Colony Lab announced its Avalanche investment, CLY took flight!
Colony Lab, an Avalanche ecosystem developer and accelerator, announced that it will invest $10 million to support the long-term growth of the network. The company has purchased more than 500,000 AVAX tokens worth $8 million in the last few months. Now, he said, these funds will be used to establish a validator program that benefits AVAX holders. A validator is a participant in a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain network that helps maintain security and confirms new transactions sent to the blockchain. Validators do this by staking their tokens and often earning rewards.
Colony Lab will also invest in the Colony Avalanche Index (CAI), a token index that generates returns on the Avalanche ecosystem, which includes assets such as AVAX and Trader Joe’s (JOE). It will distribute the fees it receives from mints or redemptions to Colony Lab’s CLY token stakers. Its rewards from both its initial and upcoming validator programs will be directed to the CLY staker community. This news has not yet had an impact on the AVAX price. However, it skyrocketed the price of Colony’s native token, CLY. CLY price skyrocketed following the news. While the token was trading at $0.1135 during the day, it suddenly jumped to $0.1617.
