Crypto has a fundraising problem. In this episode of Unchained Opinions, we dive into why the industry’s obsession with airdrops, low token floats, and short-term hype is undermining real long-term growth — and how validator license sales could offer a way out.

Instead of fueling speculation, this model lets projects raise funds by selling the right to operate validator nodes, with rewards tied directly to real network activity and long-term performance. It’s a vision that could:

• 🌱 Attract committed believers instead of mercenary traders
• ⚖️ Align incentives between projects, validators, and communities
• 🔑 Build sustainable ecosystems without the pump-and-dump cycles

We’ll also connect this to the current crypto market landscape, with updates on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoin prices, plus other headlines shaping the debate around capital formation in Web3.

Is the validator license model the sustainable future of blockchain launches — or just another experiment waiting to fail? Let’s break it down.
