Launch Coin Falls Over 30% as Developers Abandon Current Token Model

2025/10/17 21:15

The team behind LAUNCHCOIN announced it is switching to a new token design and ticker, implying that the current asset is outdated.

The price of Launch Coin on Believe (LAUNCHCOIN) sank more than 30% on Thursday, Oct. 16, after developers said they were scrapping its original model, calling it too outdated to keep up with the growing demands of the Believe ecosystem.

In an X thread yesterday, the Solana-based token launchpad said that the original design of the LAUNCHCOIN token “didn’t anticipate the long-term needs of the Believe ecosystem,” announcing an upgrade to a new token called BELIEVE.

Per the announcement, under the upgrade plan, LAUNCHCOIN will eventually be phased out after a two-week swap window, ending Oct. 29, though a final claim period remains open until Nov. 12.

After that, support for LAUNCHCOIN will cease, and all unclaimed tokens will be burned, according to the official Believe website.

Under the new plan, 17% of tokens go to contributors with a four-year vesting and one-year lock, 5% to early investors with a one-year lock, and 3% to the foundation, while any unclaimed tokens will be burned to bring the total supply closer to 1 billion, per the X thread from Believe.

First launched in January as PASTERNAK and created by Australian entrepreneur Ben Pasternak through his launchpad platform Clout, the token was later renamed to LAUNCHCOIN and Clout was rebranded to Believe to better align with the platform’s new stated roadmap to support creator-driven communities.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
