You need to read this if you're a founder! 90% of tokens launched on Solana this year are at a loss But why? It's a mix of everything: - Airdrop sell pressure - VC raises that dilute supply to “ensure project longevity” - Lack of ownership, alignment, and trust (MetaDAO is solving this) If you don't want your token to end up like 99% of the others, you need to change the meta... ▫️ The @DeFiTuna Revenue-Share Model: DeFi Tuna holds the majority of its tokens and stakes them all. 100% of revenue is distributed linearly to stakers. + Community becomes true ambassadors + Holders can earn even when token trades sideways – Team takes on risk if early revenue is low ▫️ The @AviciMoney Buyback Model The Avici team has zero team tokens and no VC funding — only community investment. Revenue is used to buy back the token, creating organic demand. + Max community trust + Zero emissions – Team has limited token exposure (missing alignment) ▫️ The @ranger_finance MetaDAO Performance-Unlock Model Ranger will launch through MetaDAO with zero tokens at TGE. Team tokens only unlock when the token hits milestones (2x, 5x, etc.). + High community trust + Team is forced to deliver before earning upside – Harder to attract new hires due to limited equity or tokens There is no perfect tokenomics model. But all three of these are much much better than outdated schemes that hand 60%+ of supply to VCs and team members before the community ever touches it... If you still follow that model today, your token is already halfway to the graveyard Build trust. Align incentives. Give your community a reason to believe.
