## 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.
