Introduction:

Colony Lab proudly announces the launch of its highly anticipated decentralized fundraising platform, “Early-Stage”, marking a significant step towards democratizing access to seed and private sales investments previously limited to a select group, including VCs and high-net-worth individuals. Alongside this pivotal launch, Colony Lab introduces its innovative “Liquid Vesting” solution, offering unparalleled flexibility in trading vesting tokens during their lockup period. This feature, a first in the crypto space, allows investors to trade freely and securely their locked/vesting tokens on Colony’s upcoming DEX without limitations.

After two years of meticulous development and rigorous audits, including a thorough 130-page final audit, the unveiling of Colony’s Early-Stage platform and Liquid Vesting represents a milestone moment. This launch is poised to reshape the early-stage investment landscape, fostering inclusivity, breaking barriers, and unlocking unprecedented opportunities for investors while bolstering the foundation for early-stage projects.

Access Seed and Private sales on Avalanche🔺 and support ecosystem projects from day one:

Colony’s Early-Stage platform introduces the first-ever Inclusive Investment DAO on Avalanche, granting access to seed and private sales previously out of reach for most investors. By staking CLY tokens, investors can access early-stage investments deals of projects building on Avalanche before their IDOs, before they become mainstream. Moreover, investors can securely trade their locked/vesting tokens for the first time, thanks to our Liquid Vesting solution.

Through the Early-Stage platform, the community gains access to powerful investment tools, democratizing the process akin to seasoned VCs. They can explore, collaborate, invest, and support projects from inception to fruition alongside thousands of other investors. Inclusivity is central to our ethos, with no minimum participation requirements and an anti-whale mechanism ensuring broad participation.

That being said, we’re thrilled to kickstart the launch of our Early-Stage platform, offering users the chance to invest directly in seed and private sales of two dynamic Avalanche projects. DeltaPrime, a cornerstone DeFi protocol within the Avalanche ecosystem, integrated with 12 partnered protocols, including Trader Joe, GMX, and Yield Yak. With over $1.5 billion in swaps facilitated and a TVL peak exceeding $50 million in March 2024, DeltaPrime showcases its robust presence. Moreover, in Q1 2024 alone, the platform generated $1.65 million in revenue, reflecting its strong performance and potential.

On the other hand, Pulsar, a GameFi project (a Sci-Fi MMO-RTS), stands out as one of the most anticipated game Subnet launches. Pulsar has been dominating all of Avalanche’s Fuji subnets transactions, surpassing 390 million transactions. This success offers a glimpse into its promising future, poised to significantly bolster transaction volume within the broader Avalanche ecosystem upon its mainnet launch. Led by industry veterans with over 40 years of combined gaming experience, including iconic titles like CandyCrush, they have their sights set on captivating millions of gamers worldwide.
