Being a crypto founder is like being a founder of a public company - except your investors have 4 week time horizons and you're stuck in a 24/7 board meeting with them
The future of onchain liquidity looks something like this:
> Native token and stable/stable pairs managed by the foundation on a CLOB > Long-tail liquidity handled by third-party teams
This model ensures deep, reliable liquidity for core assets - without burning capital on incentive wars - while letting third parties compete to support new tokens
Hyperliquid and Sui understood this early
Newer L1s like @N1Chain are building their own CLOBs and I expect this model to become the standard going forward

> Each token launch spins up a mindshare leaderboard on Kaito > 25% of the supply is reserved for yappers > Emissions follow a log curve over a year - frontloaded to reward early momentum
Would be great for crediting original meme creators and onboarding normies too:
> Creator tags their viral meme with the right ticker > Someone launches the token for them > Creator connects wallet to Kaito and starts earning emissions immediately > Normies join in the fun by using the ticker and earning from Kaito too
