Levelling The Playing Field: A Free Fund For All Street

Today is a defining moment in the pursuit of equitable financial opportunity for all. Today is the reveal of the world’s first ever Free Venture Fund, with zero royalties, for the 99%. And it’s changing the game forever.

The Common Wealth Free VC Fund is an approximately $2,400,000 worth of early-stage allocation in 15 highly anticipated, yet-to-launch projects, and can be yours!*

Web3 communities have had enough of playing second fiddle to the privileged few. The call for a more level playing field has been heard and answered. Enter, Common Wealth’s Free Fund, ensuring for the first time that the power of early-stage access in Web3 is now firmly in the hands of the community it serves. Supported by Web3 leaders with a social reach of over 12 million people, this is what you might call a system designed by, and for, All Street!

With this “earn-to-own” Free Fund, Common Wealth enters truly uncharted territory. Championing the innovation brought to life by this revolutionary system, there are no fund managers, there are no general partners, and there are no management fees! This is also the first fund that is totally non-custodial, and is always liquid (sell in whole or part at any time); Ah-thankin’ you Blockchain! Speaking of the chain, impeccable transparency and permissionless execution are also guaranteed by the first ever fund to be run by virtue of smart-contracts.

The World’s First Free Investment Fund Deconstructed

The Free Fund will be fully airdropped as “slices” to the winners of a 3 week campaign, which starts on 21st February 2024. Each Free Fund slice will appear in their wallets as completely non-fungible and immutable proof of ownership, which can be split, transferred, traded at the discretion of the holder.

The Reward Structure is designed with inclusion and fairness in mind as well:

• Top Tier: The first 10 participants will each secure a $10,000** allocation.
• Second Tier: The next 50 participants will be awarded $5,000** allocation.
• Third Tier: The next 1,000 participants will be awarded $1,000** allocation
• Runners Up: All others on the leaderboard will share in a generous distribution of $1.05 million worth of $WLTH tokens (FDV at $30m), ensuring no one leaves empty handed.
• Special Recognition: As a nod to their crucial early support, Genesis NFT holders and Beta Testers will receive extra XP (campaign points), underscoring the value Common Wealth places on its earliest backers and supporters.

How It Will Go Down

The Free VC Fund kicks off on Wednesday, February 21st, 2024, and will span three weeks, ending with a verification phase. A total of 1060 winners will see the prizes air-dropped straight to their wallets when the app goes live on zkSync ERA mainnet before 8th April 2024. The winners of the $WLTH airdrop will receive their full airdrop at TGE (week commencing 8th April 2024). While the campaign dates and timelines are always subject to change, the community can rest assured that valid entries will be fully acknowledged and rewards will be transferred.

To keep things fair, simple and transparent, there are some rules to follow, of course:

1. Set Up Your Profile: Create a profile on the Common Wealth app with an email.
2. Complete Missions: Finish at least three missions per project to make it onto the leaderboard.
3. Provide Proof: Stay vigilant. Some missions will require proof of completion.
4. Verification: The Common Wealth team will verify the results. Invalidated results can be retried until the campaign closes. Invalidated results after this cannot be retried.
5. Winning Criteria: The highest XP score determines winners at the promotion’s end.
6. Prize Exclusivity: Winners can claim one spot on the leaderboard and one prize.
7. Airdrop Eligibility: All who qualify for the leaderboard, except Tier 1,2 and 3 winners, get a $WLTH airdrop at TGE.
8. Tie-Breakers: Algorithmic tie-breakers will be in place to resolve score ties with AI objectivity.
9. Final Decisions: Judges’ decisions are final. You will have to deal with it.

Post-launch, the Free Fund will function similarly to all others coming to the Common Wealth app, where a permissionless system will run the investment processes and provide the owners of the slices with their proceeds until the fund is fully vested. Throughout the fund lifecycle, the app will continue to reward education and engagement across the Common Wealth ecosystem.

The All Street Promise

“What if retail investors were invited to the same private, early-stage sale crypto deals as traditional venture capitalists?” Common Wealth Manifesto.

This is the question that is central to the existence of Common Wealth and the driving force behind the vision of All Street.

You’ve shown more than patience. You have shown conviction. Genesis NFT holders have backed the vision of levelling the playing field in Web3. Some of you have stepped up as leaders of All Street, whether it’s educating newcomers or battle-testing the beta application, Common Wealth is a truly co-created system. It was never going to be easy and there are still many unknowns, but one thing is clear: we did it.
