Verify value through a pilot first, then decide on a seat.
Not every relationship must become a node first. For large institutions and strategic work, the reliable sequence is often verify through cooperation, then bind, then take an optional seat. This page breaks the entrance down by participation type.

How to fileState the cooperation type and delivery scope in Node type, Role, and Resources
Cooperation vs. nodeCooperation is a relationship; a node is a formal seat with system permissions
Who fits the cooperation path first
This path suits single-deal or framework collaborations, organizations that must clear compliance and onboarding first, and those that need several rounds of internal investment-committee approval. It fits leading projects, VCs and family offices, exchanges and liquidity partners, service providers, media and distribution networks, and regional partners tied to governments or industrial parks.
Project sideFinancing round, use of funds, timeline, data room, and advisory structure. State the capital or services you expect from the WCN side.
VC / Institutional capitalFund or account nature, stage and check range, geographic and track limits, co-investment and referral policy where it applies.
Service providerService list, pricing method, representative cases, and whether you accept task distribution and acceptance criteria.
Regional / Strategic partnerJurisdictions and cities covered, reachable projects and capital pools, local compliance needs, and the form of cooperation.
Cooperation application steps
Name the cooperation type
Pick the main tag from the four categories above. Prepare one or two workable hypotheses, such as connecting audit partners to Southeast Asian seed projects.
Submit structured information
File at wcn.network/apply. Put delivery capability in Resources you can provide, your need in Looking for, and mark "Partnership" or the specific form in Node type / Role.
Counterpart sorting
Your application enters the matching business line. A reply on whether to proceed usually arrives within about 48 hours.
Agreement and pilot
For large or sensitive scope, the parties may sign an NDA or framework agreement first, then verify through a pilot deal or task.
Optional: node conversion
Once the relationship holds and two-way delivery has been verified, you can start the node-seat process in 14.1 to unify permissions and settlement.
If an existing node referred you, name the referrer and the background in Why WCN or the contact field. This supports priority sorting and conflict checks.
Cooperation versus node
Cooperation records a business relationship and a delivery agreement. A node additionally binds a seat in the system, default permissions, and long-term responsibility. Many institutions run one or two closed loops first, then weigh whether to take on node duties.
WCN is both a node network and an institutional collaboration layer. The cooperation entrance lets a qualified counterpart open a dialogue without first settling whether to become a node.
