Tokens became easy to launch. Alignment did not.
https://t.co/gK6gbTtBVn introduces the Aligned Coin - a launch structure where participation and upside are structurally linked from day one.
Fees flow back to holders. Supply unlocks over time. Incentives move in the same direction.
Internet capital markets. Aligned by design
@696_eth yeah protocol fees will be reduced once escape velocity is reached. It's not set in stone
Keep in mind what you see is testnet beta so we're just starting
Because the question assumes demand is the problem. It isn't.
Most platforms were built to farm traders, not retain them. Of course demand collapsed.
Build it so holders earn instead of getting farmed. Then the picture looks very different.
That's the bet
why do people keep building token launchers?
one of the most crowded markets
demand going to 0 for years
and pump fun basically owns whats left
so why?
Most crypto tokens are designed backwards.
You make money by selling, not by holding.
Which means every other holder is your competition from day one.
Founders are timing their vesting unlock, investors are timing theirs, and retail is trying to front-run both.
Nobody is actually aligned; everyone is just playing musical chairs.
The fix isn't complicated in theory, if holders earn by holding rather than selling, the incentive flips.
You stop trying to outmaneuver other holders and start trying to grow the protocol. Your competition becomes other protocols, not your own community.
The reason it hasn't happened comes down to two things:
• Distributing revenue to holders looked too much like an unregistered security under existing law. That legal risk killed the idea before it started for most teams.
• The infrastructure to do it cheaply didn't exist. Gas costs on the mainnet Ethereum made programmatic revenue distribution impractical.
L2s solved the second problem, and L1 is scaling. Regulation is close to solving the first. The teams paying attention to this now have a real head start.

@Flynnjamm Great read! I would argue vesting and locking is a good additional mechanism to provide stability, when it's combined with dividends.
This is exactly what we did with aligned tokens - locking, vesting and dividends for each holder
Kann Audits 🤝 @casterdotfun
We’re excited to announce our official security partnership with casterdotfun!
Castr is a token launchpad enabling fast token deployment. We’re proud to support their security.
@kadenox Proper infrastructure requires the best interest of its users in mind. No one is doing this. It's more profitable not to. But that's what I built

Usually referral systems reward people with influence the most. The problem is when they get big % of your work. Then it's a matter of who has the most active community
We took different approach with our referral system. Both parties receive the same amount of points when you sign up. That's it
Big accounts can still leverage their community, but power users can outperform them with activity
@Cryptoaeon People are addicted to quick flips. Only hard rules enforced by code can change this and go back to cult communities
