Here's something different - a project just rolled out what they're calling a "Pledge" feature. But hold up, this isn't what you think.
It's not staking. Definitely not token locking either.
Think of it more like... showing your cards? You're basically signaling: "Yeah, I'm gonna hold these after claiming. Not planning to market sell immediately."
The interesting part? Your tokens stay right where they are - in YOUR wallet. Zero lock-up periods. Zero custody transfers.
It's more of a commitment signal than anything else. A way to differentiate between actual believers and quick flippers before tokens even hit your hands.
Pretty clever approach to gauge community sentiment without the usual staking mechanics we're all used to.

To be honest, this move is really brilliant. Without locking tokens, you can still see who truly believes and who is just here to cash out.

Haha, here comes another new concept. To put it plainly, it's just about seeing who is truly willing to be the bagholder.

Isn't this just behavior monitoring? They just gave it a nice-sounding name like pledge.

Wait, isn't this just another way of staking a claim? People who can really hold don't even need a signal.

Isn't this just another way of saying reputation endorsement? Real hodlers will naturally pledge, while paper hands will immediately show their true colors.
