Original Title: "Can the Clanker Presale Ignite a New Wave on the Base Chain?"
Original Author: KarenZ, Foresight News
After acquiring Clanker, Farcaster decided to allocate two-thirds of the protocol fees generated by Clanker to purchase and hold CLANKER tokens. As of December 2, Farcaster has accumulated 1.8% of Clanker's total supply, amounting to 18,342 tokens.
Meanwhile, Clanker is also targeting the presale market, aiming to carve out a space for itself. The first presale will start at 1:30 AM on December 5. So, what are the specific features and innovations of this presale mechanism? According to the documents released by the Clanker development team, let's take a look.
Core Rules and Features of the Clanker Presale
Funding Goals Have "Upper and Lower Limits"
Clanker has set upper and lower limits. The lower limit is the minimum funding goal (if not reached, refunds will be issued), and the upper limit is the maximum funding goal (if reached, it will close). This way, the project team has both a funding safety net and a funding cap, giving them clarity.
7-Day Presale Period
The presale runs for a fixed period of 7 days and will automatically stop when the time is up. However, the project team does not have to wait the full 7 days; as long as the minimum goal is reached, they can choose to end it early and quickly proceed with token deployment. Additionally, if the funding amount reaches the maximum goal midway, anyone can directly terminate the presale.
Investor Protection
During the presale, if investors wish to withdraw funds, they can withdraw all or part of their invested ETH at any time. This gives investors ample autonomy and makes the risks more controllable.
Moreover, if the funding is successful, the project team can directly receive the raised ETH (though Clanker’s fees will be deducted). If the funding fails, investors can withdraw their invested ETH.
Locking and Releasing Mechanism to Prevent Dumping
Why do tokens often plummet after listing? It is often due to large holders and early participants dumping their tokens immediately upon listing. To address this, Clanker has set a mandatory lock-up period (at least 7 days), during which participants cannot sell their tokens immediately after receiving them. After the lock-up period, tokens are not released all at once but are released linearly over time, effectively preventing the market from being instantly crashed.
Token Distribution Can Be Customized
The project team can control how tokens are distributed through parameter settings. The default is 50% for presale participants and 50% into the liquidity pool, but the project team can adjust this ratio.
Supports Whitelist Mode
Not all projects want everyone to participate. The Clanker presale supports whitelist restrictions, allowing the project team to specify that only certain addresses can participate in the presale. This is suitable for project teams looking for selective funding.
Clanker Presale Process
The Clanker presale process can be briefly summarized in the following four core stages:
1. Launch Stage: The project team configures presale parameters, such as funding goals and token distribution.
2. Participation Stage:
· Users: Deposit ETH to participate in the subscription; during this stage, they can also withdraw ETH at any time (cancel/reduce investment).
· Project Team: If the minimum fundraising goal has been reached, the project team has the right to choose to end the presale early without waiting for the time to expire.
3. End of Presale: The presale can be triggered to end in the following ways:
· Time expires and the minimum goal is reached (anyone can trigger);
· The raised amount reaches the maximum goal (anyone can trigger);
· Or the minimum goal has been reached, and the project team decides to end it early (only the project team can trigger).
4. Final Settlement:
Based on the fundraising situation at the end, there are two possible outcomes:
Success: Reaching the minimum or maximum goal.
Outcome: Tokens are automatically deployed. The project team withdraws the raised ETH (after deducting Clanker fees); users receive tokens after the lock-up period ends (at least 7 days).
Failure: 7 days have expired without reaching the minimum goal.
Outcome: The presale fails. Users can retrieve their ETH.
In summary, the Clanker presale attempts to find a balance between investor protection and project team flexibility. Investors can withdraw funds at any time, receive full refunds if the funding fails, and the token lock-up period prevents dumping, effectively reducing participation risks. The project team can flexibly adjust funding strategies, customize token distribution ratios, and even end the presale early after reaching the minimum goal, greatly enhancing funding efficiency.
However, the outcome of the Clanker presale still depends on the combined performance of multiple factors—the quality and prospects of the project itself, the market's enthusiasm and recognition, and the project team's reasonable setting of rules, among others.
