Benjamin is the Founder of Cap and DeFi Dave is the Founding Head of Growth.

Token launches are broken. Founders pay exchanges 5-10% of supply, airdrop to farmers who dump immediately, and wonder why everything goes to zero. Benjamin calls it "the conveyor belt to death." Cap is breaking the playbook: no CEX listing fees, no token airdrops, and no TVL deals paid in tokens. Instead, they're doing the first-ever Stabledrop—$12 million in stablecoins to early supporters, funded by their upcoming ICO on Uniswap.

In this episode, we cover:
+ Why the status quo token launch playbook leads to death
+ The Stabledrop: How $12M in stablecoins rewards early users
+ Cap's three rules: No airdrops, no CEX fees, no token TVL deals
+ ICO mechanics on Uniswap and who's eligible
