Here's how I'd structure a project launch if I had the chance:
First, skip the hype machine. Forget the endless shilling on Kaito, Twitter threads, and similar platforms. That's not how you build something real.
Instead, focus on one thing—making a product people actually want to use. Sounds obvious, right? But most projects get this backwards. Build genuine utility, let word-of-mouth do the work, and watch the community grow on its own terms.
When it comes time for the token event, do something different. Open creator allocations so early supporters and content builders get a fair shot at participating. They're the ones who helped spread the word anyway—why not let them benefit from it?
It's the opposite of most token launches, but that's precisely the point. Organic growth beats forced narratives every single time.

Well said, finally someone has pointed this out. The vast majority of projects die because of excessive marketing.
Truly successful projects no longer rely on Twitter bombardments and various shilling. Word-of-mouth is the real key, but unfortunately most teams can't wait that long.
Regarding creator distribution, it's a good idea, but in reality, very few projects can operate this way; most are greedy and want to keep the benefits for their own people.

That's true, but in reality, how many projects really dare to do this? Most are still rushing to harvest quick gains.

Basically, it's about not cutting the leeks, right? This theory sounds great, but do projects really do this? I feel like it's all just slogans.

That's correct, but the reality is that 99% of projects won't do this at the start. It still depends on creating buzz, relationships, and the network of angel investors.
