Trove just locked in a $2.5M raise at a $20M FDV. Here's what stands out:
No vesting on ICO tokens—clean entry for early participants. The points system stacks on top, letting holders claim additional allocations. They're running an overflow model, so it's first-come mechanics with anti-whale safeguards.
On the product side, they've spun up 10 markets on testnet already. USDH pairs are live. What's interesting here is the market mix—some themed experiments (think creature-based derivatives) that might actually hit product-market fit. The tokenomics structure suggests they're not just chasing hype; they're testing where real trading volume pools. Early testnet velocity usually signals what sticks post-launch.

No vesting sounds so cool, but is the overflow model's anti-whale mechanism reliable...

No vesting? What's the point of early entry? This logic seems a bit counterintuitive.

Daring to play like this without vesting, really has guts. The biological derivatives approach feels like gambling on PMF, but it sounds okay...

No vesting, just start directly, this operation is okay. The point system stacks distribution, and the anti-whale mechanism is also thoughtful... But the question is, can those 10 markets on the testnet really take off? The biological derivatives sound a bit fancy, I hope they really hit the PMF.

Vesting is indeed attractive, but this kind of operation also easily attracts vampire farmers. When that happens, the liquidity pressure will really be significant.
