How To Purchase VEOs
Lucid supports multiple VEO purchase flows depending on the VEO structure and the required assets for participation.
Each VEO type follows the same core model:
- participants contribute assets or liquidity
- governance tokens are purchased at a discount
- purchased tokens vest over time
- tokens become claimable according to the vesting schedule
The purchase flow differs depending on whether the VEO uses:
- strategic assets
- liquidity provisioning
- DeFi protocol deposits
Supported Purchase Flows
Lucid currently supports the following VEO purchase flows:
| VEO Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Strategic Asset VEOs | Bond strategic assets such as USDC, USDT, or ETH |
| Liquidity VEOs | Bond LP positions created through Steer Protocol |
| TVL VEOs | Bond protocol deposits or yield-bearing assets |
Each flow includes dedicated infrastructure and asset requirements depending on the VEO configuration.
Purchase Process Overview
Most VEO purchases follow the same high-level process:
- Open the selected VEO market.
- Review:
- pricing
- discount
- vesting duration
- market capacity
- supported assets
- Prepare the required assets on the correct chain.
- Submit the purchase transaction.
- Receive vested governance token allocation.
- Monitor vesting progress through the My VEOs dashboard.
- Claim vested tokens over time.
Asset Preparation
Some VEOs require:
- specific assets
- LP tokens
- protocol receipts
- assets on specific chains
If the required assets are unavailable:
- use Lucid’s Multi-Bridge infrastructure
- bridge assets to the correct chain
- swap into the required assets through supported DEXs
- prepare the required liquidity position
Asset requirements depend on the specific VEO structure and ecosystem configuration.
Vesting Mechanism
Purchased governance tokens are vested over time according to the VEO configuration.
Depending on the VEO:
- vesting may follow linear release schedules
- vesting may follow fixed expiry schedules
- claims become available progressively over time
Purchased assets contributed into the VEO are transferred directly into ecosystem treasury infrastructure and are non-refundable after purchase execution.
