The number of spots allocated for communities doesn’t mean they are GOOD or BAD.
Some communities are not vocal enough on X
But they are goated traders, collectors and actually push projects forward
Or they are full of diamond holders with less exposure to many rugs, so less PTSD
I advise any upcoming founder or collab manager not to base their decision only on previous collabs & numbers
The WL is your currency to negotiate and carefully curate your future holders
Don’t underestimate this
It’s on YOU to pick your future holders and supporters
It’s true that exposure is needed with “vocal” communities & KOLs
But always keep in mind that you most likely don’t want to become like every other project
gain, it depends on you to make sure the WLs are not farmed, are uniquely distributed, cover different countries and regions for maximum exposure, and include market makers, collectors, traders, etc
What kills projects is not flippers
It’s people who mass list a project and ruin the floor price, or when the team doesn’t control enough of the supply (1 out of many reasons)
That’s why sometimes you see successful tokens get bundled at first
Important note: this won’t guarantee you "success"
> There are many other factors, so study successful projects
Another important note: I am saying this while we get almost the top allocations for every project, usually a full allocation.
Just trying to be clear here, because if this were posted by another founder getting lower spots, it would be regarded as whining or a skill issue.
Trying to be real here. It might affect our allocations, but yeah, it has to be said.
Happy to hear your thoughts, and maybe some of the goated underrated communities out there.
All the best <3
