Project builders need more than capital injections.
They need runway. They need believers who won't flip tokens at the first pump. They need real users, not mercenaries.
That's where Initial Wrapped Offerings flip the script.
VC money comes with a countdown timer and quarterly check-ins. IWOs? They attract people who lock tokens because they're betting on the actual product, not just the next exit multiple.
Different incentives. Different outcomes.

NGL, this logic sounds pretty good, but it still depends on whether the team is reliable. It’s true that VCs burn through money quickly, and even those who are truly committed and have their tokens locked up can still rug pull.

iwo sounds good, but the real question is who the hell can resist the temptation of the first pump

Locking up tokens is really the best way to filter out true believers, while the VC model is just a ticking time bomb.

To be honest, the IWO model really woke me up. The VC model should have been phased out long ago.
