Fair Launch

token
distribution

A fair launch distributes a token or project without privileged insider allocation, pre-mine, or private sale advantages.

1
concept

Fair launches aim to avoid preferential treatment: no private discounts, team pre-mine, or hidden insider allocation. Distribution may happen through mining, liquidity bootstrapping, airdrops with public criteria, or open auctions.

tradeoffs

Benefits include stronger community trust and a more transparent starting point. Downsides include limited development runway, weak initial coordination, and potential whale accumulation through open markets.
