Full visibility on all terms, from initial angel rounds to the final OTC deal.
The current trajectory makes it seem like our destiny is sealed—there’s no turning back, and we must make a choice.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
To steer the industry toward a sustainable future, all it takes is some creativity and a committed group from the silent majority collaborating for change with courage and long-term thinking—the very principles that BorgPad stands for. We’re here to offer founders a fresh, efficient way to design their TGEs.
In many ways, we’ve come full circle and realised that the ICO days weren’t as bad as they seemed. We believe that the current trend of focusing on meme coins and abandoning ‘tech coins’ or ‘utility tokens’ isn’t the core issue. Meme coins have highlighted the exploitative practices that have persisted since the last bull run, helping to catalyze necessary changes. They are a form of digital revolt, but they aren’t the solution—they’re just part of it.
Meme coins have their place as an asset class, and we believe they deserve to exist. However, by design, meme coins lack commitment—and the future can’t be built without commitment. Just as a nation can’t evolve if its people don’t commit to each other and form families, the industry can’t grow sustainably without dedicated participants. How long can a nation survive if everyone remains perpetually unattached? Single forever, jumping from one-night stand to the next?
Creating the next generation is crucial to the evolution of any community. It can be enriching to have low-commitment groups within this space, but they can’t dominate without threatening the long-term viability of the ecosystem
So, what is the #BetterThanCEX philosophy?
It’s the belief that we can combine the best elements of meme coins—like prioritising the community through fair launches—with the strengths of utility tokens, which provide long-term value that the space can build upon. After all, what would the crypto space, or even meme coins, be without the invention of ERC-20? While competition is healthy, we’re still the outsiders in the silicon valley Web2 world, and collaboration remains our best chance for growth and making Web3 the reality we want.
