Most crypto communities don't survive the first year after TGE. Not because the project failed. Because the structure was built for a sale, not a community. Telegram groups optimized for hype don't convert into engaged holders. Discord servers built for announcements don't become places people want to stay. A community built before the token is fundamentally different from one built around it. The first type has shared identity. The second has shared speculation. One survives a price correction. The other doesn't.

There's a communication pattern that kills more projects than bad tech. > Founders go quiet when things are hard. > They overcommunicate when the price is up. Their community reads both signals perfectly. When a team disappears during a difficult period, trust doesn't come back when they reappear. When a team is loud only during pumps, the community learns to associate updates with distribution. The founders who build lasting communities do the opposite. Show up more when things are flat. Say less when things are up. Consistency is more credible than enthusiasm.

Read the vesting schedule before you read anything else. The whitepaper tells you what the team wants you to believe, but the vesting schedule tells you what they actually believe. If you see a short cliff, large team allocation, and no gradual unlock, that might be a team planning a quick exit. If you see a long vest, small insider share, and low token release into circulation, that's a team that expects to still be around in a few years. Most people skip the vesting schedule entirely. The people who don't skip a lot of bad investments.

One Thing We'd Tell a Founder Before They Launch, Edition 2 Your community’s patience has an expiration date. The window between announcement and TGE is where most launches quietly lose momentum. Wait too long and attention fades, but move too fast and expectations can outpace reality.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! The best trade in crypto history started 16 years ago with two pizzas. A reminder that the biggest shifts usually look irrational in the beginning.

Most people see a CEX listing and think it’s the moment to buy. But if you’ve watched enough launches, you start to realize it’s often when people start selling. Early buyers finally get liquidity, funds get distribution, positions that were locked or illiquid suddenly have an exit. So if you’re coming in at listing, you’re stepping into a market where a lot of people have been waiting for that exact moment. It doesn’t mean listings are bad. It just means you should be asking a different question: Who’s been waiting for this to happen, and what are they likely to do next?

Ice cold

We’re starting a new series: "One thing we’d tell a founder before they launch.” Just short, honest observations from the launch side written for founders. Here's the first: Before you go live, ask yourself one simple question: Why would someone choose to enter this sale today instead of tomorrow? If that answer isn’t obvious, people won’t act.

We need one of these immediately

MultichainZ Sale Refund Due to ongoing changes to the project’s TGE timeline, we’ve decided to fully refund all participants from the MultichainZ sale on Tuesday, May 12th. All participants will receive their contributed funds via airdrop directly to their wallets. A follow-up sale will be conducted on the launchpad once the official TGE date has been finalised. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.

There are 3 types of users during a presale Which one are you?

Update on the MultichainZ Sale Lottery Since their TGE is scheduled for May, the $5K lottery tied to their April sale will be drawn later this month instead, around May 22nd. Thanks to our community for understanding.

A lot of people don’t realize this, but CoinTerminal actually has two different referral programs: 1. Project referrals (up to $5,000) Know a project that’s raising? Refer them → if they launch, you can earn up to $5,000. 2. Contribution referrals (5% commission) Refer users to participate in sales → earn 5% on their contributions. Even if they refund, you still keep the commission. Both are simple and takes minutes of your time.

We should probably spend less time on X. But then we’d miss these. CoinTerminal Hall of Fame replies, vol. 4

Raising capital and having a successful launch aren't the same thing. It's one of those truths the market keeps demonstrating, and founders keep re-learning through experience. A project can: > Raise $20M, generate press, build a community, and still have a token that collapses on day one. The fundraise creates momentum. It doesn't control what happens when that momentum meets actual market structure. The real variables are what most founders underestimate before TGE: token distribution, circulating supply, who's holding, and with what incentive. These determine the first 72 hours more than any fundraising headline does.

Most launchpads require you to hold, stake, or qualify before you can access a sale. CoinTerminal doesn't work that way. Any user can participate on a first-come, first-served basis with no ticket size cap and no staking requirement. The MultichainZ ($CHAINZ) FCFS round is live now ↓ cointerminal.com/app/en/proj…
