TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
Most people judge a token launch by what happens AFTER it goes live.
The price.
The volume.
The pump.
The dump.
But what if the most important part of a token launch happens before the chart even exists?
In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, Sean and Ryan sit down with Bogdan Habić, Co-Founder & CTO of Tenderly, to investigate what actually makes an onchain project launch-ready.
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/3_ivef4DN90
We unpack why audited code does not automatically mean an entire system is ready for the real world, what can go wrong when real users and real capital arrive, and how teams can simulate and stress-test assumptions before going live.
We also challenge the bigger question:
What really determines whether a token launch succeeds?
The product?
Tokenomics?
Marketing?
Community?
Technical execution?
Or does a genuinely strong project need all of them working together?
Bogdan takes us behind the scenes of modern onchain infrastructure, transaction simulation, launch preparation and risk — while Sean and Ryan push the conversation into what this actually means for founders, launchpads and everyday crypto users.
In this episode:
• Why token launches fail before the chart appears
• What an audit actually tells you — and what it doesn't
• The hidden technical risks retail investors rarely see
• Tokenomics vs marketing vs community vs execution
• How Tenderly helps teams simulate before capital is exposed
• How to deliberately stress-test a project before launch
• Why technically successful doesn't always mean commercially successful
• Who makes the risk decision — and who ultimately takes the loss
• What a gold-standard token launch could look like
• What investors should be asking before trusting a new project
If crypto wants to mature, perhaps the industry needs to stop asking:
“How high can this token go?”
And start asking:
“What happens if we're wrong?”
