# Glossary of Terms **Language:** [Русский](../ru/GLOSSARY.md) | [English](GLOSSARY.md) **Navigation:** [← Contents](https://github.com/VC-HB3-Accelerator) · [FAQ](FAQ.md) · [Disclaimers](DISCLAIMERS.md) · [Contacts](CONTACTS.md) --- ## Tokens and blockchain ### Fund governance tokens VC HB3 Accelerator tokens that confer rights to dividends (15% of treasury inflows), on-chain voting, proposal creation, and access to accelerator projects. Total: 3,000,000 tokens. Available to LPs: up to 30% (900,000). Tokens are also issued to participants after purchasing a license token, registering on the accelerator platform, and submitting a smart-contract address. All token holders (LPs and participants) have the same rights proportional to their share. ### License tokens (contributor tokens) Tokens of contributor smart contracts. Sold to participants as licenses for the DLE operating system. Plans: Standard (1 token, 1,000 USDT), Premium (10 tokens, 10,000 USDT). Contributor tokens are held by the author-developer. After purchasing a license token, registering on the accelerator platform, and submitting a smart-contract address, the participant additionally receives fund governance tokens. ### Company governance tokens (participant) Tokens of the smart contract that the participant deploys independently. Used to govern their own company: access, teams, internal voting. The contract address is submitted to the fund to configure access rights to accelerator service and resources. ### ERC-20 Ethereum token standard. The DLE OS uses ERC-20 to create tokens at all three levels (contributor, participant, fund). Extensions ERC20Votes (voting) and ERC20Permit (signatures) are also used. ### Smart contracts Self-executing programs on a blockchain. In DLE they are used for token management, voting, dividend distribution, and binding regulator identifiers to on-chain operations. ### On-chain voting A voting system via smart contracts. All votes are recorded on-chain and available for verification. 1 token = 1 vote. ### Quorum Minimum number of votes required to pass a decision. Initial quorum: 51%; may be raised to 70% via voting. ### On-premises A deployment model where the OS is installed on the client’s infrastructure (not in the cloud). Provides full control over data. ### EVM networks Networks compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. DLE supports all EVM networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and others. A multichain architecture allows operation across several networks at once. --- ## Financial terms ### Dividends Payments to token holders proportional to ownership share. 15% of all treasury inflows. ### Fund treasury The balance of funds that provides liquidity for governance tokens. Formed from license sales, portfolio-company exits, and LP capital. ### Liquidity Ability to exchange tokens for stablecoins. The treasury balance provides liquidity for all tokens through a buyback mechanism. ### Exit rate Percentage of portfolio companies that successfully exit. Conservative scenario: 10%, optimistic: 20%. ### Pre-seed Early investment stage — company at idea or prototype stage. Check: 50,000–200,000 USDT. ### Seed Investment stage — company has a product and first customers. Check: 200,000–1,000,000 USDT. ### Series A First major venture financing stage after seed. Check: 1,000,000–4,000,000 USDT. ### ICO (Initial Coin Offering) Primary token offering — a way to raise capital by selling tokens. Check: 500,000–2,000,000 USDT. ### Lock-up period Minimum holding period during which an investor cannot sell tokens back to the treasury. At VC HB3 Accelerator: 60 months (5 years). Applies only to treasury buyback — secondary-market sales and transfers to third parties are not restricted. --- ## Business terms ### LP (Limited Partners) Venture-fund investors. At VC HB3 Accelerator, LPs receive governance tokens and effectively become GPs with voting rights. ### GP (General Partners) Venture-fund managers. The founder is a GP; LPs receive GP rights through tokens. ### Token holder Owner of governance tokens or admin tokens. Rights depend on token type. ### Customer A token holder who publishes assignments for OS development and support. Paid from the treasury (15% expenses). ### Contractor A token holder who performs customer assignments. Paid from the treasury. ### Accelerator An entrepreneur support program: OS configuration, training, access to investment. First accelerator goal: 21,000+ entrepreneurs, 5 years. ### Cohort A group of entrepreneurs in the accelerator. 4 cohorts × 70 groups by activity type. ### Portfolio company A company the fund invests in. Target: 600 portfolio companies over 5 years. --- ## Technical terms ### Docker Containerization platform. DLE is shipped as Docker containers to simplify deployment. ### RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) A technology combining knowledge-base retrieval with text generation. Used in DLE AI agents for answers based on uploaded documents. ### FAISS A library for vector search. Used in AI agents for semantic search across knowledge bases. ### Ollama A platform for running local LLM models. In DLE, one model serves all AI agents — each agent differs by prompt, rules, and knowledge base. ### AI agents A system of specialized AI assistants in the DLE OS. One local model (Ollama) — many agents: each tuned to a specific business process (customer service, analytics, HR, etc.). Data does not leave the server. --- ## Regulatory terms ### Regulator A public authority regulating financial markets. VC HB3 Accelerator works with regulators to integrate identifiers into the OS and create sandboxes. ### Special economic zones Territories with a special legal regime (IT hubs). The fund registers presence in these zones to obtain grants and integrate identifiers. ### Regulatory sandbox A controlled environment for testing innovative solutions under regulator supervision. As of January 2025 — 199 sandboxes in 92 countries (SSRN, World Bank). ### Identifiers Codes set by the regulator to identify legal entities: tax (INN, EIN, TIN), accounting (OKVED, NAICS, NACE), banking (BIK, SWIFT, IBAN), registration (OGRN, Company Number, ABN). Bound to smart contracts in the DLE OS. ### Compliance Adherence to legislation and regulatory norms. DLE supports compliance by binding identifiers to on-chain operations and on-premises deployment. ### Due Diligence Thorough review of a company or project before investing. Recommended before any investment decisions. --- **Last updated:** 2026-02-19
