Still confused about what went wrong with Kaito’s first launchpad raise? Let me show you how it could’ve been done: Community eats first. Community unlocks first. VCs wait. That’s what @HanaNetwork did. Not hype. Not hopium. Structure. Alignment. Fairness. 👇 ⸻ ☕ Back to Espresso: Kaito’s first capital raise - Espresso - gave you: •$4M raise •$400M FDV •0% unlock at TGE •50% unlock after 12 months •On a chain with no usage, no traction, and no NFT success Retail is locked. VCs are locked. Nobody wins… except the project treasury. ⸻ 🌿 Now Look at Hana: • Raised $6M from VCs (locked 12–24 months) • Then raised $2M from the community • At $40M FDV • With 0% cliff, 0% lock - full TGE unlock • Same price as VCs, but 1 year earlier That is not just optics. That is prioritizing retail - with real mechanics. 🧠 Why It Matters: • Hana lets the community lead - not exit later • You get liquidity before any VC can dump • You get to set the price floor • You can opt-in or rotate - no cliffs, no traps This is what real alignment looks like. ⸻ Not saying Hana is guaranteed alpha or win. But at least they gave the community the first dibs. Meanwhile, Espresso asked for $4M on a chain that’s still a Figma file. ⸻ This ain’t about vibes. It’s about structures that don’t screw you. Study Hana. Remember Espresso. ☕ Mad Vincent out.
