Capital,
accelerated toward
conviction.
Xcelerator DAO is an invitation-only, member-owned fund that backs promising projects on-chain. Its members decide together what to fund, and the rules that move the money run in public, on-chain. Membership is closed, but any builder can submit a pitch.
One beamline. Five stages.
The beamline is how the DAO’s capital gets from its treasury to a project. Members decide what’s worth funding; the contract handles the rest. Every step happens on-chain.
Pitch
Any builder can submit a pitch describing their project, what they need, and the milestones they’ll deliver against. No invitation or introduction is needed.
Back
Members put their vXCL behind the pitches they believe in. Backing isn’t a one-time vote: the longer a member keeps it on a project, the more weight it carries, so sustained commitment counts for more than passing enthusiasm.
Allocate
Funding follows the members’ backing. A project with steady, committed support is funded ahead of one riding a brief spike of interest.
Fund
Money is released to projects in stages, each one unlocked by an on-chain milestone. If a project stalls, its funding pauses and the unused portion returns to the treasury.
Return
When a project pays off, returns flow back to the treasury and are shared among members in proportion to their vXCL, so the fund grows instead of draining.
Backing a project longer counts for more.
The longer a member keeps their vXCL on a single project, the more funding it can direct there, with diminishing returns at the extremes so no one member can dominate. Drag to see how holding time changes the effect.
New backing starts at face value, with no bonus. If a member keeps backing the same project, that weight begins to grow.
Where the beam points.
Xcelerator has no fixed sector mandate; members decide what gets funded. In practice, the projects that earn support tend to cluster around a few areas.
Shared security & restaking
Primitives that let new chains and services borrow trust instead of bootstrapping it from zero.
Intent settlement
Solvers, routers, and the rails that turn a user’s intent into an executed outcome.
Verifiable compute
Coprocessing and proof systems that move heavy work off-chain without giving up trust.
Real-world assets
Tokenized cashflows and the on-chain servicing that keeps them honest.
On-chain coordination
Mechanisms and tooling that help capital and builders find each other in the open.
Your project here
Building something on-chain? Anyone can submit a pitch, with no invitation or warm introduction needed. The members decide what gets funded.
Submit a pitch →Run by its members, not a committee.
Members don’t rubber-stamp a budget once a quarter. They back projects continuously, and the contract funds them accordingly, so there’s no grant committee to lobby.
How decisions happen
- MembersMembership is by invitationvXCL is held only by members. It is not offered, sold or distributed to the public.
- BackBacking, not a ballotFunding tracks where members put their vXCL, recalculated each epoch rather than decided in a one-off vote.
- GateMilestones unlock fundingMembers approve each milestone on-chain before the next round of funding is released.
- RecallFunding can be pulledMembers can withdraw backing from a stalling project; its unused funding returns to the treasury.
- TuneThe formula is governedThe funding formula’s settings are the one thing put to a formal vote — changed rarely, and only by supermajority.
What lives on-chain
- TreasuryEvery asset, every blockThe treasury is a public contract — anyone can verify its balances and flows.
- RulesThe rules are the codeFunding is calculated by the contract, not negotiated. The formula is open to audit and fixed between epochs.
- StreamsFunding as live streamsPayments stream continuously and can be inspected, paused, or recalled in real time.
- ReturnsSplit automaticallyReturns are shared among members by vXCL holding, with no claim windows or manual rounds.
Building something on-chain?
Membership is by invitation only, but any builder can submit a pitch. Pitches go to the members, who decide what gets funded.
