Colony Lab has unveiled a new decentralized fundraising platform that seeks to “democratize” access to seed sales investments in early-stage projects.
These investment opportunities, traditionally limited to venture capitalists and high net worth individuals, will now be available to a broader audience. Along with the launch of the platform, Colony Lab introduced the 'Liquid Vesting' feature, which allows flexible trading of tokens during its lock-up period.
The community-driven accelerator said its 'Liquid Vesting' feature is a first in the crypto space. Specifically, it allows investors to trade their locked or vested tokens on the Colony decentralized exchange (DEX) without conventional restrictions.
This allows unlimited trading of tokens that are not yet fully vested, providing greater liquidity and investment flexibility without impacting the secondary market. All transactions are carried out on chain to ensure transparency and security.
After two years of development, Colony's Early-Stage platform and Liquid Vesting feature will allow users to directly invest in seed sales of early-stage projects from the beginning.
Elie Le Rest, CEO and co-founder of Colony Lab, stated: “When we developed the 'Liquid Vesting' platform and feature, our goal was to make cryptocurrency investing simple and flexible for everyone.”
“We hope these improvements will create more opportunities for early investors and improve liquidity in the primary market. “Our goal is to transform investment practices in the blockchain world by prioritizing clarity, security and openness.”
With these new features, Colony Lab introduces liquidity to the primary market for the first time and makes early-stage investments accessible to a broader audience. The Colony Lab community currently consists of over 8,000 active users, who collectively have a net worth of $200 million.
