De-Risking Financial Investment in Web3 Crowdfunding
Thanks to the awesome NEAR community, Meta Pool has become the leading liquid staking and a cornerstone element of the NEAR ecosystem, contributing to its decentralization and security.
Always keeping in mind the NEAR ecosystem, committed to making it strive and building on our liquid staking capabilities, Meta Pool has been cooking over the last few weeks a unique new platform that will launch soon and we believe you will like a lot (make sure to follow us on your preferred social network to get the launch news).
Come in Meta Yield!
Meta Yield is a lossless staking rewards-based crowdfunding platform for NEAR projects seeking financial support and exposure to the NEAR community.
A very simple mechanism that de-risks investments supporting projects, since backers are only exchanging their future NEAR rewards for the project’s tokens.
Inspiration to Build a Web3 Crowdfunding Platform
Many of you know that Meta Pool did an IDO last year and while platforms such as Skyward served its purpose, we felt that launchpads work only while markets are hot and optimism is high on blockchain protocols.
When the market cooled down, we have seen some of our fellow platforms and projects fail to fundraise their established goals.
We believe that it is a problem that needs to be solved and we started to work on a way to deliver a solution that will take that risk away from the equation.
However the inherent risks of any project (product-market misfit, bad execution, etc) are not predictable and not under the control of the fundraising platform.
But we do believe that Meta Yield can provide a better experience for backers that want to support projects being built on NEAR or Aurora in a risk-free maner, and for project stakeholders that want to build on top of NEAR.
Lossless NEAR Staking Rewards-Based Crowdfunding
When investing in a project, the main and biggest risk is the potential loss of all the funds allocated to that project.
Meta Pool wanted to remove that initial risk for investors and backers of projects and reduce the frictions related to fundraising for project owners.
That is why we built Meta Yield: a lossless NEAR staking rewards-based Web3 crowdfunding kickstarter for NEAR projects where financial backers mint the project’s tokens with their staking rewards, not their crypto assets:
Founders that need to fund their NEAR project can request an amount of $NEAR that they need to launch their product/app
Users / investors financially back the project through the lossless NEAR staking rewards-based fundraising process
Backers stake their stNEAR and commit all their NEAR staking rewards to the project in exchange of the project's native tokens
Users / investors get a receipt as an IOU for their $NEAR, so they can claim them after the project has earned all their rewards.
We are very close to launch! The first project that will benefit from Meta Yield is that we are proud to support is Pembrock Finance!
We sincerely hope that Meta Yield will deliver more benefits to $NEAR token holders and for the NEAR ecosystem at large.
So keep on staking and stay tuned for more information!
