Capestone's On-Chain Investment Fund Study
Rethinking Investment Funds
Our blockchain-based open-ended fund redefines traditional finance by offering unmatched transparency, greater accessibility with a low minimum investment, and the security of smart contracts. Designed and managed by students, this fund provides a hands-on example of how blockchain technology can address key issues in conventional investment funds, such as limited access and operational opacity. Through this project, we demonstrate the potential for decentralized finance to create a more inclusive and efficient financial system, where anyone can participate regardless of their investment size or location.
Smart - Contract
powered
Our blockchain-based fund harnesses the power of smart contracts to ensure transparency and enforce agreements autonomously, eliminating the need for traditional oversight. This approach allows both investors and managers to operate with increased trust and efficiency, setting clear terms that are automatically executed. While this technology provides significant benefits, our research also highlights challenges in adapting and maintaining these contracts.
