# 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.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aetos.gitbook.io/aetos.vc/getting-started/commiting-capital.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
