How to Invest in Projects
Before any investment can take place, Angor implements a crucial security measure: the Recovery Agreement Protocol. This is a fundamental safety feature that protects investors’ funds.
Understanding the Recovery Agreement
What is a Recovery Agreement?
A recovery agreement is a smart contract-based commitment between the investor and project founder that:
- Guarantees your right to recover unused funds
- Sets specific conditions for fund recovery
- Establishes timelock parameters
- Documents mutual responsibilities
- Creates a binding on-chain record
Why is it Important?
- Risk Mitigation: Protects investors from total loss
- Trust Building: Creates accountability for project founders
- Transparency: Clear terms for fund recovery
- Legal Protection: On-chain proof of agreement
- Smart Contract Security: Automated enforcement of terms
How it Works
- Investor initiates recovery permission request
- Founder reviews investor details
- Both parties agree to recovery terms
- Smart contract records the agreement
- Recovery conditions are programmatically enforced
