Some thoughts on @standard_rsv, because this one is hard to ignore, atleast not after i witnessed the success and downfall of OHM. But asides from that one the best strategy I used to sniff solid projects is simply by following smart reputable accounts that has consistently delivered value to this industry for years. Let's talk about the launch, most launches ask you to buy a story. This one is closer to a bank charter than a mint. That distinction is the whole reason I looked twice. The design premise is simple: OHM didn't fail because the idea was bad, it failed because the printer had no brakes. Standard's whole bet is that issuance should answer to something real, not a schedule. Net ETH flow through the hooked ETH/$STANDARD pool decides the rate. ETH in, issuance eases and fees build reserve. ETH out, issuance cuts and fees buy back and burn. The system defends itself before it tries to be generous. That ordering is rare in this space. But then again, what actually convinced me wasn't the marketing, it was this line from the team: "we believed in the idea enough that we were prepared to bootstrap the entire protocol and fund the initial liquidity ourselves, we have put almost $100k into the project already." Not "we raised." Not "market makers will handle it." They funded the first pool themselves. If you have been following me for long, you'll know this is the type of team i promote, same reason we were bullish on hyperliquid. Back to the main topic, structurally, a Charter is a seat, not a collectible. Soulbound, one per wallet, it burns if you leave. Yield lives on Branches attached to the Charter, one to ten of them, not on the NFT art itself. Growth comes from buying expansion licenses in $STANDARD token, and those burn on use, so the mechanism that grows your position is the same one shrinking supply. Exiting means retiring a Branch. You can't harvest and keep the machine running. Go quiet for 30 days and anyone can report you. None of this is built to be generous to passengers. For anyone trying to understand the mechanics without wading through the whitepaper: What do you mint? A Founding Charter, 1,000 total. A license to run a bank and receive issuance, not the token itself. Who gets paid at mint? LP and vaults. Team's cut of the 0.15 ETH fee is zero. Where's the yield? On Branches, scaled to how many you hold per Charter. What happens if you go idle? 30 days and you're flaggable. The system isn't built to carry dead weight. For the record, launch details for Sept 14: • WL window: 5:30 to 8:30 PM EST • 0.15 ETH liquidity fee • Leftover spots go Dutch, 1.25 down to 0.15 • Trading opens after, with a decaying 90% anti-snipe tax • Emissions start with the market • 100 Branch auctions on day one • Extra Charter auctions stay off at launch Thickening the pool before thickening the banker set is a sequencing choice most teams get backwards. Why I'm showing up: I'm tired of protocols that only know how to be generous when things are calm. This one was designed around the assumption that people panic and exits get expensive. New Charters re-slice the pie instead of printing a bigger one, and the people who stay are the ones who benefit from that. That's the first design in a while that reads like it was built by people who expect to be tested, not people hoping they never are. Lastly, I know how much scammers try to take advantage of the hype that comes with this type of launch, follow only @standard_rsv @0xbeans for any authentic information you need. Good luck everyone and as usual, see you on the side that prints.
