🤯 99% of Crypto Projects DON’T Need a Token!

Here's Why They're Still Thriving Without One!

Did you know that 99% of crypto projects don't actually need a token to succeed? Look at Base, Arbitrum, LayerZero, and Wormhole (before their token launches) - all fantastic, fully functioning products. In fact, Base is still thriving without a token!

But wait, there's more nuance to this story!

Sure, there are strong arguments for having a token - decentralization, governance, bootstrapping, liquidity, and community building are all important factors. However, from a retail perspective, it's crucial to understand that these often come secondary to a simpler principle: raising capital and extracting profits is much easier with tokens than with traditional revenue models.

Many crypto products wouldn't be able to raise funds or build at all if it weren't for this dynamic, as they wouldn't be profitable enough through revenue alone.

So, do these products NEED tokens to function?
No.

But does the industry rely on new tokens to innovate?
Absolutely.

There are some downsides, like retail extraction through private to public market arbitrage, token dilution, and liquidity fragmentation.
However, the big pro is that more innovation happens because teams can raise capital to build, and developers are incentivized to create new products and dApps.

I'd love to see more infrastructure products introducing dynamic token utilities, similar to what we've seen in the DeFi market. Regulation may limit this, but it's a fascinating topic that impacts value accrual.

What do you think?
Makes sense?
