Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has put forward a thoughtful new framework for token launches aimed at curbing the rampant pump-and-dump schemes that plague early-stage projects, advocating for structures that reward long-term holders while severely restricting immediate sell-offs in the volatile world of Solana token launches.
Known online as Toly, Yakovenko detailed his optimal capital formation model, recommending staking incentives to benefit committed holders, releasing over 20% of tokens on day one, and imposing a full one-year unlock cliff for any investors or team allocations. He stressed avoiding unlocks at the Token Generation Event altogether, favoring airdrops to core users or fair auctions for broader, more organic distribution that minimizes concentration risks.
As toly 🇺🇸 posted on X: “If this works, I am pretty sure that the optimal formula to capital formation for early stage startups is: 1) staking for long term holders 2) day 1 tge 20%+ release of tokens 3) better to have zero investors but if you have some unlock them all 100% on the same day 1 year after…”
The proposal arrives amid fresh pain points, such as the recent White Whale memecoin crash where a major private holder dumped $1.3 million, triggering a 60% plunge and cascading sales. Yakovenko argues his approach creates stability: secondary markets can efficiently match buyers and sellers post-launch, while delayed unlocks prevent devastating early dumps that erode trust and liquidity in low-float tokens.
Broader adoption of such models could reshape Solana’s meme coin and project ecosystem, fostering sustainable growth over speculative frenzies and aligning incentives toward genuine utility and retention.
