Stepped Pricing

A Fairer Way to Launch Projects

The Problem Fair launches are not fair. Equal pricing is not equitable. Early risk takers are not rewarded for being early. The opposite is true for bonding curves. No one wants to be the greater fool in a bonding curve, buying at 0.345 ETH and hoping someone else will pay 0.346 ETH. Or worse, a friend telling you to buy, only for them to sell at 0.346 ETH.

The Solution Opals introduces stepped pricing, a fair and structured way to launch projects. Here's how it works:

• Limited Batches

  Tokens are released in medium sized, fixed batches at increasing prices

  • For Example:

    • First 50 Cards @ $1000

    • Next 50 Cards @ $1500

    • Final 50 Cards @ $2000

• Safety Features

  • ⏳ You can sell back at the same price you bought in, minus burn tax

  • 🤖 Front running attacks dont make sense for stepped pricing

  • 💎 Early adopters are rewarded with a lower price

How It Helps Projects

• Creates an incentive for early risk takers for being early

• Provides a transparent way to raise capital at increasing valuations

• Predictable fundraising with clear min/max goals

• PVP is replaced with collaboration to get to the next price step

The Bigger Picture Opals is more than just a launchpad—it's a movement to make crypto fairer and more sustainable. By combining stepped pricing with tools like Patron Cards and onchain tokenomics, we're building a future where projects and their communities thrive together.
