New Ideas for Cost Design in a No-VC Financing Model



In the crypto ecosystem, some projects are trying to break free from the constraints of traditional VC funding. When you don't rely on venture capital, project expenses can be truly focused on what matters most.

For example, how to cover operational costs? Where do storage and logistics expenses come from? Platform stability requires resource investment, and user incentives also need a budget—these can all be addressed through a reasonable fee structure. In this model, designing the fee structure becomes crucial. Every penny must correspond to a specific value output.

The key lies in transparency of fees and the alignment of their用途. When users see that the fees they pay are directly used to improve services, maintain ecosystem stability, or even feedback into community incentives, this model can create a positive feedback loop. Compared to projects that rely solely on funding subsidies, this approach offers greater long-term sustainability.

Sounds good, but how many can truly achieve transparency? Most are still just repackaging old wine in new bottles.

In simple terms, it's a self-sufficient approach, and if no one is backing you up, the fee structure needs to be meticulously designed. But the real question is, how many projects can truly achieve transparent fees? Most are still secretly profiting under the banner of "community first."

Well said, finally someone hit my pain point. Being able to spend expenses more wisely without relying on VCs—this logic I love.

Sounds good, but to be honest, can it really hold up without VC backing? Those funding and subsidy projects seem to be doing well.

That sounds ideal, but how does it work in practice? Every penny must correspond to value output. It's easy to say but hard to do.
