A novel approach to ICO structure is gaining traction—one that addresses persistent pain points in token launches. The model ties token allocation directly to vesting timeline selection, marketed as 'Initial Weight Offering'. Here's the hook: those committing to extended lock-up periods secure better entry valuations. It's a straightforward incentive structure that aligns holder commitment with pricing mechanics.

Is there a new trick again? Locking tokens to buy at a lower price. What new concept can be washed out this time... Wait, isn't this logic just a reverse pump mechanism? Why do I feel like I'm about to get cut again? Sounds good, but I still have to ask, who guarantees that the token price won't directly drop to nothing during the lock-up period? This thing is just gambling. If you insist on packaging it as some kind of incentive mechanism... I've already fallen for it three times. It seems a bit promising, but be careful of the pitfalls inside.

It's the same old story of locking tokens for discounts. Sounds good in theory, but what about in practice? Early players have already been cut once.

The longer you lock your tokens, the cheaper the price? This trick still feels like the old routine, just with a different name.

Another lock-up for a cheaper price? Sounds good, but who can guarantee there won't be a dump later?

From the perspective of computing power revenue ratio, this locking incentive mechanism essentially prices the liquidity premium in reverse. Long-term holders' ROI curve will indeed be more gradual but more stable.

The longer the lock-up period, the cheaper the price. This logic is essentially a disguised discount coupon... but it can indeed filter out some short-term traders.

Wait a minute, is this just the old trick of changing names? The longer the lock-up period, the cheaper the price. Isn't this just shifting the risk onto retail investors?
