# Creating campaigns

> How to create a crowdfunding campaign on Boundless.

You create a campaign by defining the project, funding goal, and optionally a [milestone structure](/backers/milestones-and-releases) and [community validation](/backers/vote-on-campaigns) steps.

## Before you start

* [Set up your wallet](/concepts/wallet-and-balance).
* Have a clear project description, goal amount, and (if applicable) milestones.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Define the campaign">
    Write the title, description, and funding goal. Explain what you’re building and how funds will be used.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the goal and deadline">
    Set the target amount (in USDC or supported asset) and the campaign end date.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add milestones (optional)">
    Define [milestone structure](/backers/milestones-and-releases): what you’ll deliver and when funds release.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Community validation (optional)">
    If the program supports it, configure [community validation](/backers/vote-on-campaigns) (e.g., backer votes, checks).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch">
    Publish the campaign. Backers can then [back the campaign](/backers/back-a-project). Funds are held in escrow and released per your milestone structure when approved.
  </Step>
</Steps>
