Topic: How do crypto projects get funding? (Read 214 times)

As it was mentioned. There are plenty of ways such as private funding. This is the most easiest way for a project to gain funds. Even the project havent started yet. There are somw who gain interest to offer some money in order to support a start up project provided they get the fund with a lower seed price. This is the most risky of all since werent sure whether the platform would go live and could return their investment or luckily earn some profit from it.

ICO
The most well-known form of crypto is Initial Coin Offering (ICO). An ICO is a place where a project is created to raise funds by selling their own crypto asset tokens.

Basically, each token is a block chain that is similar to or equal to a share in a stock that is open to the general public - so you can make a comparison that an ICO is another variation of an Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Crypto projects can also raise funds through a Security Token Offering (STO), Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) or Initial Dex Offering (IDO).

STO
STOs are slightly different from ICOs. Securities tokens represent investment contracts that are the subject matter of investment assets, such as stocks, bonds, funds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Securities tokens have many advantages because financial regulators regard them as securities. The high level of security makes it very popular among investors.

IEO
IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is an alternative to ICO where project tokens are sold directly through a crypto asset exchange. Unlike ICOs, IEOs are not open to the general public and any user wishing to purchase the token must do so through an Exchange account.

IDOC
IDO (Initial Decentralized Offering) is very similar to IEO, but IDO is on a decentralized Exchange.

Investing in projects is risky in any case, no matter how the fundraising for it takes place. No one guarantees that the team of a seemingly already launched and well-oiled project will not end up being scammers who raised investors' money for an ideally excellent project and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I think you already mentioned all, of the common and most used methods to get funded, But sometimes crypto projects are just self-funded, and sometimes from VC or Venture Capitalist or from the private individuals, then the common practice the offerings. But for the safety, of funds, I will choose the IEO method if it was done on a trusted exchange like Binance.

Private investors, I see some projects before that doesn't look for public funding they just post here their ANN thread and they have their own private investors. Those kind of project I think are most likely become successful since they have a private investor meaning the project is really good (in my opinion). So here's the other way the projects get funding, I'm not sure if there's other way.
