### Permaweb Index (PI) Token Goes Live: A Fair Launch Model to Fuel Sustainable Growth The Permaweb Index (PI) is poised to launch soon, introducing a funding model built on fairness, transparency, and community-driven participation—core principles that cryptocurrency was founded to uphold. --- ### Why PI Changes the Game Traditional crypto funding models systematically favor insiders—venture capital firms, influencers, and institutional players—who acquire discounted tokens long before public availability. These groups often sell their holdings during price peaks, creating unsustainable volatility and leaving retail investors, who enter last, exposed to significant downside risk. PI dismantles this inequitable framework entirely by erasing privileged access and redistributing opportunity. Instead, it prioritizes the community with a model that: - **Cuts through red tape**: Projects secure funding without bureaucratic hurdles, backroom deals, or token sales that crash prices. - **Fuels builders long-term**: Teams earn sustainable funding via yield delegation, freeing them to focus on building. - **Shares ownership**: Every Fair Launch project funded through PI distributes tokens back to the ecosystem. This creates shared ownership—projects and participants grow together, rather than competing to extract value. --- ### PI’s Transparent Structure PI is structured transparently as an index token: | Asset Allocation | Percentage | |----------------------|------------| | $AR (Arweave) | 33.3% | | $AO (AO Protocol) | 33.3% | | Fair Launch Projects | 33.3% | This clear composition simplifies community participation and provides broad exposure to essential permaweb technologies. --- ### Addressing Traditional Funding Challenges PI and LaunchPad Zero directly tackle conventional crypto funding problems by: - Launching projects with transparent community allocations—no privileged insider access. - Providing funding through yield delegation, safeguarding original community assets. - Reinforcing ecosystem collaboration, as funded projects hold PI tokens, mutually benefiting from shared successes. --- ### LaunchPad Zero: Building a Robust Framework LaunchPad Zero (launch.arweave.net) will soon become fully decentralized and permissionless. Initially, select trial projects will rigorously test and validate the platform, ensuring stability and reliability. This thoughtful approach guarantees a solid foundation for inclusive growth when fully operational. --- ### Community and Builder Alignment PI significantly enhances alignment between builders and the community. Ecosystem projects currently receive about $100,000 daily in delegated support, expected to grow significantly with increased participation, underscoring strong community commitment. --- ### The Future of PI: Driving Economic Activity PI aims to become the autonomous economic core of the AO ecosystem, driving new economic opportunities unique in the crypto landscape. As crypto’s first autonomous index, PI continuously acquires and rebalances assets, creating opportunities for participants to engage directly through auctions. Additionally, PI’s substantial liquidity within AO supports decentralized financial applications, improving liquidity and increasing capital efficiency for all PI token holders. --- ### How to Participate AO and Arweave holders can easily participate: 1. Visit [ao.arweave.net](https://ao.arweave.net). 2. Select your preferred yield allocations—PI tokens (default), AO tokens, or specific project tokens. Participants maintain full flexibility, adjusting allocations anytime. --- ### Featured Ecosystem Projects Initial projects featured in PI showcase diverse permaweb innovations: - **Apus Network**: Verifiable decentralized AI inference. - **ARIO Network**: Permanent decentralized cloud infrastructure. - **Bazar and UCM**: Trustless digital content exchange. - **Protocol Land**: Open-source code preservation and monetization. - **BaseJump and Action**: Game asset creation, discovery, and monetization. - **Botega**: Agent-powered decentralized exchange (DEX) with autonomous agents and advanced trading capabilities. These projects are core to driving ecosystem growth and cooperation. --- ### Restoring Crypto’s Core Values Choosing PI supports a transparent, equitable, community-centric crypto future. PI emphasizes collective success over individual gain, benefiting everyone involved. Exciting times are ahead!
