Episode notes
Solana Outperforms Centralized Exchanges
- Solana's decentralized on-chain ICO outperformed centralized exchanges during the PUMP token sale.
- This event challenges the belief that centralized exchanges are always more reliable for token launches.
Balanced Revenue Sharing Model
- Sharing 25% of revenue with token holders is a new and cautious approach in crypto.
- Full revenue sharing is impractical because businesses need funds for operation and growth.
Mass Wallet Farming Affects Data
- A significant portion of PUMP token purchases came from newly created wallets, some likely controlled by one entity.
- This may distort median buy-in data and suggests testing of token distribution mechanisms.
