The token allocation strategy for Lighter is raising eyebrows—50% going to team and investors is a pretty aggressive move. The market certainly didn't miss it. Polymarket data tells the story: odds of hitting a $3B FDV dropped to just 31% within a day of launch. Pre-market trading has already tanked roughly 22% since then. That's not a gradual shift; it's a sharp reversal in sentiment. When investors see that much supply locked away for insiders, the calculus changes fast. The bearish signal is loud and clear.

50% to the team and investors? Isn't this just openly telling us "newbies and bagholders are welcome to enter"? I've seen too many of these tricks from experienced players.

50% to the team and investors? Isn't this just blatantly cutting the leeks? No wonder it dropped 22% in a day...

50% to the team and investors... This isn't aggressive, it's outright cutting the leeks, no wonder it dropped 22% directly.

50% to the team and investors? That's outrageous, no wonder they dumped the price directly.

50% to insiders? Bro, this isn't aggressive, it's directly treating them as naive little guys... No wonder it's dropping so fast.

According to data, Lighter's approach is indeed a bit ruthless—50% directly allocated to insiders, and the market's reaction is the most honest vote. Polymarket's 31% probability, combined with the 22% pre-market plunge, isn't that institutions voting with their feet? With the supply locked in the team's hands, how should we assess the risk of subsequent unlocking?

Another scheme to cut the leeks, 50% goes to insiders? This is just a live rug pull.
