An interesting variation on a builder-oriented token launcher:

1. Launch token

2. Anyone can buy

3. No one can sell until X date years in the future

4. Founding team allocation has an additional X date + Y months after the unlock

Yeah few have tried this, think is over engineered for the feed + hurts early speculation. Also people want early control + ownership.

Imagine doing a startup and having your angel investors selling weeks after the investment.

In most cases, building something valuable takes a lot of time.

Today's token launchers are optimized for public community members (supporters).

The value exchange between the builder and the supporter needs speculation to be meaningful (builder: to raise funds + product support, supporter: early to believe, early gainz).

Also as builder your model puts huge pressure to deliver +++ value on their initial "investment". Pray it works because if doesn't they will come for you.

Or just do a close seed round. Don't launch a token without a pmf.

If this is true, then very few if any long term projects will use them. The biggest winners will almost always be unavailable to the public.
