According to Cap Founder Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, “Token launches are a conveyor belt to death.”
Founders too often pay exchanges 5-10% of their supply for listings, airdrop tokens to farmers who dump immediately, and spend runway on TVL deals that never pay off. They're also somehow expected to buy it all back at 10x the price. It's insanity—doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
But Cap is tearing up the playbook in this industry and doing things differently.
No CEX listing fees. No token airdrops. No TVL deals paid in tokens. Instead, they're doing the first-ever Stabledrop: $12 million in stablecoins going to early supporters, funded by their upcoming ICO on Uniswap.
The announcement above offers all the necessary detail on this Stabledrop including who earned stablecoins and how much based on points.
In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, we cover the backstory behind the Stabledrop and what went into the final calculations to reward Cap users. Benjamin and Cap Head of Growth DeFi Dave break down why stablecoins eliminate uncertainty for everyone, how the economics actually work when you believe your token will go up, and why 2026 might finally be the year founders realize they have agency to do things differently.
