2025 Crypto Wrapped: The Resurgence of ICOs
The crypto fundraising landscape is shifting fast. As regulatory frameworks become more accommodating—think major compliant platforms entering the space—and blockchain infrastructure keeps leveling up (layer-2 solutions, improved DEX mechanics), ICOs are making a comeback. But they're not your 2017 wild-west version.
What's changed? The old FCFS (first-come, first-served) frenzy is out. Instead, we're seeing "alignment-based" distributions take center stage—projects now prioritize supporters who actually align with their vision.
The real innovation? New allocation mechanisms leveraging social reputation systems and on-chain scoring. Your activity, history, and engagement become part of the equation. It's fairness meets meritocracy, baked into the protocol itself. This shift rewards genuine community members over bot farms and snipers.
Fundamentally, this reflects crypto's maturation: from "move fast and break things" to sustainable, inclusive fundraising models.
