Exploring the Crypto Journey
The Launch Phase
Initially, Bitcoin was mined using computers, and altcoins followed suit, adopting the same concept. Subsequently, blockchain projects leveraged ICOs, IEOs, and IDOs for their launch strategies.
- ICOs: Spearheaded a new era of crypto fundraising, but their popularity waned due to regulatory scrutiny and market changes.
- IEOs: Boosted credibility by partnering with established exchanges, offering a safer and more reliable fundraising platform for both investors and projects.
- IDOs: Allowed projects to launch directly on decentralized exchanges, democratizing access for participants and emphasizing a shift towards decentralized, community-driven approaches.
