Polkadot's governance lets DOT holders lock tokens for more voting power. Longer lock = Higher conviction

Turns out, most users aren't even locking for long:

~60% of votes come from no lock, or only 7-day lock

Only 16.2% of voters commit to 28 days for a 3x multiplier

Simplicity didn’t start by accident

Here is the why behind it all.

Let’s launch properly.

Pleasure to be working with great companies like Folks Finance. What they have achieved on Algorand (as a secondary objective) is worth a closer look:

275M ALGO locked into the protocol to mint xALGO, their liquid staking token.

After Algorand moved away from governance-based staking, the team launched a proper yield-bearing LST.

- APR: ~6%
- Revenue potential: 1.65M ALGO/year
- Current fee: 0% (incentivized growth phase)
- Planned fee: 10% on rewards

A strong case of protocol-level adaptation and product execution 🔥

"Here’s the advice I’d give myself if I was starting again"


Forget the token

Focus on ...

What do $ZORA, $NIL, $BERA, $GUN, and $BID all have in common?

Each one underperformed compared to pre-TGE sentiment. They launched without being fully prepared.

Why? We have a fat research piece going into the why.

In the meantime, we help to launch with confidence, stability, and the right partners in place from day one.

Because we actually do the work:
- Audit the model
- Fix emissions
- Negotiate every deal
- Sniper-proof TGEs
- Build real demand
- Strong partnerships with the best players

This is how founders earn trust, and keep it.

Most DeFi strategies look like this:

1. Launch pool

2. Pray

We broke down a real DeFi strategy you can actually use, mapping out the pools you can build and how they connect.

The Philippines - a country where nearly half the population doesn’t have a bank account,
but almost everyone has internet access.

It’s a near-perfect environment for crypto adoption and scaling.

Our co-founder Daniel Malinovski will be in Manila next week for AIBC x SiGMA, speaking on a panel about AI-powered startups. Come see him!

📍 SMX Convention Center
June 4, 13:45–14:15

With:
Leah Callon-Butler (Director, Emfarsis)
Myrtle Anne Ramos (CEO, Block Tides)
Anton Golub (CBO, freedx)

Picking your TGE partners is like picking your co-founders.
Do it right, or enjoy the long slow bleed.


The devil’s in the due diligence:

- Check their past work.
- Talk to projects they’ve supported.
- And read the contract. Every line. Twice.


We saw one agency contract that basically said:

“If we mess up, it’s not our fault. You're on your own”


If someone wrecks your launch with a careless post or shady campaign, you want that responsibility to be somewhere.

Go with who’s accountable.

First-time founders chase everything. Experienced ones chase one thing: revenue.

Here’s the truth Alex wishes he knew earlier

Everyone wants their TGE to go well.
But most teams have no idea what “go well” actually means.

One of the angles we analyzed in our latest report was marketing.

Our researchers audited the marketing behind every major TGE of 2025: every tweet, every article, every listing post.


We tagged and logged:

– Types of post (teaser, investigation, meme, launch news, etc)
– Timing (pre-TGE, TGE, post)
– Tone, emoji use, call to action
– Engagement: views, likes, replies, RTs
– Media coverage: when, where, and how often
– Coordination with listings
And other key criteria.


This level of analysis gives us a practical benchmark - so our clients don’t just copy what worked once, but know why it worked.

Our full-scale TGE performance analysis is on the way. Stay tuned
