# Commiting Capital

Aetos V1 uses capital calls to ensure efficient capital. You can read more about capital calls [here](https://learn.angellist.com/articles/capital-calls).

When a DAO is formed, the call schedule is set. It comprises of two parts:

1. The call schedule percentages: How much of the total commit is required at each capital call.
2. The call schedule time: The set time that each call is able to be requested from the DAO start time.

Once the minimum time has been met to start a funding call, any user in the DAO can do so in the settings page by clikcing on the avaliable call schedule percentage (in orange).

While any user can start a funding call, it is not a requirement if the DAO does not need more capital. Each funding round is independant of each other, if enough time has passed for rounds 2 and 3 to be called and neither have been called, round 3 can be called before round 2.

Once a capital call has been made, every member will be able to commit their call when they visit the DAO page by clicking the "**Funding Call"** button underneath the DAO logo located at the top left of the screen.

They are presented with a similar modal to the confirm membership where they can review their commitment and which capital call they are commiting to.

If all rounds are commited successfully, the "**Funding Call"** button should not be visible.
