TGE Is Not Just an Event - It Is the Test of the Product and Community

2026-01-13 08:31:34

Every day, there are projects rushing to press the TGE button without being truly ready. The result? Tokens are “exposed” by the market within just a few weeks.

Why Fake Promotion Can’t Save a TGE?

The harsh truth is that hype cannot replace a real product. When the TGE occurs, the market will test:

Is the tokenomics designed healthily? If unlock schedules are messy or have hidden locks, the token will sink in the first few months.
Has the product entered actual operation? A product still in beta phase will find it hard to attract long-term investors.
Is the community genuine fans or just temporary followers? A true community will support the project through peaks and valleys; a temporary community will disappear as soon as the token price drops.

Transparency and Trust Decide Everything

Successful projects are not hiding — they do the opposite. Clearly disclose about:

Token unlock schedule for each phase
How funds are used after TGE
Product development progress

This transparency is not an added benefit — it is a prerequisite. Projects intentionally obscuring these details are preparing for failure.

Delaying TGE Is It a Failure?

No. It is a smart strategy.

If a project realizes it is not truly ready — the product is incomplete, the community lacks strong commitment, or the tokenomics needs adjustment — delaying is far better than rushing to launch and then painfully watching the token plummet 80%.

A truly effective TGE is when the community, product, and tokenomics are all ready on the same train. That’s when the token not only has a price — but also has value.
