I have spent the last year advising teams on token mechanism engineering. Two weeks ago, I made a proposal to a team Iā€™m advising for achieving a super fair distribution of its tokens. It incorporates years of learnings from being part of DAOs.

Fair launch already exists. How did you do anything different?

What do you define as fair launch? Btw actually I hate the term fair launch and now I feel terrible that I used that word in my tweet. I should have said equitable. Btw whatā€™s fair for you might not be fair to me or vice versa. Fairness is subjective!

No. There is a literal ā€œfair launchā€ distribution model that is used in the majority of SAFTs.

Fair launch is marketingā€¦ What is that literal ā€œfair launchā€ that you are referring to with the majority of SAFTs? Any doc to read?

A "fair launch SAFT allocation" refers to the distribution of tokens through a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT) where the allocation of tokens to investors is considered equitable, meaning there's a balanced distribution amongst early-stage backers, usually with a focus on preventing any single entity from gaining an overly significant portion of the total token supply, aiming to create a more level playing field when the tokens are eventually released to the public market. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/simple-agreement-future-tokens-saft.asp#:~:text=from%20the%20issuer.-,The%20Bottom%20Line,author%20does%20not%20own%20cryptocurrency.

Key points about a fair launch SAFT allocation: Limited access: Typically, only accredited investors can participate in a SAFT round, which helps ensure that the tokens are not concentrated in the hands of a few large players. Vesting schedule: To further promote long-term commitment, the allocated tokens are often subject to a vesting schedule, meaning investors can only access a portion of their tokens over a set period of time. Token price structure: The price per token in a SAFT is usually set at a discounted rate compared to the public launch price, incentivizing early investment. Clear terms and conditions: A well-structured SAFT clearly outlines the token allocation, vesting schedule, and other important terms to ensure transparency and fairness for all investors.

Thank you for sharing, Iā€™m very aware of all of this I myself were my investor hat through some investment DAO. This is what Iā€™m referring to when I say what some consider fair others donā€™t. This definition of ā€œfair launchā€ that you just shared with me is just marketing slop and not really thought out for community first approach but investor first approach.
