# How does a financing project work?

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th width="526">Steps</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1- Community identification of the monument</td><td>The community identifies, submits and selects a monument to be digitized.</td></tr><tr><td>2 - Negotiations between Lay3rs and the monument's owners</td><td>Build3rs negotiates the use of the monument with the rights holders, inventories the data already available and estimates the need for additional recordings. A target budget is defined. All this information forms the initial digital twin project.</td></tr><tr><td>3 - Launch of pooling</td><td>The digital twin project is now open for contributions, with the aim of reaching the target budget set in step 2. Contributions are collected in $PLAY tokens from the community.</td></tr><tr><td>4 - Digital Twin creation</td><td>Once the pooling has reached its target, the monument data is acquired, aggregated and transformed into a first batch of exports adapted to the most common uses (Unreal Engine, Unity, Voxel, etc.). These exports are ready for distribution on the Build3rs marketplace.</td></tr><tr><td>5 - Community definition of twin's evolution</td><td><p>The project becomes autonomous.</p><p>Using dedicated tools, the community of contributors is able to decide autonomously and transparently on the development and direction of the project: distribution of value, addition of new data, conditions for export distribution, etc.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
