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.

"Thanks for the comprehensive guide! It's essential for investors to have a clear understanding of token launches. Looking forward to exploring the insights and best practices shared by @a16zcrypto."

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.
