Aug. 19th — CT.com is proud to unveil the digital economy’s most advanced primary market infrastructure, designed to redefine how social and financial capitals converge. With cutting-edge technology and a reputation-centric economic design, CT.com automates Captable management; it is a Telegram and web native Node Sale distribution platform headed by the industry’s strongest investment board.
The problem at hand
Today, in Web3 and elsewhere, financial capital follows social capital. We increasingly rely on social capital deployed by brands, influencers, and other perceived authorities to proxy value. Funds are raised through an intricate social network. Any new project’s reputation is frequently proxied by that of influencers who promote it. The downsides of this increasingly attention-centric economy are many and varied, but all have to do with the ultimate distortions in how value is allocated:
- Misallocation of value: Genuine contributors often receive the same deals as those with fake audiences, leading to misallocation of value. Communities of retail investors frequently serve as nothing more than exit liquidity due to asymmetric information—a classic lemon problem from Economics 101.
- Costly engagement tracking: Tracking engagement is operationally expensive and susceptible to increasingly more inventive Sybil attacks.
- Opaque deals: Absent a strong lead investor, pre-public funding rounds are opaque and frequently circumstantial, exacerbating the aforementioned value misallocation.
The need for a new solution
Businesses today face the daunting task of distinguishing between genuine contributors, high-quality content creators, and opportunists who exploit well-intentioned communities as exit liquidity. Accurately scoring engagement and assessing how activities drive core project metrics require substantial expertise, resources, and diligence. Traditional referral links and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) rounds fall short of aligning incentives without harming product economics.
The future of the influencer economy
CT.com is a primary market infrastructure designed to lean on and further power these trends featuring:
- Board members from some of the industry’s strongest projects, such as Galactica.com, Aethir, Zama, and Nebula;
- Seamless UX integrated directly into a vibrant and rapidly growing Telegram ecosystem (as well as many others);
- State-of-the-art Web3 Identity Stack for privacy powered by FHE-focused Galactica.com and Zama technologies.
CT.com matches Fully Diluted Valuations (FDVs) and allocation sizes with user Reputation points, which proxy contributions, thus, merit and not simply financial capital as is frequently the case in primary markets today. This ensures that users can earn their way to be at par with more prominent players in the space, such as VCs and others with advanced access to projects.
The influencer-driven economy is at a crossroads, with traditional methods proving inadequate for the complexities of today’s digital landscape. CT.com represents a significant step forward, offering a solution that redefines how value is created, tracked, and rewarded in the primary markets.
