Proof of Stake blockchains like Ethereum are currently secured by traditional validators, with single points of failure and centralizing dynamics.
Obol solves these issues with its ground breaking Distributed Validators, with major Ethereum staking protocols like @LidoFinance and @EtherFi already using Obol DVs on mainnet to secure nearly $1 billion in staked assets.

Vesting best practices for founders considering ICOs:
1/ Shorter vesting for community rounds. Reward your early adopters with more liquidity & optionality early on.
2/ Give the community better terms than VCs. Community should receive the majority of their tokens before insiders.
3/ Offer flexible vesting options: shorter vesting + higher FDV vs longer vesting + lower FDV. Let the community decide.
Some examples 👇
1/ Shorter vesting relative to prior VC rounds:
Example: $PEAQ
VC rounds: 6 month cliff with 18-24 month linear vesting
CoinList sale: 15% initial unlock with 6-month linear vesting, $333M FDV

1/ High FDV is not inherently bad.
The problem is that projects raise private rounds at one FDV, and then launch to retail at 20x higher FDV weeks later.
If retail could participate around the same price as the last VC round, everyone would be happy.
2/ For founders, this is destructive long-term.
Their brief unicorn status is followed by a brutal grind down due to:
a) Airdrop farmers selling tokens as soon as possible
b) Constant sell pressure from private markets as they unlock

1/ There is a lot of FUD going around that we would like to address head on.
CoinList is not insolvent, illiquid, or near bankruptcy. We are experiencing technical issues that are affecting deposits and withdrawals.
2/ We are upgrading our internal ledger systems and are migrating wallet addresses involving multiple custodians.
This is one of many efforts we are undertaking to offer our customers around the world better products and services while maintaining compliance.

❗️How the queue system works on CoinList:
1/ Users registered for a sale will receive an email with a link to enter the queue prior to the start of the sale.
2/ To access the link, log in to your CoinList account associated with the email address that received the link.
3/ This link (also available on your dashboard + deal page) will direct you to a url unique to your account and gives you one spot in the queue. After you pass the queue and enter the sale site, do not use your link again. Doing so will result in loss of access to the sale.
