Price Outlook & Risks -
- Upside Potential
# Binance listing and exposure would generate a strong initial price run-up.
# Mid‑to‑long term value may be catalyzed by growing adoption of secure, decentralized messaging—especially token-gated communitie.
- Potential Drawbacks
# Only ≈20% supply available at launch; remaining tokens unlock over time (team, community reserve), which may dilute price.
# As per some analysts, worst‑case scenario presupposes weak uptake, price may drop to \$0.03–\$0.05, whereas optimistic projections predict \$0.15–\$0.25 short‑term, and \$0.40 by the end of 2026, with the possibility to grow to \$1 if widely adopted.
