Funding mechanisms are the various methods and structures used to acquire capital for projects, protocols, or organizations within the digital asset space. These methods span traditional venture capital investments, token sales such as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) or Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) grants, and community-driven crowdfunding. Each mechanism presents distinct advantages and disadvantages concerning access to capital, investor participation, and regulatory considerations. The choice of mechanism often reflects the project’s stage, goals, and desired level of decentralization.
