First off, huge respect for $DONUT and the entire ecosystem, it's genuinely exciting. With that said, allow me to share a quick personal observation about Franchiser launches… Totally get the appeal of a true fair launch through mining, no VCs, no snipers, no presales. Everyone starts on equal footing, and that's genuinely one of the cleanest ways to distribute a token. But looking at $GUH (the first Franchiser launch) as a live example: even though the market cap has climbed from sub-$1K to around $259K now (mostly driven by constant new supply from miners), the liquidity is still extremely thin at only ~$255. Price has bled hard over time due to relentless selling of mining rewards, miners have to cover costs or lock in profits, so fresh tokens hit the market every day with very little organic buy pressure to absorb it. The result is exactly what we're seeing: super low liquidity, high slippage, and retail buyers on secondary getting slowly wrecked despite no rug or malice involved. Fair launch is awesome for fairness at day one, but without built-in sinks, utility, or strong incentives for miners/holders to lock/stake rewards, long-term price stability remains tough. If most Franchiser tokens follow this pattern and struggle to hold value, it could gradually erode confidence in the whole pipeline, even if the core $DONUT mechanics keep improving. Just my observation from watching $GUH closely. Still appreciate the fair launch ethos and the post, curious what others think about adding more tokenomic safeguards for future launches.
