VENT is the first full-stack Cardano-Polygon community launchpad ecosystem that enables sustainable growth. The platform will open up new project opportunities and make DeFi accessible to everyone. Combining simplicity, security, and transparency, VENT aims to reset the world's expectations of what a decentralized launchpad is and help evolve the reputation and maturity of the DeFi space and crypto ecosystem as a whole.

VentUp Launchpad, the first offering within the platform is where founders share innovative blockchain projects with the communities that will join forces to fund them.

• Platform-level identity verification: simple, one-time process.
• Customer support throughout all stages of registration, KYC, and contribution to a project pool.
• Projects selected by the community and vetted by the team.
• Flexible Fundraising Mechanisms (IDO, Private Rounds, ISPO)
• Innovative P.A.S. (Point Allocation System) allocation mechanism to reward long-term holders, true community members while enabling new users to participate.
• Social features that invite verified users to interact with each other and exchange ideas with project creators.
• Secure environment for trusted partners and community members to transact.
• Trusted entity & team in compliance with international regulations.
• Transfer functionality to allow whitelists to be delegated to eligible members.
• Project Support through Incubation Partners.

Currently native to the Polygon chain, and soon-to-be native to the Cardano Blockchain, there is a total supply of 250 million VENT tokens — where around 21.2 million will be in circulation on TGE.

Our core service is developing technology that opens up new investment opportunities and makes DeFi accessible for everyone.

With simplicity at the core of our priorities, we aim to make the user journey as easy and enjoyable as possible by improving every component involved, starting from design, customer support, wallet and API integrations, all the way to a one-time frictionless KYC.

We are not transaction-based like other launchpads, we are community-based. We recognize the power that a community holds. That is why we give them complete control. They hold the power to make a project a reality.
