First Venture Capital

This repository contains the smart contracts and frontend application for the FVC protocol, a community-governed system for funding SMEs and startups through interest-free grants, revenue-sharing agreements, and equity arrangements on Ethereum.

Token holders vote on which businesses receive funding and earn USDC from the revenues those businesses generate. Governance uses quadratic voting. Compliance is enforced on-chain via KYC whitelisting.

Contracts

Contract	Description
FVC.sol	ERC-20 governance token, 1B supply cap, role-gated mint/burn, UUPS upgradeable

Staking.sol	Synthetix proportional staking. Stake FVC, earn USDC from SME revenue repayments
Vesting.sol	Token vesting schedules for team and investor allocations
