We're working on a project where I need to create a smart contract on the Solana blockchain that will handle a timed offering to raise funds for a new venture - orbitcurrency.com.
Specific Requirements: The smart contract should allow participants to contribute funds within a specified time window, after which the contract will automatically close the offering and handle the distribution of the funds according to predefined rules.
Challenge - I'm unsure how to implement the timing mechanism efficiently and securely within the Solana ecosystem. Additionally, I need guidance on the best practices for managing and distributing the raised funds after the offering ends.
Desired Outcome: The goal is to have a robust, secure contract that can handle multiple contributors and ensure funds are correctly allocated once the offering period concludes.Any advice on how to properly implement this on Solana, including best practices for security and efficiency, would be greatly appreciated.
