GENERAL QUESTIONS
WHAT IS EPOCH ISLAND?
Epoch Island aims to become the onchain Silicon Valley.
To bring together the top builders, creators, and investors from across the decentralized world, the flagship product of Epoch Island is called Funding Streams.
WHAT ARE FUNDING STREAMS?
Funding Streams are the fastest way to get funding in crypto.
1) A person or project creates a Funding Stream in a few clicks
2) Anyone can stake crypto into this funding stream to support them
3) Yield from stake is redirected to the person or project
The Staker receives upside in $ISLAND and any additional tokens the person or project offers. This model aligns the long-term benefits of both parties while protecting the capital of stakers.
WHAT IS THE LONG TERM VISION?
Inspired by Balaji, the 2030 vision of Epoch Island is to create the world’s first Network State.
WHAT IS A NETWORK STATE?
The idea of creating new countries and Network States was originated by Balajis Srinivasan.
“A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.”
– Balaji
WHY IS IT CALLED "EPOCH ISLAND"
EPOCH /ˈiːpɒk,ˈɛpɒk/
The beginning of a period in the history of someone or something.
We believe Network States signify the beginning of a new period in human history.
Additionally, EPOCH is often defined as a unit of measurement in time.
Unlike traditional funding models, within Epoch Island, all funds are distributed based on yield generated over time.
In short, Epoch Island is a time-based economy.
ISLAND /ˈʌɪlənd/
Epoch Island may not take the form of a physical island. So, why call it Epoch “Island”?
In short, similar to what Silicon Valley built for the world of web2, we want to build a home for the world of web3.
A home for onchain innovation and opportunity.
They built a Valley, so we’re building a (metaphorical) Island.
An Island to escape the current-day structures of nation-states.
