The claim this page used to make
A $100 million investment and grant fund for startups in a specific country. That was another ecosystem. Empoorio has no fund of any size, no venture arm and no regional programme.
Every allocation
| Allocation | DMS | % | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder | 300,000,000 | 30 | One multisig; 12-month cliff, linear to year 4; to be excluded from staking rewards in code |
| Ailoos AI rewards | 300,000,000 | 30 | Multi-year compute budget; paid per era, proportional to verified work |
| Public sale | 150,000,000 | 15 | Single round, $0.65, no vesting |
| Treasury | 150,000,000 | 15 | Spend ≤ 10 % per 365-day window; income from 20 % of fees and 70 % of slashes |
| Liquidity | 100,000,000 | 10 | Multisig to be constituted; first use a DMS/USDC pool |
| Private sale / investors | 0 | 0 | Cancelled; bucket is zero in the chain spec |
| Total | 1,000,000,000 | 100 | Asserted by a test in the chain-spec module |
Cap: 3,500,000,000, approached asymptotically by gap-decay emission (75 % to staking, 25 % to the AI pool per era).
The only two mechanisms that fund anything
The treasury, through on-chain proposals, capped, after mainnet.
The Ailoos pool, through pallet-ailoos-rewards, paying nodes for verified training and serving — the closest thing the ecosystem has to a "fund" for contributors, and it pays for work done, not for pitches.
The grants programme pays testnet tokens with no value and says so.
What a startup gets from Empoorio
A runtime with 140 native pallets on a public testnet. A team that answers. A public listing if you ship real transactions. The same rules everyone else gets: no earlier entry, no cheaper price, no side allocation.
Why publish a page saying "no fund"
Because the previous page said there was one, and someone might have planned around it. The ecosystem's rule — announce things after they exist — cuts both ways: it also means correcting things announced that never did.
