there are obviously differences here but its pretty surprising to me how consensus prediction markets are (quantifying odds / valuing rumors and news) vs how controversial the idea of attention markets are (quantifying attention / valuing content) blockchains can uniquely value anything - assets, sentiment, news, content, etc - and as an industry who speaks non stop about the need for new apps, we should be helping teams who in good faith try to unlock new use cases with feedback and support vs attacking them

feels like the vast majority of token launches have been heavily criticized (fairly or unfairly) over the last few months - so i am looking for feedback: what would a best in class token launch look like for a long-term builder (specifically what does the team disclose, what are the lockups, what are the allocations, etc)?
