The public sale of crypto’s newest L2 sold out and allocations were revealed Thursday. But can MegaETH succeed in building a UX similar to Web2?

Big news! Vicky is now an official creator on @Deezer! 🎶🔥 It took time—mainstream moves slow compared to crypto—but we keep pushing forward every day. More platforms, more reach, and more music coming soon. This is just the beginning! 🚀🎧
“Fair launches” might sound great at first glance, but they often leave creators with no capital to sustain momentum after the initial hype fades.
Projects shouldn’t rely solely on early buzz – they should have a built-in way to capture the ongoing trading volume they generate, turning that excitement into a lasting resource.
Why is this important? Without a consistent revenue stream, it’s tough for founders to invest in their teams, support long-term plans, or nurture community engagement.
An ideal token launch mechanism would ensure creators benefit from day one, tapping into every spike of interest and reinvesting it back into their ecosystem.
Ultimately, token launches should be designed to reward both creators and supporters, fuelling sustainable development rather than leaving everything up to chance.
Soon, this will be YOURS.
