$2.5M or $20M? Inside Intodotspace’s Controversial ICO Raise

3 min read

Intodotspace defends its $20M ICO raise, saying the $2.5M target was a soft cap and extra funds support long-term growth.

Intodotspace, a leveraged prediction market platform, has come under scrutiny after raising $20 million in its ICO.

Originally, the team set a target of $2.5 million but ended up exceeding that amount by a large margin.

The team clarified that the higher amount was not an issue and defended the decision to retain additional funds. They argued that the raised funds would be essential for building a long-term infrastructure.

ICO Exceeds Initial Target Amid Strong Demand

Intodotspace’s ICO was launched with a soft cap of $2.5 million. However, the final amount raised reached $20 million, far above the initial target.

The team explained that the $2.5 million was not a strict cap but rather the minimum needed for development. They added that the extra funds were necessary due to the high demand for the project.

The ICO’s success was driven by significant investor interest. The team saw this as a positive sign, showing a strong desire for the platform.

Therefore, they decided to accept the higher amount raised, which would help in developing the platform’s infrastructure. The funds will support the long-term buildout of the leveraged prediction market.

Despite surpassing the target, the team emphasized that the raise was a direct response to market demand.

The team will use the funds to accelerate development and expand the project’s capabilities.

Team Defends Fund Usage and Soft Cap Structure

The Intodotspace team defended their decision to raise more than the stated goal. They clarified that the $2.5 million was a soft cap, not a hard cap. The team said that $2.5 million was just the minimum amount required to start the project.

They explained that with higher demand, it was essential to scale the raise accordingly.

They further stated that the additional $13 million will be used for the project’s infrastructure.

This funding is necessary to ensure long-term growth and scalability. Without the extra funds, they said, the project would not be able to meet its multi-year development goals.

The team reassured investors that it would manage the funds transparently. It promised to spend every dollar raised on developing the platform and its features.

Investor Concerns Over Transparency and Communication

Even with the team’s explanation, some investors expressed concerns about the handling of the funds.

They questioned the clarity of the soft cap and the communication surrounding the ICO.

Some felt the team could have been more transparent about the possibility of raising beyond the initial target.

Intodotspace responded by explaining that the raise exceeded expectations due to high market demand.

They argued that such increases in ICO funding are not unusual in the crypto space. However, investors are still cautious and seek more details about the fund allocation.

Moving forward, clear communication will be crucial for the project’s success. Investors expect the team to be transparent about how the raised funds will be used.

Properly managing and communicating this will help maintain trust and ensure continued support from the community.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
