For many, the usual route of pitching to venture capitalists, hoping for replies, enduring long due diligence processes and trading equity for cash, can feel more like gatekeeping than support.But what if you could raise funds without chasing investors? What if your users could also become your earliest backers? That’s where the onchain funding model comes in.<a href="http://garden.taikai.network" target="_blank">TAIKAI Garden</a> is building the infrastructure to make this model work for early-stage web3 projects, using a more transparent and accessible approach.<h3>Rethinking venture capital</h3>Let’s start with the traditional venture capital (VC) model. Founders typically spend weeks, sometimes months, pitching to firms. If successful, they exchange a percentage of their company for capital, usually under terms that favour the investor.This model not only creates pressure to deliver rapid returns but also introduces power imbalances and a reliance on network access, rather than merit or potential. For developers and builders outside major hubs, or without the ‘right’ connections, VC can be an inaccessible path as this model was never designed with decentralised builders in mind. <img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/gsNxa7-XVs8HZn8OmKfN_yypVnPLYzMxflpEUAM7wO4/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy80MDVmZDM3MC02M2YzLTExZjAtOTA4OC00M2E0ZWVhOTkyMWVWZW50dXJlLWNhcGl0YWwtcHJvY2Vzcy5wbmc" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" />It's clear that web3 needs an alternative.One that better aligns with its core values of openness, transparency and shared ownership. That’s where onchain funding flips the traditional model on its head.Rather than giving up equity to a select few investors, founders can tokenise their project and raise funds from the community that believes in what they’re building.Tokens aren’t just financial instruments.They’re programmable, flexible tools for aligning incentives and engaging users early on.Instead of pitching to gatekeepers, you:<ul><li>Launch a token with real utility</li><li>Raise funds from users who believe in your mission</li><li>Build public trust through transparency and smart contracts</li></ul>This approach aligns incentives from day one. Your users become investors. Your roadmap becomes a shared journey. And your project gains momentum without giving up control. Of course, launching a token isn’t easy as, until recently, it required technical complexity, custom contracts and a strong grasp of market dynamics. Not to mention the available platforms are focused on memecoins or highly-speculative tokens.That’s where TAIKAI Garden steps in: by bringing tools specifically designed to help early-stage builders fund their ideas and grow their communities, without the usual friction.<h3>Meet TAIKAI Garden: funding for the rest of us</h3><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/ZMYbSEWfHLhA_EekownWcBbaGYzGk0rZsscQxJDzpl0/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy8wYWU3YWE1MC02M2Y0LTExZjAtYTVmNS04NTZkMDFlYTg5MjVwcm9kdWN0c2hvdDEucG5n" style="width:800px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /><a href="http://garden.taikai.network" target="_blank">TAIKAI Garden</a>, one of the best crypto launchpads for web3 projects, is a curated ecosystem created to support founders as they move from prototype to product.But to be fair, The Garden is more than just a launchpad. It's a trusted space for builders with serious, vetted projects, who want to build things that matter onchain.Whether you’ve just emerged from a hackathon or you’re building your MVP, The Garden offers a way to validate your product, grow sustainably and launch your token.<h3>TAIKAI Garden as an alternative to venture capital</h3>One of the most powerful features within Garden is the Token Factory, designed for builders who want to launch tokens fairly and without deep technical overhead. It’s a one-stop-shop for fair, transparent, and efficient token launches.

Just clean, founder-friendly tooling that works out of the box.For a deeper dive into how the Token Factory works under the hood, you can explore the <a href="https://taikai.network/garden-whitepaper" target="_blank">TAIKAI Garden Whitepaper</a>.<h3>Building onchain: what does the future look like?</h3>TAIKAI Garden offers a radically different path from the VC-first approach.Rather than putting your future in the hands of a few investors, you can focus on building in the open, supported by your community and empowered by smart infrastructure. You’ll maintain control over your project, set your own pace, and develop with users rather than simply for them.This kind of alignment is crucial in web3. When users feel ownership through tokens, governance, or rewards, they become your strongest advocates. And when your product grows alongside its community, you create a more resilient foundation for long-term success.Too many promising ideas die in the gap between a prototype and product simply because the funding model doesn’t support small teams, solo founders, or projects building in less “investable” spaces. TAIKAI Garden helps close that gap, offering a route that’s: <ul><li>Transparent since everything happens onchain;</li><li>Equitable with no gatekeepers or favouritism;</li><li>Accessible and open to builders worldwide;</li><li>Aligned as projects and users grow together.</li></ul>The next generation of startups won’t be funded behind closed doors, but rather launching in the open and building along with users.<blockquote>💡Tips for building for the long haul: prioritise sustainability over hype; let your community shape the product journey; use onchain tools to stay transparent and accountable from day one.</blockquote><h4>About TAIKAI</h4>Join TAIKAI today and become a part of our thriving community of passionate builders.
