First time sharing on video!

My crazy web3 founder journey... 👇

Many don't know this, but in 2021 I launched my own web3 project.

The concept? 

Take the most popular memes out there and make them into digital pets you could own and take care of. 

We raised a small private round to build an MVP and base community.

With just 2,000 Telegram members we sold out the launchpad round of $250K in one minute.

What followed next?

Three weeks of absolute chaos:

– $550K to $207MM in market cap (375)
– 0 to 75,000 onchain holders
– 0 to 50,000 digital pets sold
– 0 to 55,000 CMC watchlists
– $250K to $30 million in DEX LP
– Hundreds of millions in DEX volume

Going viral and experiencing this pump was the most euphoric period of my life aside from seeing my kids being born.

🤭 My wife still reminds me of the millions in tokens I never sold at this point as I cared about our investors and community.

But, what goes up must come down 😂

Next?

The bear market began to show it's face and decline set in. 

BNB began crashing.

Liquidity dried up.

Our pumped chart was in the worst position it could possibly be.

What followed next was six months of anxiety and stress like I've never had before. 

16-18 hour days with no days off, fighting like crazy with everything else working against me. 

I knew nothing about tokenomics in the beginning of this project (like most all founders).

Buying pressure hides a lot of flaws, and our cracks began to show. 

I had to change our entire token economy while the project was live, which was quite a challenging and expensive transition. 

Nobody likes it when you mess with their rewards, but you can't sit back and let people destroy themselves, either. 

I'll never forget changing the economy over and watching the falling knife that was our chart bounce.

Think your token economy is tight? Try going up 375x in three weeks and see if it breaks 😂

Eventually I left out of frustration and doing literally all of the work.

I'm proud to show my face today because even during the darkest times, I still showed up every day and was present in the community day and night.

I actually formed a business (CONV3RT) with Mike Blutstein, who I met as a community member at my project. 

My perspective isn't based on sitting in the passenger seat watching someone else take risk and acting like their success mine.

It's founded on the highs, the lows, the successes, the failures and 20+ years of experience across every role in business (I'm 43).

My profile/experience section shares even more depth for those interested.

Being a web3 founder was the hardest job I ever had in my career.

Respect for anyone else taking the leap to build their dream ethically in our space.

Up 800% since launch in less than a month - that's Avici!

Why and how? Todays video explores:

– Avici's unique fundraising model (MetaDAO)
– Why they raised $3.5MM when they could have raised $30MM+
– What would have happened if they took the full $30MM
– Liquidity and health of the pool
– How future token mints are powered by community votes & traction
– Why the high FDV low float insiders model is stupid (for retail)

Most of these launches today are low float high FDVs with hardly any revenue or token utilities.

They are designed for mass extraction, not growth. 

Personally, I love how Avici didn't take the full $30MM+ and instead opted to build while taking a much more reasonable market cap. 

This shows the team's alignment and long-term focus, which is essential from a community perspective.

Stablecoins were supposed to be safe / less volatile.

Anyone else noticing 2020/2021 farming vibes?

On my X feed, I'm seeing unrealistic yields in a lot of these stablecoins.

I've literally seen 30-50% advertised yields for stablecoins if you follow a given yield strategy with several stablecoins borrowed throughout various vaults.

Stablecoins spinning up their own permissionless vault on Morpho for lending and borrowing.

Prior?

Teams had to fork Aave or build their own custom system for lending and borrowing.

Or, they took a much longer pathway of applying to be whitelisted on Aave as collateral.

Seems a lot of the due diligence work Aave (the OG) would conduct is largely ignored due to the ease of deploying these vaults and strategies. 

Now? 

Significantly easier.

Key point: The loan is only as good as the collateral backing it.

The yield is only valuable if someone is actually willing to fund it.

I think we're going to see even more collapses similar to XUSD in the near future. 

To me, this seems like an incestuous web of lending and borrowing schemes to draw people in, increase market cap and gain market share.

If the yield advertised can be traced back to actual liquidity and dollar value, then it's a win.

If it can't?

It's a disaster waiting to happen...just like those farms I mentioned from 2020/2021 and their unrealistic yields.

Because if a 30% advertised yield strategy is true and BTC increases 30% per year on average over time, why hold BTC or invest in it at all? You can hold a stablecoin and get the same returns without the downside risk.

Appreciate any insights from those who are much deeper into stablecoins than me!

Uniswap releases Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA).

A new price discovery mechanism for token launches.

Think of it as a fair auction where everyone gets the same price. 

No more frontrunning or sandwich attacks.

– Continuous clearing means all bids settle at a single uniform price 
– Automatic bid spreading prevents price manipulation 
– Real-time transparency (everyone sees the same data) 
– Direct migration to V4 pools with liquidity seeding

It's interesting to see more and more ICO tools for projects and tokens focused around retail.

For the past couple years, retail has gotten the especially short end of the stick when it comes to most token launches.

Most anything that went live on a DEX/CEX already had insiders in mass profit mode with retail getting in at the top.

Also, putting together a liquidity pool for your token can be an expense in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

This is why launchpads exist - to help fund LP and CEX listings alongside marketing and community building leading to the launch.

NOTE: This may seed DEX, but projects still have CEX listings in many cases and these costs can be excessive (five, six or seven figures).

On Monday I'll be doing a video deep dive into this, sharing my thoughts on the pros and cons. 

To be frank, most opportunities in our space lately were only good for those on the inside.

This needs to change and retail needs to have an opportunity. 

Else?

The very community supporting the projects will continuously find themselves rinsed.

It's exciting to see the new ways of capital formation.

Once I dig into this a lot more I look forward to sharing an informed opinion!

Ever notice how the high FDV launches with big names will rarely do a public sale? There's a reason for that... 👇

The usual plan:
1. Big names & insiders pile in
2. Testnet/airdrop w/fake volume
3. List at a high FDV
4. Retail buys in
5. ^ This is the public sale instead

Watch Monad execute this playbook with precision after raising almost $250MM from investors.

What is the expectation of returns and how much selling pressure will this create?

Think about it:

A $500MM FDV that wants to sell any reasonable amount of supply to public will have to raise quite a bit of liquidity, sucking that from the market.

1% of $500MM is $5MM raised.

Instead?

Give out free tokens via the airdrop (made more valuable by the high FDV).

Create lots of hype and near free marketing.

Dump on retail and mass extract.

This is where they raise money from public.

That airdrop? 

Usually goes to farmers who dump and go on to the next farm.

Same playbook for many of these high FDVs and most crash and burn.

I remember in 2020/2021 where we obsessed over having a reasonable launch price so there was a chance to rise.

When I launched my own project in 2021 we had over 50% of supply circulating and available for community on launch at a very reasonable market cap.

Our public round sold out in literally one minute.

Being early? It was a blessing.

People used to literally get pissed off if they missed a launchpad round or weren't whitelisted for the sale.

Now?

You're upset if you got in or bought a CEX listing immediately 😂

Thoughts?

Uniswap Continuous Clearing Auctions overview!

A new way to launch tokens (5 mins): 👇

One of the biggest challenges many projects face?

How to get their token liquid and into the market.

Uniswap Continuous Clearing Auctions:
1. Projects set sale parameters (tokens, length, min price, etc.)
2. Auction runs for set period of time
3. Bids are spread across the entire auction
4. The final price is settled and v4 pool created
5. Token is now live on the DEX

Without a launchpad, any project can take the launch into their own hands.

Users simply specify "I want to invest 1 ETH at a maximum price of $1/token" and if those parameters are met across the auction their bids get in. 

Price discovery happens naturally.

The challenge?

This could lead to higher prices and market caps on launch, which are negative.

Remember how "Fair Launch" strategies used to be a thing?

What ended up happening is projects sucked all of the liquidity from their communities, launched and had no new liquidity to rise higher.

The same challenge could exist here.

After v4 creation, one must make sure they have new/fresh liquidity for launch.

Else?

New buying volume will be minimal and...

...you'll have buyers who are looking to flip the presale.

With no exit liquidity the chart just looks like a dumped slow rug.

That said, refund policies are harming many founders post-launch.

I know one founder who had the launchpad itself selling and crashing their price, of which 90% of buyers refunded.

The result?

The project ate $100K in listing, marketing, etc. on the launchpad only to keep just 10% of money raised.

The pool?

That was created out of their pockets, which the launchpad then dumped tokens into.

Net losses were $200K+.

I think we'll continue to see more retail-focused platforms spinning up as time goes on.

Retail has been absolutely destroyed lately in this market as most "opportunities" are high FDV insider-riddled projects waiting to dump on them.
