Perfecting a launchpad balances the fine line between wealth effect for market participants, and attracting strong teams who can build out good fundamentals.
taking into account all of the feedback from degens and founders alike, it seems like the design principles has to be these:
- allow a higher multiple upside for degens
- providing teams the runway and OPEX financing to build giga products
- bring attention to teams' product and launches
- block out capital extractors like snipers
WHAT IF
there is a whole new mechanism, designed from scratch. easier to participate and understand.
- market cap of the launch starts from 100k usd. really small. but it's on a standard xyk curve. Meaning that virgens are not buying at a fix price. second person buys higher than the first person. This means that the potential gains are much higher , and people can size better
- why then would the team launch at such a low val? we bring in a novel method for teams to raise funds along the xyk curve (on top of trading taxes)
- how do you prevent the team from rugging? team has no access to tokens unless hits a mcap milestone, or after one year. If teams want tokens before unlock, they can use the opex raised on the xyk curve to repurchase tokens
- how do u avoid a sniper or a bad actor who wants to steal a large chunk of the supply at the start. bring in reductive taxes within first hour of trading from 99% to 1%. So if you are sniping in the first second, you are buying at 100x the initial market cap.
- how to create a 3,3 flywheel where active and loyal participants get rewarded? of all launches, a small percentage of token supply of each launch is reserved to reward people who stake veVIRT, who trade agent tokens.
- how to make sure this airdrop is not a supply overhang. jeet jails still?
Evolving thoughts.
Pls chime in.
we launched genesis 5 months ago to
1) bring team token transparency
2) kill snipers
3) bring attention to new launches
fellow virgens, give ur feedback how to be better
