Definition ∞ Anti-VC funding refers to a project financing strategy that deliberately avoids traditional venture capital investment. This approach often utilizes decentralized funding methods, such as public token sales or community grants. Its purpose is to prevent centralized control and promote a broader distribution of project tokens among participants. This aligns with the core principles of decentralization inherent in many blockchain initiatives.
Context ∞ The discussion surrounding anti-VC funding frequently addresses the balance between decentralization and capital acquisition efficiency. News often covers projects adopting this model to counter perceived venture capital influence and asset concentration within the crypto space. Regulatory frameworks may also consider the implications of such alternative funding mechanisms.
