AngelBlock Protocol

AngelBlock Protocol is a pioneering infrastructure in the decentralized fundraising space, created to tackle the shortcomings of traditional token sales, which have often been plagued by poor oversight, rugpulls, and lack of post-raise accountability. The protocol enables non-custodial, governance-driven fundraising where contributors hold real power in milestone validation and capital release decisions.

Fundraising campaigns on AngelBlock are built around two governance models: milestone-based and time-based. In the milestone model, startups define concrete goals for each raise. Investors can vote post-raise on whether those milestones have been met, and only then is capital unlocked. If a project fails to deliver, investors can halt distribution or reclaim funds. This system enhances accountability and removes blind trust from the investment equation.

AngelBlock also introduces “Badges” — ERC-1155 NFTs that represent a user’s position in a raise, and serve as both a voting credential and a claim over vested tokens. These are divisible, transferable, and pave the way for the first-ever vested token marketplace built entirely off-chain. This allows participants to enter or exit positions without affecting price discovery or order books. It’s a new model for secondary liquidity that maintains on-chain integrity and avoids price slippage.

As a protocol, AngelBlock is modular and adaptable. It supports token distributions, KYC filtering, and multi-chain communications across 30+ EVM networks via Layer 0 messaging. It has also bridged Aleph Zero and Ethereum to support the Aleph Zero ecosystem. This makes it uniquely prepared for compliance, transparency, and cross-chain scaling in the next wave of Web3 investment infrastructure. Competing platforms include CoinList, Tokensoft, and Republic, though AngelBlock sets itself apart with full decentralization and community-led governance.

AngelBlock Protocol delivers powerful features and benefits that elevate security, transparency, and control in crypto fundraising:

• Milestone-Based Fundraising: Contributors vote to release funds only after verified milestone completion, minimizing rugpull risks.
• On-Chain Vesting & Token Distribution: Automated, non-custodial distribution of tokens based on clear, immutable smart contract logic.
• Badges as ERC-1155 NFTs: Represent a user’s participation in fundraises, voting rights, and access to vested token positions.
• Vested Token Marketplace: Sell or buy portions of vested positions without affecting token market prices—fully decentralized.
• Validator Governance: Elected community validators perform startup due diligence and can be rewarded or slashed based on performance.
• Multichain Support: Built on Ethereum, but integrated with Layer 0 to support messaging across 30+ EVM-compatible chains.
• Compliant Framework: KYC enforcement, IP blocking for restricted jurisdictions, and roadmap alignment with MiCA and future U.S. regulations.
• For Startups & Investors: Startups gain treasury tools and smart contract compliance; investors gain security, control, and governance power.
