GAINS 2023 Recap
Hi everyone,
Let’s go through 2023. A very quick crypto recap first and then what we did with GAINS.
General Crypto Recap
In 2023, Bitcoin opened at $16k and closed at $42k.
Despite the good general uptrend, market positivity has only really been felt in the last 2 months, starting around November.
To tell you how bearish we were, on March 11, USDC even lost its peg by more than 10%.
It slowly re pegged over a few days.
On March 17, the stock of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed by 60% in a day. Causing ripple effects in the entire ecosystem since many startups had funds in that bank.
On March 23, Do Kwon gets arrested in Montenegro for his alleged role in the collapse of the $40B Terra Luna & Terra USD in May 2022.
Just a few days after, on March 27, Binance & CZ get sued by the USA. We don’t know it yet but this will mark the start of a long trial and ultimately lead to the resignation of CZ in November.
After CZ resigned, the mood shifted, as if the last offering to the gods had been completed. And we finished the year beautifully.
GAINS Recap
On February 3, We partnered with Ondefy to allow anyone to buy GAINS with a credit/debit card. This is part of our larger strategy of one-click onboarding.
Shortly after, GAINS got listed on Coinbase Wallet.
On February 27, we partnered with Arbitrum & integrated this network for seamless token distributions on our website.
The day after, we launched the GAINS DAO on Snapshot.
On March 1st, we hosted our first pitch competition, the first of many that year.
On March 7, GAINS became available on Trust Wallet.
Mid March, we attended and sponsored ETH Dubai.
We met many projects and investors. We interviewed leaders of the space, including Sergej from 1inch or Andre Cronje.
We talked on stage with Swissborg.
On April 10, Chain GPT broke all records on IDO platforms. An extremely oversubscribed project that we still managed to bring to GAINS Stakers.
It opened strongly at launch and even reached $0.42.
It is holding incredibly well and today it’s still over 14 cents which is a 28x from our $0.005 price.
On June 27, Shielded voting was added to the GAINS DAO so that the voters choices remain private during the duration of the voting period.
In July, we attended EthCC. Met new and old friends.
We published interviews with ANKR, Gelato, MetaMask and Moralis.
Regularly throughout this year, we highlighted some of our best members, as GAINS is nothing without its community. And we are truly grateful for each and every one of you.
In September, we partnered with OKX Wallet. And followed through with an AMA in their 100k+ Telegram group.
As Multichain had been down for some point, we also did a token swap which went great. Tokens were airdropped to holders and restaked automatically for stakers.
We sealed a new partnership with Chainport for the new bridge between Ethereum and BNB Chain for GAINS.
In October, we released an early unstaking feature with a burn mechanism, making GAINS a deflationary asset
In November, we released a feature that allows you to search all unclaimed tokens. More quality of life upgrades to come in 2024!
We got featured by one of the biggest investor, entrepreneur and podcaster in France, Oussama Ammar: https://youtu.be/XUnsRJIVbGQ
In December we had our advent calendar. We gave away a ledger, discounts for our tiers, free upgrades and GAINS merch.
On December 18, we opened up a new tier named Planktons for people with small wallets. For just 1,000 GAINS staked, you can now participate in exclusive seed rounds and private sales.
GAINS stands for Group Action Is Never Small and no one should be left behind.
We published a funny video to go along with the Planktons tier: https://youtu.be/EptvE3RW2TU
On December 19, we released our updated landing page. Cleaner look, sharp wording and easy call to action.

On December 26, due to popular demand, we reopened OTC trading of GAINS investments: t.me/GAINS_OTC
Looking Ahead
This was a long year. In life, rewards are often delayed compared to efforts. In crypto, this trend is even stronger.
Incredible projects that GAINS backed in 2021 also came back to life, showing that it is important to plant seeds now and reap the rewards later.
Kujira has been trading above $5 which is a 40x+ of our $0.12 price.
Nakamoto reached $2 which is a solid 12x from our $0.16 price.
The GAINS token has also been pretty much up only since early November.
We have been in crypto for more than 6 years now.
We believe 2024 is going to be the single most important year, with true opportunities for generational wealth.
We are ready to execute. Make 2024 a year of sacrifices and focus.
We will do our best to make the most of it, with you.
If you want to join us, stake GAINS to join one of our tiers.
