LowFDV Community Offering (LCO)

The LowFDV Community Offering (LCO) model is PAID's answer to the flawed, high-FDV fundraising systems. LCOs launch projects at realistic valuations with fair access for all participants, creating sustainable growth instead of quick flips.

What is a LowFDV Community Offering (LCO)

A LowFDV Community Offering (LCO) is a fundraising mechanism that ensures genuine upside for retail participants by launching projects at fair valuations.

Key features of the model

• Ultra-Low FDV - Projects launch at reasonable valuations while traditional IDOs suffer from high valuations

• Better pricing for all participants - Fair access for everyone versus VCs getting private round discounts

• Capped allocations per participant - Maximum allocation limits prevent whale dominance

• Gradual token unlocks for price stability - Smart vesting schedules versus extreme volatility due to low float

What this achieves

• Fair Market Entry - Backers enter at ground-floor valuations, not inflated prices

• Broad Distribution - Tokens spread across hundreds of participants, not concentrated in a few wallets

• Aligned Incentives - Vesting ensures teams and backers work toward long-term value

• Sustainable Growth - Projects build genuine communities instead of farmers and airdrop hunters
