DuckSquad– First Decentralised Venture Capital NFT Launches on Only1

Published

on

Decentralising seed & private deal flows to the people

Would you prefer to invest in private deals pre-IDO? Why should VCs get the best token deals, when you– the users ultimately are the most valuable part of any project? 

Blockchain startups provide DuckDAO users with a seed or private round allocation of tokens which is distributed to those who have joined DuckDAO’s token-permissioned Telegram communities. This is achieved through the DuckSquad NFTs. Launchpad linked here.

Only1 is the first SocialFi platform on Solana helping creators monetize and launch NFTs. 

Novel DeFi NFT: Decentralising Venture Capital

1 Venture Capitalist, or 500 Ducks?

Decentralisation is the center ethos of blockchain startups, from a community moderation platform, to play to earn games, to trustless peer to peer lending. Why should institutions get the best token deals when you– the users are the most valuable part of any project?

Traditionally, venture capital would offer big cheques to a startup to fund their initial development by purchasing equities in the company. In the blockchain world, startups often sell SAFTs (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) to venture capitals at a favorable price, often at least 50% cheaper than when the token is first offered to the public via IDO (Initial DEX Offering) or IEO (Initial Exchange Offering). Now even you can participate in these deals, read on.

How it works

DuckSquad is a randomly generated collection of 3000 unique NFTs. 500 out of the 3000 DuckSquad NFTs has a special attribute — The Quack Quack Balloon! Holders of the NFTs with the Quack Quack balloon get exclusive Access to DuckDAO private telegram group and have opportunities to obtain allocation to Solana-based projects seed/private deal flow of 5 shares. For the other 2500 NFTs without Quack Quack balloon, holding them increases Deal flow to Solana-based projects by 1 share (Given that you already have access to DuckDAO Private Groups).

Example 

Oliver has 2 DuckSquad NFT with Quack Quack Balloon attribute and 1 Ducksquad NFT without. He can enter the DuckSquad private telegram group and get allocated 0.22% of total allocation per deal flow. (5 + 5 + 1 = 11, 11/5000 = 0.22%) Therefore, a deal comes through to invest in ABC project (Disclaimer: not a real project) with $100,000 total allocation. Oliver gets to invest $220.

Initial NFT Offering (INO) Details

  • Quantity: 3,000 NFTs
  • Price: 1 Sol
  • Model: Lottery for allocation
  • NFT per winning ticket: 1 DuckSquad NFT

MAGAVERSE, the trailblazing memecoin project, has made history with a stunning $1,000,000 donation to organizations endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The donation, aimed at supporting MAGA initiatives and advancing the cause of freedom, has positioned MAGAVERSE as a serious player in both the cryptocurrency world and the political landscape.

This bold move matches the $1,000,000 contributions from industry leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, sending a powerful message of gratitude and dedication from the MAGAVERSE community.

“It was important to our MAGAVERSE community that we put our money where our mouth is,” said Lee Hutchinson, community leader of MAGAVERSE. “This was our way of saying thank you to a man who has not only saved America but also championed crypto’s future.”

The impact of this donation has been felt far and wide, as MAGAVERSE has garnered national attention and earned a special place in Washington D.C.’s prestigious events this week. Members of the MAGAVERSE team are attending inaugural galas and official balls as special guests, further solidifying their reputation as key players in the crypto and political spheres.

“They are the talk of the town,” a prominent DC insider commented. “Meme coins have traditionally been underestimated, but MAGAVERSE’s $1M donation has changed the narrative. People are now recognizing the influence and vision of this innovative group.”

A Bright Future for $MVRS

The official ticker for MAGAVERSE, $MVRS, is experiencing newfound momentum as MAGA influencers and crypto enthusiasts flock to join the project. With whispers of major announcements on the horizon, the MAGAVERSE core team has hinted at exciting developments that promise to reshape the community and expand its reach.

This milestone donation demonstrates the growing impact of the MAGAVERSE community and the project’s commitment to both political and financial innovation. As the nation watches, MAGAVERSE continues to prove that meme coins are more than a trend – they are a force to be reckoned with.
