Why do projects avoid a 100% token unlock?

Because many projects are effectively vaporware and rely on market makers to prop the price up during vesting, keeping it artificially high for as long as possible

Sort:  

A full unlock usually signals real builders and genuine usage, yet even those projects rarely take that risk

This helps explain why meme tokens often outperform many altcoins

It was observed that past and present portfolio companies advised or invested in tend to have large locked token supplies. The advice to founders is to vest team and investor allocations 100% as soon as possible, ideally immediately

Then one of two things happens:

  1. The price collapses toward zero and stays there if no organic demand from real usage exists
  2. Or the price dips and later recovers because organic usage supports it

Ideally investors back projects that generate organic usage so returns follow in the medium run; if that fails, losses are justified

So far no founder has adopted this approach to provide a clear example. Perhaps Monad can be the first to prove the idea, if its technology drives usage strong enough to challenge ETH and SOL
