Token launchpads need successful tokens/projects to launch on their platform in order to attract more creators and users Having good distribution is a key value prop of any token launchpad. Distribution is hard, especially onchain. Building up community is one way to bootstrap distribution and I think this is a large part of what has made @clanker successful. @proxystudio.eth had built up a community of people who were active onchain participants then built products for that community to use (hypersub community, proxyswap, clanker). This initial community was essentially beta testers for various onchain products and experiments. I don't believe clanker would be successful without this initial community who were happy to spend money and speculate to try out various onchain experiments. Many of the projects that have launched on Clanker came out of this community. (1/2)

How do you think this fits in with what Zora has been doing with “cointent”, as compared to what we’re seeing with clanker as a community token launcher?

I think they're different things with the same format (ERC20s) Content coins will likely be valued differently than a community token or a memecoin or a project token. Today the market generally compares all of these tokens against each other without much nuance but maybe that changes over time. I think that launchpads may end up serving different use cases and value props which would come with different business models / fee structures
