Web3 project Tomarket had generated huge buzz ahead of the launch of its native token, TOMA. With a promise of generous rewards through a massive airdrop, investors’ anticipation was high. However, what should have been a celebration of decentralized innovation turned into a resounding disappointment.

An airdrop below expectations

The TOMA airdrop was designed to attract a large and active community. However, several factors contributed to its failure:

1. Low initial value: Contrary to expectations of a competitive price, TOMA was launched at an extremely low level, creating a shock wave among investors who were hoping for a significant return on their stake.

2. Excessive token volume: The airdrop distributed a large number of tokens, diluting the overall value and causing downward pressure on the price.

3. Lack of clear communication: Many participants did not receive the rewards they expected, leading to frustration and loss of trust in the Tomarket team.




A price that disappointed from the launch


When listed on exchanges, the TOMA token opened at a price significantly lower than analysts' estimates.


Sharp drop after launch: A massive sell-off followed the airdrop, exacerbated by investors trying to minimize their losses.


Impact on reputation: The poor price performance not only affected individual investors but also tarnished the image of the project among potential future partners.

Community Reactions

Social media was flooded with criticism:

Some users called the project an "empty promise."

Others expressed dissatisfaction with the economic model, saying it did not support sustainable growth of the token.

Discussion forums also highlighted transparency issues in token distribution.

The future of Tomarket

Despite this false start, Tomarket still has assets to bounce back:

1. Growth potential: If the team can correct its mistakes, the project could regain the trust of its users.

2. Unique features: Interactive games and decentralized marketplace remain promising pillars.

3. Strategic revisions needed: Better management of tokenomics and proactive communication could reverse the trend.

Conclusion

TOMA’s airdrop is a lesson for new Web3 projects: excessive hype and poor expectation management can quickly turn an opportunity into a crisis. For Tomarket, it’s now a matter of proving that it can overcome this initial debacle and build a sustainable and trustworthy ecosystem.

Investors remain cautious, but many hope the team can learn from its mistakes to deliver real value to the Web3 ecosystem.
