Should the crypto market reconsider bundling models for project launches?
Looking back at how things worked before certain platforms streamlined the process—when quality teams bundled projects together with proper vetting rather than letting every new initiative launch independently. That structure kept some baseline standards in place.
Now, after platforms like PumpFun changed the game, we're seeing roughly 100k projects launch daily. The barrier to entry dropped completely. You've got an explosion of activity, but is volume the same as quality?
The old bundling approach wasn't perfect, but it did create friction that filtered out low-effort attempts. Worth debating whether crypto needs some friction back—not gatekeeping, but maybe just a return to releasing projects with actual backing and differentiation rather than just volume.

Pumpfun indeed changed the game, but now it's all trash coins running rampant... I miss the days when there was some quality oversight.
---
Is friction actually a good thing? That's right, now anyone can issue a coin.
---
Quality vs. quantity, it's always a false dilemma, in the end, it's the same group of people making money.
---
What sounds good is a return to standards, but actually it's just about wanting gatekeeping to come back, I'll just watch.
---
100,000 new coins every day, my phone is almost full of these contract addresses.

So what do you want, more rug pulls or fewer opportunities?
I agree, out of 100,000 projects launched, 99% are just copy-pasted. What we need is quality, not quantity.
PumpFun has changed the game, but the cost is an explosion in noise-to-signal ratio... returning to a bundled mode? Probably not likely.
Lowering the threshold has indeed led to chaos, but if friction is added back, it will probably be criticized as centralized.
Instead of bundling, it's better to establish a better evaluation mechanism. Right now, it's all about luck and community strength.
Are we returning to an era with barriers? Sounds nice, but honestly, it’s just about wanting to monopolize the right to issue tokens.
Quality? Ha, is there even such a thing anymore? It’s all copied and pasted code plus AI-generated whitepapers.
But on the other hand, the lack of friction is indeed crazy... but I also don’t want to go back to the days where a few people make all the decisions.
Decentralizing token issuance definitely comes at a cost. I can accept that 99% of projects are garbage, but the key is that the 1% shouldn’t be buried.
Platforms like PumpFun are actually a double-edged sword—they break monopolies but also create hell.
The real core issue isn’t the release model; it’s that users need to think for themselves... but obviously, most people don’t.
The screening mechanism is broken, but going back to a review system can’t be undone. What should we do?
