Early-Stage Program Workflow

The Early-Stage Program workflow is detailed in this section to assist Colony's users in navigating the Colony application and understanding its operations comprehensively, from essential mechanisms to required actions at each investment step. Furthermore, step-by-step tutorials are available to facilitate easy navigation of Colony's application. However, it's crucial to explore the Early-Stage Feature Workflow to grasp essential mechanisms and potential interactions before delving into the tutorials.

The Early-Stage workflow mirrors the investment processes of venture capitalists and major funds, but with enhanced efficiency and full on-chain operations. This ensures that the community has access to sophisticated investment tools, providing both education and efficiency in a novel manner.

The major steps of the Early-Stage Program are as follows:

  1. Staking CLY and receiving ANT tokens.

  2. Deal Flow: Upvoting projects and committing ANT tokens to express investment interest.

  3. Analysis: Evaluating the project and investing USDC.

  4. Investment Committee: Arbitration and confirmation of users' allocations.

  5. Colony's Portfolio and Liquid Vesting: ceTokens allocations associated with investments can be claimed, traded on Colony's DEX, provided as liquidity to enjoy a boosted APR (in ceTokens), or swapped for the project’s native token.
