Been building a personal tool(for now), because i'm tired of all the scams, sniped tokens or so called "projects". Especially if you want to be a holder and not a gambler. And man.. taking launchpads as an example... (Clanker, streme, etc, have no idea how valuable they are from a reputation angle) 99% of the ones i encountered are scams with malicious actors having the only goal to rug. Don't know what's wrong with pons, I've seen too many tokens with criminal activity there. (bundled buys, sniped most of them, fake products) Robinhood attracted all these bad actors. Arc isn't better. Base looks good compared to them. And probably still better for builders. And i can't call myself a fan of any chain. ETH could have been my favorite, if it had low fees. Solana is gamblana. Not much to say here, maybe I need to take a deeper look if there's a builder side of it. ... And I've seen a "project" with GitHub account that vanished, probably a scam. More work needed. Be safe & always DYOR.

AI hypothesisSome launchpads on these platforms have legitimate projects and transparent operators who disagree with the 99% scam characterization.

Nobody has actually argued the other side of this one yet. That is a guess at what they’d say.

A stake locks USDC on Base for 30 days ($1–$1000). At lockup the side with more amount × time stakedwins; winners split the yield plus 10% slashed from the losing side’s principal. There is no oracle — the crowd settles it.
