Press Release
Tortola, British Virgin Islands, December 17th, 2024
According to Ransu Salovaara, CEO of TokenBuilder and a crypto veteran since 2014, the next twelve months will be pivotal in boosting transparency for token launches and integrating AI technology into new crypto projects. Salovaara, who helped raise token sales for major names in the industry, believes 2025 will be dominated by two major trends:
Fair Token Offerings (FTOs) — A push for more reasonable valuations and more equitable access for everyday investors
AI Tokens — A major leap forward where crypto meets advanced AI agents, opening fresh opportunities for projects and investors alike
1. Fair Token Offerings (FTOs): Leveling the Playing Field
While Bitcoin’s and meme-coins’ rise dominated headlines in 2024, these trends also highlighted how rampant scams and rug-pulls remain. Meme-coins in particular saw thousands of launches, not all created equal. Private insiders often orchestrated low-float, high-valuation tactics—leaving retail investors at a disadvantage.
To counter these, TokenBuilder has pioneered an FTO Rating system, providing a transparent scoring framework for new token offerings. This rating focuses on five pillars:
- Access: Retail investor inclusion in private rounds
- Appreciation: Fair token valuations with upside potential
- Supply: At least 20% circulating supply after token launch to avoid price manipulation
- Liquidity: Early secondary market trading plans (DEX or otherwise)
- Transparency: Public, identifiable teams rather than anonymous founders
2. AI Tokens: The Next Billion-Dollar Crypto Sector
According to Salovaara, For most of 2024, AI was overshadowed by surging meme-coins and the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin ETFs. Yet behind the scenes, developers have been blending language models (OpenAI, Grog, Llama) with crypto utility.
In practice, these AI tokens will:
- Use AI-agent frameworks (like AI16Z’s "Eliza") to enable advanced, automated services
- Offer exclusive data and analytics functionalities
- Function as native payment methods for discounted or premium AI services
3. TokenBuilder’s Roadmap for 2025 and Beyond
Building on a decade of crypto experience, TokenBuilder is developing a Fair Token Offering launchpad focused on AI-driven tokens. Using on-chain sales accessible to everyone, the platform plans to offer:
- $TBAI launch on Uniswap 2nd of January 2025
- Multiple token offering methods: Fixed-price sales, Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) auctions, and more
- Multi-chain support: Ethereum, Base, and possibly other Ethereum Layer-2 networks
- AI-Powered Tools: AI-powered tokenomics analysis, compliance tracking, and advanced analytics
Conclusion
As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, TokenBuilder is committed to providing a fair and transparent platform for token launches. With the launch of FTO Calendar and AI-Agent Army, we aim to revolutionize the way token sales are conducted, ensuring a more level playing field for all investors.
