Tong Station, a Telegram crypto project, is launching at a low valuation of $7.5 million FDV, aiming to attract a genuine community rather than bots. This strategy contrasts with other crypto projects that have launched with high valuations and airdrops generating large rewards for many bots, while offering a more controlled and sustainable approach for growth.
Low Valuation Launch Strategy
• 00:00:15 Tong Station is planned to launch at a low valuation of $7.5 million FDV to avoid attracting many bots and instead focus on fostering a community of genuine users. This strategy is seen as a healthier way to launch a token compared to previous projects like Hamster Combat that had massive airdrops and attracted a large number of bots. The speaker believes that this approach is more sustainable for long-term growth.
Community Building & Token Distribution
• 00:00:42 By offering smaller airdrop rewards (around $50-$150), Tong Station aims to filter out bots and reward dedicated users who are likely to stick around and support the project. This also presents an opportunity for those who missed the airdrop to join at a low valuation. This approach facilitates community building and provides an opportunity for token holders to participate in the project's potential growth.
