Securing funding remains a major challenge for crypto projects. In 2023, 60% of projects shut down due to liquidity shortages (cryptoNews), exposing flaws in early-stage models that prioritized VCs over broader, sustainable growth. Despite evolving fundraising methods, new challenges continue to emerge.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering)

  • Issues: High scam rates (~80% failure or fraud rate), regulatory uncertainty, and investor protection gaps.

IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)

  • Goal: Increase credibility through exchange due diligence.

  • Issues: High listing costs, continued centralization, and information asymmetry.

Venture Capital (VC) Model

  • Goal: Provide large early-stage funding and strategic support.

  • Issues: Limited access for retail investors, VC-driven market distortions, and value misalignment.

Pump.fun

  • Goal: Simplify token creation and enable trend-based launches.

  • Issues: High volatility, rampant speculation, low project longevity, and investor risk.
