Why Bear Markets are the Perfect Time to Build Standard-Setting Projects Just Like VLaunch

The world is currently in a state of centralized (and decentralized, most would claim) economic turmoil — and that is rightfully something to be concerned about.

After having teetered on edge of ATHs, we have now headed over the crest and are descending into an undeniable bear market.

However, this is no time to panic. If you’ve done your due diligence, you’ll know not to be distracted by short-term movements. And if you believe in your cause (as well as in crypto) then you will be confident in reversals down the line.

Why Double Down in Times of Uncertainty?

By double down, we don’t necessarily mean purchasing lots of ETH or BTC while the prices plummet to more and more attractive price points. While this may indeed be an astute strategy for long-term HODLers, nobody is quite sure how low prices will go (or how long they will stay there) so we do not recommend doing anything that makes you financially unstable.

We are talking about building new and advancing existing projects with even greater intensity while the value of the market descends.

For even though it may at first seem counter-intuitive, a bear market provides the perfect point in time for progressive projects to establish their footing and begin to build out.

The shills are gone, outsourcing is cheaper, a sense of stability is easier to achieve — and you don’t have to make as much noise for the true decentralized believers to take notice of what you’re doing.

And it is with this ironclad mindset that VLaunch not only continues to operate but is in fact ramping up the development of our market-first influencer-backed launchpad — while much of the rest of the world runs around like headless chickens…

Next on the Agenda

Our team is surging ahead with full focus on the functionality and integration of the VLaunch launchpad within the next state of the Web3 landscape. We are confident in our project, backed by a fantastic global community and have a clear roadmap that defies short-term market hiccups.

Each day that we wake, we focus on 3 key elements:

  • Improve the product
  • Increase community incentives
  • Increase desirability of our offering

How are we going about achieving those? By conducting groundbreaking work in the following areas…

Improving the Launchpad

If you’ve been following along the journey of VLaunch thus far, you’ll know exactly what our goal is: to build the most engaging and easy-to-use influencer-powered launchpad for Web3 and NFT projects of all scales and genres.

Nothing here has changed.

In terms of current platform improvements, we have some extremely exciting new features that we are working on right now and will be announced in the official 2023 VLaunch Roadmap, to be released in January 2023.

You can expect far more than project launches (though we do have some unbelievable ones in the pipeline).

The newest iteration of VLaunch will bridge the real and virtual gaps in our community at present, providing a unified, dynamic space for engagement that will propel partnered projects to their fullest potential.

And we cannot wait to share it with the world.

Expansion of Launchpad Offerings

By becoming the world’s first influencer-backed Web3 launchpad, we’ve already shaken up the decentralized state of play. But we want to go further and truly redefine what a launchpad can do and stand for.

We are reaching beyond Web3 projects (though these shall always remain the founding focus and community backbone of VLaunch) and meeting with some inspiring figures about additional types of venture, asset and experience that can be powered by VLaunch.

Sounds exciting? You bet it is!

Increasing Launch Types

Right now, we have introduced two launch models that will be available for VLaunch partners in Q1 2023: Engage to Earn and Varrior Token Offerings.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg with additional offerings planned including Private Round Funding and Milestone-based Funding — not to mention limitless potential for further launch types further down the road.

Our journey is only just beginning — and each checkpoint that we reach will only open up more avenues of potential.

Sharpening UI/UX

We’re all about usability and our UI/UX is key to enabling it at its fullest. And even though we’re delighted with our layout in its latest form, we’ll never stop in our quest to make our UI/UX as intuitive and engaging as possible.

It is only with effortless accessibility mass adoption can naturally occur. And that doesn’t just go for VLaunch — friends out there across the Web3 world, if you are reading this — the more user-friendly we make our platforms, the more traditionalists we will show the way and welcome to our DeFi DAPPs during the next bull market.

Implement Community Suggestions

We thrive off the engagement of our community, and welcome each and every one of you to play an active role in the conceptual development of VLaunch.

We do and shall continue to encourage users to make decisions for us in terms of what projects they want us to launch, and which brands they want us to partner up with.

In the near future, we shall introduce a community town hall, which shall become a central hub for socializing, innovation and collaboration.

Here, our community shall be welcomed to play its role in the development of our project itself and its impact upon the next state of the Web3 landscape.

So there you have it — while others panic, we persist. Where others quit, we commit.

The fluctuating prices of a centralized market shall not dampen the momentum of decentralization — and when the market next turns, VLaunch shall be one of the new age of projects ready to guide the masses.
