How to Fund Your Escrow Balance

Funding your Escrow Balance is one of the most important steps in setting up your bonfire site. This is what makes distributing your coin through drops or bounties possible. You can deposit or withdraw from your Escrow Balance at any time.

1. To get started, just look for the escrow widget in the top right corner of your dashboard, on the **Home** screen**.** You can also find the escrow widget in **Airdrops > Create Airdrops**, or **Bounties > Create Bounties** sections ****of your Bonfire Studio dashboard.

2. Click the Deposit button to send coins from your Rally account to your **Bonfire ****account. Type in the number of coins you’d like to deposit and click Confirm.

1. Check your inbox. You should have received an email from Rally asking to approve or reject the transfer from your Rally account to Bonfire.

1. To complete this transfer you will have to approve it on Rally by clicking Approve. Keep in mind you will only have 1 hour to approve the transfer.

1. You’re all set. The transfer might take a couple of minutes. From there, you should see the updated Escrow balance on your Bonfire Studio dashboard.

Note: The "Available to distribute" message refers to the amount of coins that are currently able to be distributed from the escrow account to community members. This amount is governed by Rally's flow controls.

Locked Funds For Airdrops or Bounties

When you have active airdrops or bounties, we put the necessary amount of coins needed to fulfill those transactions into a vault aka “Locked Funds”. This helps you make sure you have enough coins to distribute to your community. We then distribute the coins on your behalf during the drop or bounty.
