ICP in the same per-campaign sub-accounts and refunds the same ~95% as a brand-new campaign, paid from the campaign’s own held funds. There is no practical difference for you as a participant: how you contribute, what you get back, and how you claim are identical.
How to claim
Section titled “How to claim”- After the LGE fails, open the LGE page and press “GET REFUND”.
- You have 7 days from the failure to claim — claim within the window.
Refunds are paid on-chain from funds that were held for your campaign (the campaign’s escrow and referral sub-accounts) — never from the OhShii treasury. After the 7-day window, any un-claimed residual ICP is swept on-chain to the OhShii ecosystem (ONS) treasury — not to the failed campaign’s own DAO (the campaign failed, so it does not keep these funds) — so claim in time. The funds are not lost, but recovering them afterwards requires an ONS governance “withdraw” proposal (the community must vote to release them).
