The Proposed Token Concept's 

Name: Crypto VC Fund

Ticker: VCAP

Chain: Kusama Asset Hub

Liquidity Pair: VCAP/ KSM

Summary Use Case: A crypto venture capital fund concept to enable its holders to factually invest in, manage, and reap stakeholder benefits from fast-growing startup companies through making use of the blockchain functions; 1— DAO, 2— Stablecoins, 3— Dead Wallets, that will advance on an accomplishment of pre-announced milestones basis.

Draft White Paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GsB7_oKBxdqwk6mmaFw0GrKIqHmv_QoA/view?usp=drive_link

Background Story: As a cryptocurrency investor since 2021 and a Polkadot ecosystem investor since 2022, I have recognized the Ponzi scheme characteristics of cryptocurrencies as their ultimate failure. As solution, I have decided to employ my experience in venture capital deals for bridging a crypto token to a profit-making, sustainable business within the framework of the experimental sister Kusama network of the Polkadot ecosystem, that stands out from other networks with its exceptional scalability and interoperability features, as well as its functioning DAO and vibrant community.  

During my quests recently, in a Polkassembly discussion https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/2581 I feel blessed to have encountered Daniel (@danielo), the founder of the Virto Network with his emphasis on building DAO tools on Kusama network, to shortly team up with him as solution partners. In time, I am looking forward to further participation to ensure adoption of the project by the community.

 

In consideration of the foregoing, here is the breakdown of the expenses I request from the Treasury:

1— 160 KSM as initial liquidity on Kusama Asset Hub for the Token's VCAP/ KSM liquidity pair,

2— 8.5 KSM as the fee for updating the Token's information on Dexscreener, as detailed on https://marketplace.dexscreener.com/product/token-info, 

3— 1.5 KSM to buy domain name for the Token's website,

4— 5 KSM as one-year X Premium+ subscription fee for the Token's X account.

 

Total Requested Amount: 175 KSM

A reasonable amount for an interesting experiment. Looking forward to assist in the creation of the DAO to showcase how a token in AssetHub can be managed permissionlessly with smart contracts and the decentralized governance of a DAO from a different parachain.

Members of the Fellowship Collective involved in projects flagged by the OG tracker should provide a proper explanation, return the funds to the Treasury, or face expulsion.

Invarch failed to provide the first two, so Gabe, a founding member of the team, does not meet the ethical standards required to have a voice in the Fellowship.

TENETS (extract from the fellowship manifesto)

"Members are expected to faithfully uphold the following tenets.
Clarifications to the rules should be in agreement with these tenets. Acting in clear breach of these tenets may be considered by voters as grounds for non-promotion, demotion or, in extreme cases, exclusion from the Fellowship.

#510 Secure Funds
EJgd...JGQZ
2 days ago

To prevent potential mismanagement of Youdle DAO treasury funds, we propose temporarily transferring these assets to the Kusama Treasury, which is now the safest option.

Rationale:

The Invarch team, which currently controls the funds, has a history of questionable financial decisions, including the transfer of more than 200K ASTAR from the DAO to a CEX without transparency.

Community members have raised concerns and asked questions about fund management, but the team has not provided clear answers.

To ensure responsible management, these remaining funds (400 KSM) should be safeguarded under Kusama governance.

Next Steps:

The funds will later be returned to Youdle DAO holders through a transparent and verifiable process.

 

We urge the community to support this measure to protect DAO resources.

 

Evidence:

Youdle DAO rug

Moving DAO funds to a CEX because it's a shared address instead of moving to another on chain address? No answers.

Pink rug

Pink distributed by the pink team to invarch was supposed to get distributed to the community

but instead 2000000 pink were allocated to xcastronaut (invarch founder) wallet

Then went to hydration and got sold.

VARCH rug

$VARCH token launched less than 30 days ago. ICO investors are down -96%

Tinkernet rug

Tinkernet (kusama parachain) was shutdown. Investors were given 4 VARCH for 1 TINKER. VARCH was later a rug so this converts Tinkernet in a rug. Before shuting down they made an LBP in Osmosis (Cosmos) which also was a rug.
