The True ICO Experience

The original ICO pitch was generally correct, the execution wasn't

The True ICO Experience
DESCRIPTION#0.1

The original ICO pitch was that anyone could get in early, on equal terms with VCs, holding tokens that tied them to the projects they believed in. What we got instead were presales clearing before retail saw anything, tokens backed by promises that rarely turned into real utility, and launch valuations set by whoever anchored first. Most people accepted it as the cost of being here, so the original idea was never wrong, the execution was. Crafts approaches the problem from another angle. Tokens are legally linked to equity through a DAO LLC and SAFE structure. Bids are encrypted end to end through Arcium's MPC network so no one sees competing commitments until the round is finalized. There's also a uniform clearing price that treats a large bidder and a smaller one the same. The tier system keeps allocation proportional instead of letting the biggest wallets soak up the round, with Bronze, Silver, and Gold each carrying their own commit cap, so the size of your bid is shaped by where you sit in this tier system rather than how deep your pockets are. This RTG is for connecting what Crafts fixes with the ICO structure. Think about your personal experiences. Maybe a raise you got into that went sideways, a project you backed early that never tied back to anything real. Move from there into connecting what Crafts does differently and why it matters to you.
