what is the most interesting and safe way to distribute token example (erc20) so that it does not have high dumping in exchange?

Their are so many coins we saw in past that when it's list on exchange people start dumping it. In my understanding project owners can do something for price is not going down after Exchange listing
1 Don't allocated so much coins for bounty hunters
2 Donts give so much refferal bonus
3 Don't spend so much coins on marketing
4 Don't allocated so much coins for dev team
5 If possible then released bounty token after 6 months of exchange listing. But they should be declared that terms in the beginning otherwise its create fud about the project.
6 Keep updating community about latest updates
7 Choose good exchange for coin listing

So overall it's dependent on the project owners too that how they handle their community and makes community to trust their project.

The main way to avoid a high dumping rate on the exchanges is to have a project that has real substance to it, meaning by that that the concept is solid, the utility proven or clearly inferred, the project progress and deliveries contrastable, team is competent and implicated, token allocation is not excessively concentrated on team and bounties, and so on. In other words, that token holders really believe they are holding tokens that are going to have a clear price increase to holders, or personal utility at a lower price.

I have seen in the past some ICOs offering a token bonus to the ICO token purchasers if they held all/most of their token in their wallets for a certain amount of time after token distribution (same original wallet address, typically ERC-20 type tokens).

^ Usecase and real development has shown to have little effect on prices.  We have shitcoins in the top 10.  The sad truth is its really just about hype and marketing.

I am developing an educational product and I am afraid to disappoint, so I enter into so much debate about what to bring out the best, but you speak a truth  ;D

Some bounty campaigns have been managed very well wherein they distribute tokens in portions (percentages) and this keeps the participants happy as well as doesn't affect the token price much. Also, some campaigns have allocated ETH instead of their tokens to make the token price stable like Exchange Union. They offer huge amounts in ETH and till today the token price is pretty stable.

As the market today is really bad, distributing the tokens after months of listing them on exchanges won't be worth as with/without bounty programs, the token's price reduces as even investors turn to P&D.

Now projects have started swapping their tokens so I feel it's another way of helping their token's price.

I think the main reason of dump is that no one is doing the fair evaluation of the project worth. With a website and whitepaper project raises million+ dollars and in the end did not able to deliver that make value of project equal to million+ dollars. Here the dump of token starts.

Either ways the token will eventually get dump not only by bounty hunters but by even investors who gain huge bonuses on they bought tokens, I think the best way is for team to have buy back policy where the project owners buy back token after launch in that way they have all token back and then can do proper management.

5. IMO the bounty release time usually not the one that caused the price of the token down, usually it because of the investor that gaining huge bonuses.
6. yeah, more importantly, is the dev should keep updating the roadmap because if the dev does not update it maybe the investor will left and dump their coins

If you don't want a massive dumping of your tokens in exchange, you better be delay the distribution for the bounty hunters. Most bounty hunters are hungry for the tokens you might give to them. That's why it is best for you not to give the bounty hunters their tokens after the ICO was conducted, delay it a month or two.

I am sure you are talking about the dump that usually happens after paying bounty hunters!
You should not be afraid of such dump as it is not going to last for long time.
In fact, it is a good thing as you are going to get rid of them and there will remain only those who believe in your project (if it is good enough).

As it is going to be 1 or 2℅ of total supply so it won't be a big problem.

Also, you can run a buyback program or pay them in ETH.

token dumping after ICO is inevitable specially if you distribute large portion as reward for bounties
actually it shouldn't matter to your project, if you have real and solid developments
you need to build trust, by having a good future plan and completing in timely manner
if they believe your project will be successful, they will keep holding to their tokens

dev team should keep as minimal amount of tokens as possible in the beginning
periodically, use portion of your project's profit to buy back tokens and distribute as dividends
when your tokens has real function and value tied to your project,
people tend to hold it longer and its value will rise following your project's progress and success

Well for the good of the project, a team should not allow any issuance or selling of tokens either from the bounty hunter or from the investors/contributors unless the project had been working out already. Though it may take some time but it is the best way to keep the token value and.will.not be undervalued.

In some.cases marketing the token has also a way so that tokens will not get undervalued like listing it to good exchanges like binance and other top 10 exchanges. Aside from that if the team offers buy back for the coins then that would be pretty good for the tokens not to be dumped by bounty hunters and investors.

First of all you have a real and good goals. Your project must be different from others as the market has enough of projects with similar goals. Project team should be strong and reputed. And you project should be able to convince investors. Others are do not give a huge amount of bonus (investors will visit you if you have a good project). Do not provide huge amounts of tokens under referral and bounty campaigns.

First of all, it depends on the project itself. If your project is a good one, I doubt anyone will dump.
An example of good distribution can be which I have learnt from VENA bounty distribution-
Vena has decided to distribute the token after 3 months of listing although they didn't announce at the beginning. However, they are distributing in 3 phase, in each phase, participant will receive their 1/3 of the tokens. The phase is done once a month.

The most annoying mistakes developers do with there tokens is the huge presale bonuses which ultimately will drag down the token price instantly when the chance is created by token price ,the profit will be enough for all presale investors to dump

Sadly but its the sad truth happening to new projects fate nowadays. I think the devs and bounty manager conducting this airdrops should at least lock the tokens for specific time or have the strategies of locking a certain amount to control the massive dumping.

the most interesting way is to avoid free distribution,
like airdrop, avoid it so that there isn't too much dumping.
and instead of raising prices, promotions and good news must be periodically issued, at least 1 month to 2 months.

A good project will always succeed no matter how it is viewed, as long as people have trust and believe on the project and the team is determined to succeed, however I believe that the distribution pattern should be looked into in order to control dumping but I think a greater part of the dumping comes from private owners and developers who have larger part of the tokens, the 1% allocation to bounty hunters is not enough for dumping

Not distributing big amounts to hunters, or listing on bigger exchange are important factors too. But, all factors depend on the team, and if the tactic is good, it does not matter, and contrary.

You can distribute the coins half by half with some phase like once every week or every month, also if you are the project owner you can make a promotion by doing PoS, so stake the coins to get interest/profit. It's a good strategy to prevent price dumping in exchange.

I am agree, the price should be depend on the project or the developers team. If the project are worth, i am believe the price will keep survive even all bounty hunters reward distributed. Supply in market must be calculated by the team if the project are good and worth to hold

I agree. Bounty participants are not the cause of price drop mainly because tolen allocation is much smaller compared to bagholders or investors that accumulate huge amount of tokens that which may possibly cause price drop due to massive dump on exchanges. Big players tend to manipulate the market by the power of their holdings that is why it will create panic to newcomers that also posseses the said tokens.

You forgot something, lack of communication between the project and its investors.  

This might be some pointers but, as far as I observed, any token have a price crash after listing in an exchange.  Several factors affect the prices, setting aside this overspending for pre ICO marketing stuff.  One of which is, delay in development, limited exchanges thus,  limited exposure for the token.  Not enough marketing drive and ignoring investors suggestions.

If its about bounty tokens distribution, I don't think there's a way to distribute to stop dumping but it can only help reduce dumping for example by not allocating a lot of tokens for bounty, distribute token instalment, maybe in three tranches  or lock bounty rewards for certain period of time and if it's about the investors, don't give too much bonus or don't give bonus at all and most importantly do all that's necessary for the token to compete favorably on the market

All this suggestions by fellow community members holds true as a way to effectively distribute tokens and avoid sudden dumping but let me add additional insights into this matter since  I firmly believe that one of the greatest challenges for new project initiators is how to avoid the inevitable token dumping by hodlers but I think one way to minimize such occurrence is to create a quality value for the coin / token so that they may decide to hodl it for good! And the best way to give value to the token or coin is to continuously develop and improve it - the more reason for them to hold on to it. Imho. :)

when bounty hunters received their token , there is nothing else to do beside selling their tokens.they want to enjoy their reward in usd or btc after several months work for it.but if developers team devide token distribution in several stages it could prevent massive dump in market.

My first question is, is there a reason why you think by distributing tokens there should be reason for a dump.. ?? I smell a shit coin with no prospect in here

not at all, I always think we have something to learn and I'm willing to always improve, I like to debate about, with different opinions, and I think here have great thinkers, that's why I prefer the bounty doq the airdrop on project, because often in the airdrop, the member does not read much about the project and already leaves pouring, in the bounty it already does a larger work itself.

Yes, I also note that too big bonuses for investors lead to a rapid price reduction.

One of the most important tasks before distribution is to create a foundation .. Good exchange. Good community manager who constantly covers project development. It is desirable to the distribution of tokens at least have some result in the development of the project. What would investors believe and keep the coin.


I will say this so proper communication with my investors will help to keep the price and even growth.

In think in that case which project dev team can be apply some  techniques such as- definitely first of all make medium pool for bounty hunters but here must be bounty participants need to limitation, Secondly don't make payment full allocation in one time it’s should be distribute in different stage it will be very effective for price increase.               

All methods of distribution sooner or later lead to dumping. If your token is not assured with real turnover, then the fall is inevitable.
The asset must have turnovers that make a profit. Only in this case, you can ensure the save of prices on the exchanges.

Don't put to much fund on Airdrops and Bounties, that's the core principle if you don't want your token/coin get dumped immediately after listed on exchange. The safer way is conducting ICO, investor rarely dump your token in the first place.

Even with all these listed, a coin without good potentials and very strong team back up, will still dump when listed on exchange. All these can have positive effect, yes but not 100% guaranteed to curb token dumping when listed on exchanges.

i agree with the fact that if you can raise million+ dollars based on website and whitepaper, something is wrong with the industry, if it is unique idea, it should be possible, but lately there is big amount of projects similar, if not same, ideas
but dumping is starting with people that do bounty hunting for daily cash, they dump it no matter idea/project, they do not believe in it, just want cash

suppose we're talking about a 10,000,000 coin, how much do you think it's safe for the bounty?

If the coin has some value in it not all of it will get dumped. Thinking that all bounty hunters sell ASAP is wrong. Many will wait for a pump if the coin is really promising.

The exchanges on which you list your coin also matter. It all adds up to form a mixture. Your dev team, your way of distribution, how easy it is to mine or stake, what the coin is supposed to do, your communication with holders and potential buyers.

In this case, of course, I will also feel confused about how to allocate it to the bounty program. Because if too little will be very little demand. And if the allocation is too much the tendency will result in a dump at the listing in the market. Maybe from that total can be allocated 1-2% for the bounty program if in my opinion.

is a good analysis, and generally observing, the% are usually much higher by other devs, and in their perspective the rest of the supply how would it work?

Actually, bounty hunters are a group of people that normally hold the smallest percentage of token allocation so we can't really blame them. A study of the bull season will tell you bounty hunters actually have no control on the market... it's always the investors
Yeah, very true (especially those so-called influencers taking huge sums for virtually nothing)
lol..as I said earlier, investors are always to blame for everything. Bounties can be held for years but should the investors (mostly having 50%+ of tokens) spoil the market, nothing can be done to save the day!!

I think back to the project itself ... if the project develops according to the road map and is accepted by the community, the token will last and even increase. And what if it doesn't, the token will fall and have no price
Remember ... bounty hunters only hold no more than 10% of the total tokens even though a dump might happen for a while, I think investors can also make a dump price when they benefit from selling everything because of the many bonuses they get during pre-sales

There are some people making scripts and software to make the token distribution possible and very easy for the users. Here is my suggestion please contact him at telegram to get help on this mate.

Telegram him @iceman

Use custodial funds for any kind of token rewards like bounty or marketing. Give the reward on your platform an lock it for at least six months, so that people who did not participate in the sale, can't withdraw for dumping. Reducing fund allocation won't work, I have seen this before. Do not promise what you can't deliver in time, people dump when they see project failed to meet the roadmap.

Can this script or software stop dump? That's a pretty good feature if it really exists. I wish I had one of the scripts to stop some of my favorite coins dumping. By the way, probably you got him wrong, man, read it again.

I know most people still hold the fact and idea that bounty hunters are the ones who always cause dump in tokens and that drastically affects the token price. well good, in as much as some bounty hunters are really hungry, not all of them are hungry enough to dump their tokens for wearing signatures, posting and sharing contents for months and out of this tiresome stress, still decide to dump for a small penny. let us face facts here, which bounty ever or current has or is offering more than even 15% of token allocation? it rarely happens, mostly only 5% of tokens are allocated for bounty and are we saying just the 5% out of the total 100% is has much influence than the remaining 95%? To me hell no. Its high time bounty hunters get a piece of mind and concentrate on their work but I suggest project managers to pay bounty hunters in ETH or BTC to protect their tokens from being dumpped.

Usually, a drop in the price on the exchange after a coin listing is not a good sign. The project team is trying to monitor the development of their project and it should make sure that their coin does not fall so low.

Most of what is done is to provide distribution in stages, but there are a number of ways : distribution every month 5-10% of all bounty allocations so participants only get a little distribution is done by distributing appropriate tokens, but only every week or month is 10-30 the participants who get the reward, the last is to do a method that is hated by hunters which is to make lock tokens for a certain period of time.

I think distributing after listening will be good but not too long for you not to see the real dumpers(investor's) and to also have who blame. And send the bounty rewards weekly according to their name on spreadsheet, for example 250 - 300 weekly in a spreadsheet of 1000. You can try it and see how helpful it is.

I have also seen some projects choosing to list their tokens on exchanges only after they have released the final product which in effect is also a great way to reduce token dumping and should encourage token retention and accumulation instead.

well, in my very opinion, not distributing all tokens to both investors, team developers and bounty hunters is key. holding like say 50-50 with investors plus bounty hunters is very phenomenal and this prevents massive dumping. Again, when developers or project leaders put in the effort of paying bounty hunters with ethereum or any other top cryptocurrency, I think it will be a great step to prevent dumping.

You run an ICO/bounty? the latest rule that I've read is about the delay to bounty participants.
The investors is a total exception and they can dump after the distribution whenever the token gets listed to an exchange.
While the bounty participants, they are only allowed to transfer or sell after a certain period of time probably after 3-6 months.

The campaign Bounty depending on the amount allocated will not make a difference in the market, what I see today and the huge amount of bonus, this rather interferes. So not to dump, small amount for the Bounty and also for the bonus.

Project for example with 100% bonus and high dumping at the time of listing.

I don't believe that it's just distribution that cause high dumping of a coin in the Crypto market, there are many factors that could cause this and some of them are: distribution of tokens to people who never worked for it in the name of airdrop, this is one of the thing that causes major dump in the price of a token because the holders of the tokens are not people who bought it during their ICO stage but are people who received the tokens for free maybe for just following their facebook page and putting down their name in a Google spreadsheet.

i think nobody cant control many people to dont sell their token at lower price, im sorry im pick example bounty hunters, who cant stop them for selling their token at low price, because some of them need fast money, i think nobody can.

If that allocated for bounty, i think your team must be already prepared with anything that people will use from it. And actually, delay distribution will only make a lot of people fud in a project. But that is from what i see when i join some telegram channel.

Limit the structure of bonus and bounty pool. In general, many of projects allocate excessive amount of bonus and bounty pool so as to attract investors and make the project known to a large number of audiences. But it may affect in the long run and can also help dump tokens upon hitting exchanges. Another most important factor is that the project itself should be very much good and potential. If the project does not have relevant goals and strong team, it will fail in the long run.

if you are having an ico's limit the tokens for pre sale as investors would be the one who will dump the tokens.. ;D ;D if you are having a bounty campaign limit as well the distribution list..

I believe the main reason why projects can avoid dumping is having very useful and exciting products or at least promising to create it in nearest future. So a lot of people will want to invest and keep this tokens for years. Also good thing will be don't give earlier investors big bonuses, because as a rule they dump price selling this free tokens.

Ideally, if the project is fantastic and valuable plus there is a solid community built around it there will be a strong demand for the tokens the project generated and so any dumping from the bounty hunters can easily be swallowed by the demand. Realistically, this is not the scenario that happened as even the token investors can also scramble to let go of their hoard to make immediate profits especially since they are thinking that the dump is coming immediately after exchange placement. So maybe a staggered release of the tokens not just for bounty hunters but even for the investors can help though many investors may not like the scheme save the bounty hunters who have no choice. This is the problem with the crowdfunding projects introduced via ICO, STO or even IEO since many of them are start-ups unproven and have no solid track record on the market yet.

You see, anytime a project developer points accusation finger to hunters of causing dumping, it makes me first see the team behind the project as an unreasonable people which make me first judge their projects as one that would fail in future, because if they have the ability to reason far.

Most of them will realize that what they pay to hunter will be impossible to cause dump even if all the participants sell. It is just like recently that Binance lost 7000BTC and people thought it will cause dump for BTC, but in the real life, if you calculate it and compare the ratio to the total market cap of bitcoin, we will see It won’t go far in causing a dump, same as allocations for hunters are so insignificant compared to the bonuses they give to investors which is what they need to cut down.

_ Don't give a lot of bonuses to investors because some investors will sell the bonus they get at a cheap price
_ gradually distribute tokens to participants, distribution is done when the tokens are already in the big market
_ KYC to avoid scammers

I still don’t see much strategy that will effectively curb the dumping of token at this present stage, because to stop dumping, it really requires change of mentality.

Most investor’s mentality now is that all projects are just there to collect money and have nothing much to offer, so all they just do is also to use the project to make little money when they enter exchange.

Any investor now, is solely going for profit on his investment the moment they enter exchange, no matter how little it is, and this is what usually cause dumping, so in order to effectively correct this, it means the product must really have a solid product that is self-convincing. This is the only way they can believe in the future of the project and not dump.

Balance everything that you will giveaway,if youre planning to pay bounty hunters here on forum limit the funds youll gonna spend dont waste too much because they are the one who can easily dump.Balancing distribution will help your coin not to get dumped easily

The way to anticipate the price to remain stable when entering the stock exchange is that the project owner must divide in several exchanges during the launch. Don't make it in just one place, at least to limit bounty hunters, to delay their sales. But if the project has a bright future, it will certainly make them regret when selling on the first day of launch on the exchange.

Don't pay every advisor, freelancers, workers with your tokens.

Don't give a huge amount of bounty.

Don't offer private investors crazy amount of bonus.


If you do three of this, your token won't get dumped.

my analysis, which suppose it will be 10,000,000 (millions) of supply is 3% intended for bounty, does anyone have something to debate about?

One other way i think should help preventing the dump of tokens especially right after listing is to ensure the purpose behind creating such a project is clearly stated out. Know this if a coin truly has the capacity to make the future everyone of us looking ahead to with crypto, then, no matter how people may dump, it's gonna come up again.

Knowing how to prevent dump prices on exchanger especially in bounty that is already done and listed on exchangers is the correct allocation or sufficient allocation for bounties that appear to be known when the allocation is large a bounty and campaigns know that the largest allocation in a bounty's campaign makes dump exchangers so they should pay attention so that would not panic sellin others to the sale immediately with their token the holders should keep calm so that they will not affect the price and will not lose a lot of cheap sell.

One thing I see as challenge is the the number of circulating coins and other bonuses that are given to investors, these should be checked and also I think bounty hunters should not  be paid at once installment will do.

I don't have a solution to your question as all seem to give same result still and there is nothing anyone can do about it ,the most plague one is erc20 tokens they lose values real quick simply because many projects either fake or real seem to favour erc20 block chain the most maybe its because its easier to use?

If you are referring to the distribution of bounty hunter, the best way is lock token and unlock each part in a long time,

There are possible ways for you to prevent dumping after Bounty distribution.
- Don't ever hold Bounty tokens for months without distributing it to Bounty hunters. That will probably almost kill the price.
- Before distribution, make sure you list the token/coin on about 5 good exchanges. (you guys probably raised some funds, use it for the community)
- Give Bounty hunters reasons to hold your coins/tokens.

Good team, a good project that is scientific and technologically relevant to the need of the present day will always perform well regardless of the airdrop, or bounty. Whenever I am airdropped good token, I either buy more or just hold, I do advise some of my community members to invest in the project, however with discretion.

I think that the most effective way to freeze some of the coins and allocate for sale about 50% of the coins. If after the completion of the sale of coins, not everything will be sold out, the remaining coins are best to burn, so that the rate does not collapse. And the most important thing is the demand for the project and its prospects, only the best projects will be interesting for purchase and approved for listing on popular exchanges.

i believe in this tread almost people will blame bounty hunter.
yeah, bounty hunter always get blamed when token price go dump, but not always like that.
what the bounty prize it juts 2% and how can 2% will make a dump market.
please don't always blame us.

Pump and dumps are illegal in regulated crypto exchanges, except the unregulated fields that creates the chance for these people to pump and dump any coin of their choice. I don't think there is any way you can stop these pump and dumpsters, they will always be able to penetrate in and do their work and escape with it and the reason for this is because the crypto market is not being regulated.

So they don't have to worry about the authorities catching them. If cryptocurrency is being regulated, then they will all be caught easily. I only mercy for the investors who fall victims. But anyone can still take advantage of these pump and dumps if they are smart enough.

Probably private sale is the most suitable option if your main goal is to avoid a large drop in prices.

Although I don't recommend it because I'm also a bounty hunter, I guess distribute the coin one month after listing, like what Bitmillex has been doing, they are not yet distributing it because they are still in the process of listing the coin, lock the token after the distribution for 2 to 3 months like what Liker is doing now.

I think token should be partially distributed. First tokens receive investors and those who have invested their own funds in the development of the project. As soon as the price stabiliziruemost to give awards to the bounty hunters. In the future, project organizers can redeem some part of coins from bounty hunters. And the rest coin to leave in free trade. Then the drop in the price of the coin will be minimal.

These are too perfect conditions and only some of them are true.
1. Token distribution: you can try to limit the distribution of tokens to the project team and bounty hunters (although their share is very small). But this does not guarantee that one of the investors will not become MM and will not manage the token market;
2. Product/idea: to keep the interest in the project after the ICO/IEO, you need a really popular or revolutionary product. It can be a blockchain smartphone, a blockchain with a million transactions per second, an application in the IoT (I do not specifically name the projects);
3. Community support and advertising.
And such as we understand can provide only a few projects.

It is quite difficult to avoid this, because it is difficult to understand what expectations people have about your product and your idea.

It's easy if you want to avoid the dumping, all you need just a brilliant concept and you need to get a good partnership with big company. So every investor will interest with your coin.

If what you mean is distribution for bounty hunters, you can distribute it via percentage every month you can do 30% distribution every month, but if it is investor's shares then you have no recourse but to distribute right away, if you have a good project and you think it will have a support of the investors, there's no need to worry about distribution.

Are we talking about bounty / airdrops? Well, Locking up the tokens for long period of time and distributing gradually is better way to avoid dumping, Also incentivising for holding the token can make people not to dump heavily.

If you are talking about a bounty distribution you have it all wrong. By making a bounty you basically ask people to spent time and creativity to promote your project. This is a marketing plan and you HAVE to pay for this. I hope you realize that this is an actual job and participants want to be paid according to the effort they put on the bounty.

There are projects that understand this and pay the bounty hunters in BTC or ETH instead of their own coin, just to avoid any price dumping. Projects that are decent and get listed at a good exchange don't have any problem with bounty hunters getting paid with their tokens and instantly selling on exchanges.

personal, after market research and respondents, I have been working and studying tips and guidance I received from the entire community on a token where I correct other errors from other already existing ones, so I developed a low-supply token 9,900,000, and put practice all the tips that you gave me, I want to thank you very much for everyone involved, I have a great affection at all, today the token is listed at:

https://www.finexbox.com/market/pair/TRC-BTC.html (https://www.finexbox.com/market/pair/TRC-BTC.html)

as you can see it did not have, it looks like it keeps on exchange, so far no dumping.

staff are still surprised by the tips, the currency has not suffered any dumping so far!
