Seedify Announces Phoenix Raise: $3M Funding Round on October 9th

**Cobot**, an AI trading terminal for prediction markets, is launching its Initial Model Offering (IMO) on January 19th at 11:00 AM UTC through Seedify. **Key Features:** - Mobile-first platform with autonomous trading agents - Real-time tracking of market conviction and mispricings - Auto-execution of trading strategies - On-chain data storage - Aggregates markets across **Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, Myriad, and Opinion** **Background:** Cobot won third place in a recent prediction markets hackathon and was selected by community vote. The project enters the IMO with a working product and established platform integrations. **Access:** Registrations are open for $SFUND stakers. The IMO uses milestone-based funding tied to delivery milestones. The launch marks the first in a series of IMOs for the hackathon's top five winners, addressing traders' challenges with managing multiple prediction market dashboards.

Seedify has launched a bonding curve sale for a new project on their platform. The sale is accessible through their launchpad at [seedify.fund](https://seedify.fund/bonding-curve/6967be1766efc6495ab6964d). **Key Details:** - The price shown represents the **starting price** of the bonding curve - This is **not** the final listing price - Available to SFUND token holders through Seedify's tiered system Seedify operates a nine-tier allocation system where Tier 1 uses lottery-based allocation, while Tiers 2-9 receive guaranteed allocation based on their SFUND holdings. The bonding curve mechanism allows early participants to purchase tokens at gradually increasing prices as more buyers join the sale.

**Initial Milestone Offerings (IMOs)** introduce a new funding structure where project capital unlocks in stages based on delivered milestones, not upfront. **Key differences from traditional launches:** - Funds release only when milestones are completed and community-approved - Reduces risk of rug pulls and abandoned projects - Shifts focus from price action to actual development progress **Why IMOs were created:** Traditional web3 launches often succeeded or failed within days. While refundable IDOs offered some protection, strong teams could lose momentum in poor market conditions before proving their value. **Live implementation:** [Cobot](https://twitter.com/cobotggs) serves as one of the first IMO test cases, demonstrating how roadmaps, milestones, and funding track real progress throughout development. IMOs aim to give builders time to prove themselves while maintaining accountability through community oversight of milestone completion.

Seedify has updated its comprehensive guide covering both launchpad models: **Permissioned IDOs** and **bonding curve sales**. The guide includes detailed information on: - **IMO (Initial Milestones Offering) sales** - a new capital raising method where 80% of funds unlock only when project milestones are met - **Milestone-based funding structure** - liquidity plus 20% released initially, remaining 80% locked across 4 milestones - **Tier-based access system** - SFUND stakers access sales from Tier 9 to Tier 1, with earlier tiers getting lower prices - **Whitelist access** for users who correctly predicted Top 5 winners - **Public access phase** when sales open to everyone The updated guide arrives ahead of upcoming raises, providing all necessary information in one centralized resource.

Seedify has postponed its first scheduled launches from today to **Wednesday**, citing feedback from prediction market winners who requested additional preparation time. The team apologized for the last-minute announcement of the delay. **Key Details:** - Original launch date was moved to accommodate participant needs - Decision follows earlier strategic timing choices to avoid weekend launches - Prediction market winners cited as primary reason for extension The delay affects the blockchain gaming launchpad's initial project rollouts, which utilize Seedify's tiered allocation system for SFUND token holders.
