the state of GOOD — month 1

gc_1600x900_the state of GOOD_ 1 month since TGE

It’s been one month since we launched $GOOD — not just a token, but an entire ecosystem.

One where the token, product, and user behavior feed into each other. Where growth isn’t something we chase with gimmicks — it’s something built into the system itself. Where every trade, every holder, every line of code moves the whole thing forward.

This is the first State of GOOD update. It’s on the longer side, and intentionally so. I want you to see not just what we did, but how we think. What we built, why it took time, what we chose not to do, and how it all fits together.

revenue sharing — the anchor

Every day, we distribute 50% of our DEX trading revenue to wallets holding ≥10,000 GOOD. No staking, no lockups. Just hold, and earn. (Live: Revshare Dashboard)

month 1 revshare snapshot:

All the metrics are moving in the right direction — more wallets, more tokens staked, solid yield — and that’s exactly what we want to see: a growing base of committed holders powering the core of the GOOD economy.
90% of participants opted to auto-compound (receive GOOD instead of USDC), which generated over 50K GOOD in buy pressure. Add that to burns (more on that below), and you’re looking at ~100K GOOD in net demand created by the flywheel in Month 1 alone.

Roughly half the wallets in revenue share also hold our Ultimate NFT, boosting their daily share by 50%. If you decide to participate in revshare, buying the NFT is a no-brainer. And 10% of every Ultimate NFT sale goes straight into the burn fund. One loop feeds the next.

And that’s the whole point: alignment. Users win when the product generates revenue. We win when users trade. Revenue share isn’t a gimmick — it’s what sustainable token utility should look like.

trading rewards & airdrops — the activity loop

If revenue share rewards conviction, trading rewards drive usage. They’re the top of the funnel. You can’t get yield without volume.

Since TGE, we’ve done weekly distributions of trading rewards to all users. So far:

Trading rewards are structured as 1 GOOD per $100 DEX spot volume, $1,000 CEX spot, or $1,000 CEX futures volume. As the token price rises, the value of those rewards rises too. With $GOOD at 4× from launch price, the effective rebate becomes a lot more interesting — and that’s exactly the point. As $GOOD grows, trading becomes more profitable, which drives more volume, which generates more revenue — and the cycle accelerates.

Airdrop One

We promised a retrodrop for early DEX traders after the TGE. We kept that promise:

This wasn’t just a token drop — it was a thank-you to the users who helped us get from zero to $20M in DEX volume. They traded through bugs, gave feedback, and helped us shape the product. Now they’re holding: around 70–80% of the airdropped tokens are still untouched. Many are learning how revenue share works, seeing APY flow in, and even buying more. They’re also unlocking discounts through token holding — which ties them even closer to the platform. Airdrop One didn’t just reward the early community; it made them part of the long-term economy.

Airdrop Two

What comes after One? Well… Two. duh

We teased it for a while — and now, with Airdrop One successfully delivered and early holders showing exactly the behavior we hoped for, it’s time to go further.

Airdrop Two will trigger when our cumulative DEX spot volume hits $100M.

We’re currently at $22.7M. The first $10M took 14 months. The next $10M took just 4. Acceleration is happening — and Airdrop Two is designed to keep that momentum going.

So your Airdrop Two allocation will be based on your share of total DEX volume from TGE to Airdrop, adjusted by your average GOOD holdings and applicable multipliers.

So this time, it’s not just about trading. It’s also about holding.

To qualify, you’ll need to maintain a minimum average balance of 10,000 GOOD from TGE until the drop. Come in late? You can still catch up — but you’ll need to hold more to lift your average. That structure pushes the ecosystem forward in two ways: it rewards active traders, and it nudges them to become token holders too.

Many traders still haven’t bought GOOD. This gives them a reason to. Once they do — and start earning revenue share — many will likely buy more. The multipliers make that decision even easier.

In the end, it’s all connected: trading feeds volume, volume feeds revenue, revenue feeds yield, yield drives demand — and now, Airdrop Two rewards all of it, in one neat loop. (Live: Volume Dashboard)

🔥 burns — the deflation engine

Burns are what turn usage into value. Every trade, every subscription, every dollar of platform revenue — it all tightens supply, automatically

Daily: 10% of our DEX revenue is used to auto-buy and burn GOOD tokens

Monthly: Another 10% of revenue from outside the DEX — CEX rebates, subscriptions to advanced CEX features, and Ultimate NFT sales — is burned in a single batch

That means every part of our business contributes to reducing GOOD supply — not just DeFi usage, but centralized trading, subscriptions, and even NFT sales.

So far:

As volume grows, burns grow. When price dips, the same revenue burns more tokens. It’s a counter-cyclical force — one that naturally kicks in when the market cools, tightening supply exactly when it’s needed most.

And the logic compounds:

More trading → more revenue → more burns → lower supply → stronger token economics → more incentive to hold and trade → more revenue.

This is where the token benefits from everything we do — and the impact is already visible.  

And because we use Solana’s native token burn mechanism, these burns reduce the total supply on-chain instantly — visible across all Solana explorers and aggregators in real time.

GOOD launch and market

When we launched $GOOD on September 9, we priced it at $0.025.

The token hit 4x on the launch day, topping out around $0.18 (7x) several days later— and now sits steadily around $0.095.

That’s solid, organic performance — especially considering we’ve done no artificial pumping, no paid market making, and no fake volume. Just real users, real activity, and real buying.

At TGE, the token was distributed to ~200 wallets — a mix of presale participants, early trading rewards, and airdrop recipients. Within one month, that number more than tripled to 700+. Some of the early recipients sold, sure — that’s part of the game. But the fact that hundreds more have come in and held is a strong early sign. We’ll keep working on growing that base.

On the liquidity side, we seeded the initial pool with $50K USDC, and it has since grown to almost $200K — partly from price appreciation, but also thanks to our liquidity farming program, which rolled out in three phases:

That gave early LPs strong yield, but more importantly, it created real depth for new users to enter and exit without distortion.

We also launched smaller GOOD pools vs JUP, RAY, PUMP, TRUMP, and SOL — with higher fees (1–2%). They act as a buffer for large trades, helping protect the main pool, while also serving as decentralized price references synced by arbitrage bots. And for long-term holders of those tokens, they offer a way to earn solid LP yield — compounding both sides at premium fee tiers.

We didn’t hire traditional market makers — not because we couldn’t, but because we didn’t want to. The whole point of market making is to provide continuous liquidity: to make sure there’s always someone to buy when you want to sell, and someone ready to sell when you want to buy. On AMM DEXs that’s the job of the pools themselves — automated market making — it’s in the name.

When teams add traditional market making on top of AMMs, it’s not about liquidity. It’s about optics — creating artificial demand, faking volume, or nudging the price in a certain direction.

We’d rather stay transparent and true. We want to make sure that when you trade GOOD, the price is what it is — not what someone paid to make it look like.

This approach does not create hype. But it does create trust.

We also permanently burned our original LP position — the 50K USDC we seeded at launch.

We didn’t rush to do it right away, because we didn’t want to posture like a typical “meme” project doing optics for trust. We have a working product and real token utility. But the community asked, and they were right — it removes even a theoretical rug risk and looks better to new users discovering us on aggregators. So we did it.

Now, let’s circle back to revenue sharing and the revshare APY.

When we launched, revenue sharing offered over a 100% APY, which — naturally — helped drive token demand. Over time, as more tokens joined the program and the price normalized, APY settled around 30%. That’s where we’ve been hovering.

You can think of that 30% in TradFi parlance as our current cost of capital — the yield that the market demands in exchange for holding $GOOD. That number isn’t fixed. It reflects two things:

  1. The revenue we generate, and
  2. The confidence investors have in the token’s long-term upside.

We’re working to improve both.

On one hand, by increasing platform volume and revenue — which pushes APY up.

On the other, by building trust — because as belief grows, people are willing to accept lower yield in exchange for holding a token they see as appreciating.

If you believe something is going to go up over time, you don’t need it to yield 30% to hold it. Even 5–10% is plenty — especially if that yield is coming from real, sustainable revenue.

That’s our goal: to keep growing usage, tightening supply, and earning long-term conviction — not just short-term attention.

the product — foundation first, to the moon next

The product is the core. The token exists to support the product — and without the product, there wouldn’t be a token at all. It’s the product that creates value, drives usage, and gives the token meaning — not the other way around.

Over the past year and a half, we’ve been focused on building the foundation for our DEX functionality:

This foundational work is what’s made everything else possible. Some parts are now nearly complete; others still have some way to go. But the base is built. 

Now, in September specifically:

We didn’t ship new app updates — not because we weren’t building, but because we were deep in launching the token, finalizing critical infrastructure pieces that needed more work, and working on two major new features to be released soon..

We had just implemented two major changes in August:

Why the change? Uniswap routing covered less than half the liquidity on chains like Base and was difficult to maintain and didn’t deliver the pricing we needed. So we switched to 1inch — aiming for broader liquidity access, lower gas costs, and reduced engineering overhead. So far, it’s been a net improvement for large-cap tokens. But for smaller, more obscure tokens, we’re still running into issues. This isn’t “done” yet — and we’re actively exploring whether a different router might be needed.

So much of September was about troubleshooting and tuning  — making sure the stack we built worked well in production. 

And all of that was happening while we were also deep in the final testing of two major upcoming features: DEX Futures on Hyperliquid and 💎 Sniper bot — both of which are now nearly ready.

Perp DEXs — starting with Hyperliquid 🚀

Futures are where things get serious.

On CEXs, we already see that futures volume dwarfs spot — by 3–5x. That’s why we view DEX Futures as one of the biggest catalysts ahead.

And we’re bringing them into goodcryptoX — starting with Hyperliquid.

Here’s what makes this a major step forward:

Also, we’ll be the first platform to offer no-code bots like Grid and DCA on Hyperliquid 🔥.

We need to market the living sh*t out of this — and we expect you to help!

It’s a meaningful release — to say the least — and it’s almost here.

After Hyperliquid, we’ll continue integrating other Perp DEXs. Our filter is simple:

dYdX v4 is likely next. Others like Apex, Aster, and Lighter are on our radar.

💎 Sniper bot — this time for real

💎 Sniper is one of the most unique features in our entire DeFi trading stack — and something no other platform offers.

It works alongside our DEX Screener. You set your filters — based on market cap, liquidity, holder count, trading volume, price action, whatever you like — and the Sniper bot watches the entire DEX universe. When a new token matches your filters, it automatically buys it and attaches a take-profit and stop-loss. Fully automated.

We launched it in test mode a year ago — alongside the DEX Screener — and even that required serious foundational work. It quickly became one of our most-used features, right alongside the DCA bot. The user feedback was overwhelming, and the results some users were getting were… well, let’s just say “highly motivating.”

But turning that paper-trading prototype into a live trading tool took a year — because we had to build real infrastructure underneath it.

First, we had to build the DEX Screener itself — without that, there’s no way to scan live markets.

Then we realized that to make 💎 Sniper work in production, we needed two more architectural layers:

The DCA bot went live on DEXs early this year, and the Strategy Layer is now almost complete — meaning that 💎 Sniper will soon move from test mode to full production.

We expect 💎 Sniper to launch shortly after Hyperliquid — and we expect it to move the needle as well. It’s a unique, high-utility feature, and based on what we saw even in test mode, we expect it to drive significant usage and trading volume on the DEX side.

Hyperliquid integration and 💎 Sniper bot are not just another product launches — they are a step-function. For users, for usage, and for the token economy.

And once they are live, we accelerate.

Next steps:

Each of these unlocks new capability — and each one adds torque to the flywheel:

more usage → more volume → more revenue → more rewards → stronger tokenomics.

The foundation is now in place. The tooling is nearly there.

Now it’s time to scale.

marketing & growth

We don’t pay for hype.

No influencer dumps. No click farms. No “growth engines” that burn budget to manufacture vanity metrics.

But that doesn’t mean we aren’t marketing. We are — just differently.

Our approach is measured, deliberate, and product-led. We believe in steady, compounding visibility — not a one-week explosion of noise that attracts the wrong crowd and fades out just as fast.

Instead of spamming 200 paid KOLs with generic copy, we hand-pick trading-focused creators, work with them one-on-one, make sure they understand the product, and help them educate their audience about how GOOD actually works — and why it matters.

We’ve been regularly featured in outlets like Bitcoin.com and Cointelegraph, and we’re doubling down on content marketing, SEO, and on-platform education — helping more users discover GOOD through real use cases, not blind speculation.

The results are showing.

To date, our top referrer has earned nearly $30,000 😱 — most of it from DEX trading fee share alone.

We’re also scaling marketing channels that actually convert. For example, our DCA setups channel on Telegram grew from 500 to over 1,500 subscribers in just the last few months — through word of mouth AND targeted Telegram ads that bring real DEX traders ready to launch the bot on day one.

Our strategy is simple:

Don’t build fake hype. Build a product worth talking about — and then talk about it where it matters.

That’s how we scale sustainably — and bring in the right kind of users: the ones who trade, earn, hold, and stay.

outro

Month 1 is in the books — and the core of the system is now live.

Revenue is flowing. Yield is compounding. Tokens are burning. Features are launching.

We’ve built the flywheel. We’ve tested it. Now we’re turning up the speed.

$GOOD isn’t about hype. It’s about building the infrastructure that makes value flow — to users, to holders, to the ecosystem. Not overnight. But for real.

Everything that’s coming next — Hyperliquid, 💎 Sniper Bot, Grid 2.0, TradingView strategy bots — it all builds on the foundation we’ve already laid. Each release makes the token stronger. Each new user feeds the economy. Each decision compounds.

So if you’re here already: thank you. You’re part of something rare — a project where the product and the token are genuinely aligned.

If you’re just getting started: welcome.

We’re not here for a moment. We’re building for the next decade of on-chain trading.
