Aelin is a fundraising protocol built on Ethereum and launched on Optimism. The AELIN process is based on 3 main stages:

• POOL STAGE. A SPONSOR creates a AELIN POOL to raise funds to invest into a specific HOLDER by acquiring HOLDER TOKENS (aka Underlying Tokenised Assets)
• DEAL STAGE. Once the PURCHASE WINDOW ends the SPONSOR negotiates a DEAL with the HOLDER, and must present & create the DEAL before the LOCKED DURATION ends
• VESTING STAGE. With both Redemption Periods ended, PURCHASERs are now able to Vest their DEAL TOKENS for HOLDER TOKENS, subject to any vesting schedule set by the SPONSOR.
