Soft Cap
The minimum fundraising target for a cryptocurrency initial coin offering (ICO) or token sale. If the soft cap is reached, the project proceeds with development; if not, funds may be returned to investors.
Example
“The new DeFi project set a soft cap of $2 million for its token sale, stating that if this minimum was not reached within 30 days, all contributed funds would be refunded to participants.”
