# cTIA Labs

CelesteLoan plans to launch a TIA+USDT combination incubation fund to provide investment and incubation services for Celestia ecosystem projects, including external projects using the Celestia DA layer.&#x20;

The core objective of cTIA Labs is to continuously expand the application scenarios of cTIA through the development of ecosystem projects.

#### <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">Investment Targets</mark>

Celestia ecosystem projects, including external projects using the Celestia DA layer, with a focus on DeFi finance in the initial stages.

#### <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">Earnings Logic</mark>

Investment earnings will be used for CelestLoan platform marketing and operations, with 5% of earnings distributed to cTIA holders through airdrops.

#### <mark style="color:purple;background-color:purple;">Investment Projects and cTIA</mark>

Once invested projects go live, periodic airdrops will be made to cTIA holders (calculated based on cTIA holdings proportion). DeFi projects enable cTIA circulation within protocols, resulting in activities such as staking, lending, and liquidity yield.

cTIA Labs, in collaboration with DAO organizations, will facilitate incubation of more projects and the growth of the ecosystem, incentivizing users to hold cTIA and supporting the overall expansion of the Celestia ecosystem.

**Labs Project Coverage**

Initially focused on DeFi applications within the Celestia blockchain, gradually expanding to infrastructure projects, gamefi, NFT, and other sectors.

**cTIA's role in Labs-covered projects will vary：**

👉In DeFi Projects

Staking Assets: Users can stake cTIA in DeFi platforms to earn staking rewards and annual returns, contributing to liquidity and security enhancements.&#x20;

Lending Assets: cTIA can serve as lending assets to obtain stablecoins or other digital assets. Borrowers can use cTIA as collateral, increasing asset utilization.&#x20;

Providing Liquidity: cTIA holders can provide funds to decentralized exchanges or liquidity pools to earn trading fees and liquidity rewards, supporting DeFi market operations and offering earning opportunities to cTIA holders.

👉In Non-DeFi Projects

NFT Airdrops: Various non-DeFi projects can reward their holders with cTIA tokens. This can be achieved through NFT airdrops, enabling cTIA holders to acquire unique NFT assets from projects.&#x20;

Token Airdrops: Projects can also choose to reward cTIA holders through token airdrops, whether native project tokens or other digital assets, adding additional value to cTIA holders.
