It would be great if unsold token will be burned. With this strategy, total supply token will reduce a lot and perhaps the price will increasing when landed on exchanger. But developers team must be have their own strategy if they not burn unsold token, maybe for project development

another strategy was unsold token used to airdrop or loyalty program for token holder.this strategy very effective to make price stable.holder and investors usually prefer hold their token till this program launched.

Indeed, with loyalty program, holder get reward if can hold like developers team want. Its true effective because with loyalty program, its like developers team guarantee the project will run and produce a good product. If used for airdrop, maybe anothers dumpers.

Although the highlighted options are the only thing that can be done to unsold token. But the best is still that the team should burn it, with these investor will have a clear mind about the project likewise this will prevent stability of token price.

Hi,

I've been reading about the strategy ICOs use for unsold tokens in case they do not reach their hard cap.

As far as I understand, there are a few options to be used for this scenario.

1) Unsold tokens are burned - the most common option used by ICOs. If tokens are burnt, token holders share will increase, therefore its price.

2) Unsold tokens are not burned - founders keep them. It's not a good option at the eyes of the token holders. It can be used as a personal interest.

3) Unsold tokens are airdropped - A few ICOs (eg. FundFantasy) used this strategy. As far as they see it, the token price will be decreased but will be readjusted because people will use it.

I'm not aware of any more alternatives to those three. What are your thoughts? Would you use option 1 or go for the other two options? Would you come up with another possibility?

Thank you very much.

option one seems very reasonable to do considering if you are protecting the investors who had invested in your ICO, by burning those unsold tokens, dumping will be prevented and also the demand for that token will increase and therefore price of it will go up too, but this will happen only if the team had a good marketing and people were really into it, the hype should live up to the demand and needs of the people to that project or product.

If i am investor in ICOs, i will choosing burning unsold token. Its good for the price and reducing supply in market. But if used for development the project or for marketing, i think its good.

Many developers team keep unsold token and lock it for months or 1 years. Its not good investor because total supply still large and its profitable for developers team because when market start increase, they can dump it and can hurt the price

For a while now, just for the sake of increasing the value of the token in the long run while making it rare and as long as the demand for a crypto asset and its overall demand increases, obviously, the growing volume would help increase the value in the long run if the unsold tokens were burned.

Nonetheless, burning a token does not simply mean or make it a guarantee that the value of the remaining token will increase as that is simply always dictated anyway by supply and demand but for a demanded coin, burnt unsold tokens, would just make the available ones in supply to increase in value quickly.

I am agree that burning token will not increasing the token price automatically. Its depends on the product or project. If the project works and market confident with this token, i am believe the price will increase even the token not burn. Burn unsold token is one factor to make price increase

I usually heard from several ICO's they burned the unsold token, but i think not all ICO will increase their token value once they burn some of it. I think its till depend huw usedful their token and how utility it is.

By my opinion unsold tokens are coming to nothing. The situation shows that a holder should to sell tokens right after they appear on an exchanger or he will stay with coins that cost nothing and the time which was plspebt for token making will be worfless.

Mostly, for what is happening for the unsold token was they burn it. Why? of course to remain stable the price of their token.
Actually, the more they burn the token there is big chances for the coins to increase its value in the future. This is what I know about this kind of burning token if it is unsold.

Many unsold tokens are usually burned so as not to affect existing tokens, that's what I know. The supply must be in accordance with the request so it can run and have a price.

many good projects do that, by burning unsold tokens, of course, it will add to the quality of the project, so that investors will still be fully supportive. if the project does not do this, of course this will reduce the price of the token, so that investors seem to be harmed. but unfortunately not all projects do that, many even run away with investor funds

the value of unusable tokens are not in a good stage that's why we are still holding them for the future but holding useless tokens are not a good way make some other more to get the profit from other type of investment tell me the right way to take the next step.

Yes the token is not sold according to the maximum amount it will be burned because the value is very low on the market. if saved because the amount is limited there is a possibility that the value will increase.

There are selfishness in 3 choices there. If we choose the # 1 option, the business will definitely have to spend more to buy back its token number. => businesses lose a lot of money.
If we choose option 2, investors will suffer losses because too many tokens are used. => investors have mixed opinions and do not want to cooperate.
If we choose option 3, it will take a lot of time and will delay the progress of the project and this choice is still not beneficial for investors.
Whether a good project depends on founder. if they are a genuine founder, They will know what they do to be good for investors and businesses. Wink

I just feel that burning tokens will be a very good thing for further development. because it will be more awake with existing funds. many ICO teams use things like this to maintain the quality of their prices in accordance with the funds they collect. but after all each team has its own strategy, it is only my personal choice.

I will holding with my unsold token, we can't do anything because this ICO was failed and scam, how ever when an ICO have unsold token we will get refund of our money have purchase to buy and invest at their ICO project.

Unfortunately no ICO can be refunded and in case any ICO become scams or the coins are not in exchange, we can only wait as there is no other option. No one will be willing to buy these useless tokens / coins from us.

The Lesson to learn from this is that we should be very careful in investing in the ICO. We should study the project thoroughly before taking any decision for the investments in ico.

still hold, there will definitely be a time when the token will soon be launched into the market exchange. if you are impatient, do you want to send your token to my wallet? certainly not right? because you get it from the results of hard work.

we are here talking about the context of tokens that do not sell well. that the token that doesn't sell should be what? of course it must be burnt or there will be a notice of distribution to each holder to be fair between the team and the investor
