Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

Open Libra: The Road Less Traveled A force of the public which has the capital necessary to make meaningful interventions, at the scale of the largest organizations in society. This requires independence, durability, and sense. Independent, Perpetual, Sensible​ OL looks different because it is different. Open Libra does not have a foundation, has no labs entity, no VC funding, and no ICO. Why not? Because, unlike the First In - First Out pump and dump schemes that litter the Crypto landscape, Open Libra has a clean regulatory and moral profile to serve our focused mission — perpetual funding for impact in society, independent of corporations, governments, and traditional finance of the day. The unique feature of digital assets is their opportunity to be perpetual, a highly misunderstood and underrated property. OL measures its plans in centuries, on much longer scales than you are accustomed to if you are in tech. But if instead the product is defined as independent and good capital, then a 100-year time frame is plausible. The next generations should expect there to exist an institution (more like a force of the public) which has the capital necessary to make meaningful interventions, at the scale of the largest organizations in society. Open Libra is five years in, and still pre-launch. Deliberately being principled, vigilant, and evolutionary. Forget Cryptocurrency, Think Open Titles​ The future lies in the thing that comes after currencies: durable capital which can accumulate entitlements, benefits, and rights over time. Digital titles that are both accessible and enforceable over generations, far beyond transient software versions and networks. Crypto makes a tacit promise: wealth while participating in what the future brings. We extend that further to create a product everyone would want to be a part of: to invite the 98% of the world who seek to participate in future themes of technology, social coordination, and build wealth through engagement with society. We ask difficult questions of the industry because, to us, the design space is clear, but the offers in the market are not. Learn more about our vision at openlibra.io. 2024: A Year of Resilience and Progress​ 2024 was a pivotal year for Open Libra. Reinforcing our commitment to the long game, the project undertook several strategic measures to solidify its foothold and secure the mission. We faced an exploit, a multi-step governance abuse which involved social engineering, deception, and transaction manipulation. This was not a software failure, but a breach of trust. This of course, is not a surprise, and neither an unexpected disappointment. OL goes slow in order to observe and correct the course. The abuse unfolded faster precisely because the exploiters began to take notice of the core founding team that was catching up to the evidence. The active community responded with an industry-leading forensic process that disabled 98% of exploited funds, demonstrating our commitment to fairness and justice in our community. The community has been clear from the beginning, that we do not invite or suffer that Open Libra is not for the 2% seeking quick wins at the expense of fellow community members. To address these challenges, a hard fork was executed and forensic tools were created, available at our GitHub repository, facilitating interoperability and expanding the Open Libra ecosystem. It took months to develop Forensic Db, a missing piece of blockchains. The comprehensive forensic database ensures project accountability and transparency. Where necessary, proper authorities in The Netherlands were also engaged to ensure regulatory compliance and proper legal standing. Learnings​: Socialized Enforcement​ Unlike traditional blockchain projects with centralized governance structures, Open Libra enforces norms through four levels of socialized enforcement. When loose social consensus fails, you should expect to see several layers of enforcement: - Smart Contracts: Improve the binding of key policies of your community norms. - Social Slashing: Start a new network that reinforces the norms, move the party elsewhere. - Civil Legal Recourse: Utilizing judicial systems is fair game when Smart contracts are multi-party agreements. - Criminal Enforcement: Ultimately, criminal enforcement is reasonable against fraud and misconduct when a sovereign's laws overlap with ours. First In Last Out is Worth Fighting For​ One of OL's oldest founding beliefs is that First In First Out leads to abuse in markets (pump and dump). Many of our exemplary policies (Slow Wallets, Community Wallets) are explicitly designed with a goal of “First In, Last Out” principle. In 2024, we diverged from this norm, both intentionally by exploiters and unintentionally by distraction. Governance upgrades have been proposed and are in progress to ground us in this principle again. Looking Forward to 2025 and Beyond​ As the project sets its sights on the future, Open Libra will introduce several key initiatives in 2025 designed to reinforce its mission and expand its impact: - SlowWalletV2 Proposal: Enhancing security and longevity for long-term holders. - Project Nest Egg: An initiative that aims to transform Libra into a force for good by funding high-quality real-world businesses by effectively deploying capital through Community Wallets. By harnessing voluntary contributions, these wallets become a strategic asset, driving sustainable growth and innovation within the ecosystem. - Validator Bidding Optimization: Streamlining the validator selection process for greater efficiency. - Exchange Listing Initiatives: Community-driven efforts to expand accessibility and liquidity.

Hundreds of blockchain projects are competing for the same usual use cases, chief among them utility. They fight over blockspace, TPS speed, all kinds of dApps and layers with different programming languages. There is only one project that has a completely different mission: to be a force in society with good capital. The project is not in a rush, tries to do the right thing and be regulatory friendly. For years, it has independently grown with the help of multiple amazing volunteers and contributors without a foundation or VC to back it up, and without having a price or a market. Pause, and let that sink in a bit! None of the charts now tell you the right story. $LIBRA which is @0LNetwork native coin, did not have a monetary value. For years people were working on the project, when the price of each coin was $0. This should tell you a lot about the mentality and professional ethics of those pushing it forward and its hard-core community. Nowadays, projects raise millions of capital for months and years without even having a product and spend millions in marketing. 0L Network been here for some time. Unbothered with all the hype, fight and noise in the space, waiting for its time to play a bigger role in the world. This is not your typical blockchain project, 0L is different because it is different. You can join the experiment anytime you like! No rush, no hype, get on the ship whenever you feel like it, take your time, enjoy the rabbit hole. What is more powerful than capital?

0L aims to build a platform “aligned with humanist values” in a permissionless, open-source, non-corporate environment. $LIBRA cointelegraph.com/news/0-l-b…
