Following Celer Community’s ‘successful’ token sale on Binance Launchpad, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has hinted {that a} new mannequin the place BNB holders will get first dibs on new token launches could also be within the works. 


Celer Community Sale ‘Success’

Binance Launchpad concluded its third token sale for the 12 months. The project, known as Celer Community, bought out its deliberate provide of just about 600 million CELR tokens in rather less than 18 minutes.

The occasion raised a grand whole of $four million. Bitcoinist reported earlier this 12 months on BitTorrent’s ICO launched by means of Binance’s platform, which managed to lift $7.1 million in 15 minutes.

How Profitable Was The Sale Actually?

Hours earlier than the CELR sale began, Binance formally instructed customers to refresh the devoted tokens sale web page as quickly because the timer hits zero.

Many customers, nonetheless, complained that by doing so, the platform had logged them out, rendering them unable to log again in for a brief time frame. As soon as they did handle to get again onto the web page, a lot of the customers had their orders positioned in a queue and have been by no means processed.

Therefore, nearly all of those that tried to take part did not get a chunk of the extremely sought-after CELR token.

Commenting on the matter, Zhao defined that the platform “still had capacity/caching issues”, whereas reassuring that they “will keep working on it for a better experience in the future.”

Nonetheless, the outcomes communicate for themselves.

“STATS: 39003 people tried to buy, 3129 people got some. 35000 people will be somewhat unhappy,” mentioned CZ.

It’s value noting that the identical issues have been expressed by the group throughout the first two token gross sales as properly.

The Resolution? Dibs For BNB ‘Hodlers’

Instantly after the CELR token sale, Zhao hinted at a potential answer for the bottleneck drawback.

Curiously sufficient, as an alternative of accelerating server capability to deal with demand, Zhao advised one other various. One that might incentivize Binance Coin (BNB) customers to turn out to be ‘hodlers.’

“We *may* try a different approach next time, a BNB holding allocation model. Still thinking about it…”

The concept appears to be rising in reputation, as a current dialogue on Twitter is gaining momentum.

As it’s proper now, all of the gross sales launched to Binance Launchpad are explicitly accessible to BNB holders, because the tokens are solely bought with BNB. The one exception thus far has been BitTorrent’s sale, the place customers have been additionally allowed to purchase tokens with Tron’s TRX.

In different phrases, the contemplated construction must impose a further requirement, comparable to holding BNB for a sure period of time, for instance.

The primary query, nonetheless, nonetheless stays. Why not, at the start, improve server capability to deal with the growing demand?

Maybe the launchpad bottlenecks will not be a bug however a characteristic. Suppose: Apple and what they used to do with iPhones when solely choose shops acquired the brand new fashions initially, leading to lengthy queues and extra media hype.

One factor is clear, although. Since Binance Launchpad began launching gross sales, BNB has carried out splendidly, gaining round 150 % since January 1st. So incentivizing BNB token holders to ‘hodl’ in alternate for VIP entry is probably going one other (sensible) method to pump its worth.
