Polychain 指控前合作夥伴與 Eclipse Labs 進行 1300 萬美元的秘密代幣交易

Polychain Capital 指控其前普通合夥人 Niraj Pant 秘密與 Polychain 投資的新創公司 Eclipse Labs 達成代幣交易，違反了公司政策

Web3 venture capital firm Polychain Capital has accused its former general partner Niraj Pant of violating company policies by secretly securing a token deal with Eclipse Labs, a startup in which Polychain had invested.

Web3 創投公司 Polychain Capital 指控其前普通合夥人 Niraj Pant 秘密與 Polychain 投資的新創公司 Eclipse Labs 達成代幣交易，違反了公司政策。

Pant allegedly arranged to receive a 5% token stake, later reduced to 1.3%, in the startup, which was valued at $270 million in its last funding round and is developing a decentralized Web3 social network. The tokens were set to be valued at $13 million based on the last funding round price.

據稱，Pant 安排獲得這家新創公司 5% 的代幣股份，後來減少到 1.3%，該公司在上一輪融資中估值為 2.7 億美元，正在開發去中心化的 Web3 社交網路。根據上一輪融資的價格，這些代幣的估值為 1,300 萬美元。

The arrangement was made with Neel Somani of Eclipse Labs shortly after Pant led Polychain’s $6 million pre-seed funding round for the startup in early 2022, according to a person familiar with the matter. Pant was also given the option to purchase tokens at a 50% discount.

據一位知情人士透露，這項安排是在 Pant 於 2022 年初主導 Polychain 為這家新創公司進行 600 萬美元種子前融資後不久與 Eclipse Labs 的 Neel Somani 達成的。 Pant 還可以選擇以 50% 的折扣購買代幣。

The incident highlights ongoing concerns within the crypto industry regarding undisclosed advisory roles and token deals. Several crypto VCs have been accused of engaging in undisclosed token deals or advisory roles, which could potentially create conflicts of interest.

這起事件凸顯了加密貨幣產業內對未公開的諮詢角色和代幣交易的持續擔憂。一些加密貨幣創投公司被指控參與未公開的代幣交易或擔任顧問角色，可能會造成利益衝突。

In addition to the alleged token deal, Polychain also invests in Pant’s AI startup, which is developing a large language model.

除了所謂的代幣交易外，Polychain 還投資了 Pant 的人工智慧新創公司，該公司正在開發大型語言模型。

Pant left Polychain in November 2022 after about four years at the firm. He joined Polychain in 2018 from Bain Capital, where he was a vice president in the private equity group.

Pant 在 Polychain 工作了大約四年後於 2022 年 11 月離開。他於 2018 年從貝恩資本加入 Polychain，擔任私募股權集團副總裁。

At Polychain, Pant was involved in several key deals, including the firm’s early investment in decentralized exchange Uniswap, which was later valued at $1.7 billion in a Series B funding round.

在 Polychain，Pant 參與了幾項關鍵交易，包括該公司對去中心化交易所 Uniswap 的早期投資，該交易後來在 B 輪融資中估值為 17 億美元。

Pant did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Polychain spokesperson declined to comment.

潘特沒有立即回應置評請求。 Polychain 發言人拒絕置評。
