Frame Network's Fair Launch: The Cost of Refusing Easy Money and Choosing a Public Company Structure

1d ago· 9 min readenInsight

Summary

The article explores the concept of a "fair launch" in the crypto space through the story of Frame Network. It argues that a truly fair launch means no insiders, no pre-mines, no hidden treasuries, and no private rounds giving early investors an advantage. The piece details how Frame Network spent a year refusing easy money from VCs and private investors, and ultimately turned to a public company structure as the only viable way to fund the project without compromising its fairness principles. It examines the real costs and trade-offs of maintaining a fair launch in a crypto ecosystem dominated by insider advantages.
