In this special series of posts continuing our Token Launch Playbook, we cover token "do's and don'ts"; the ins and outs of tokens as part of overall compensation; a new cash flow model for web3 application tokens; and the art of tokencraft.

We also share more on how to prepare for token launches, and how to structure deals involving token rights and restrictions — including how to avoid predatory term sheets.

See also the first part of this series below, which covers what you need to know before you launch a token, as well as an operational readiness checklist from token creation to custody; rules for token launches and strategies for managing risk; and more.

But in reality, there is no token playbook as much as there is no startup playbook. 
It’s all based on assumptions and hypotheses until there is real traction and confirmation.  
A token is just a catalyst but also a trap. A token launch is not successful until the whole model is sustainable and not anymore dependent on token emissions by the issuers. Few tokens achieve that equilibrium objective.

Is rule #1: “you probably don’t need a token”? 

If not, start over.
