How Crypto companies generate revenue after launching token or coin

After launching a crypto token or coin, generating revenue depends on your project’s design, tokenomics, and utilities. Here’s a breakdown of how you (the creator/founder/team) can earn revenue from your cryptocurrency:

---

1. Token Sale (ICO/IDO/IEO)

• Initial Coin Offering (ICO): You sell your tokens in exchange for ETH, BNB, USDT, etc.

• If you sell 10% of your total supply and raise $1M — that’s your project capital + potential profit.

• This is one of the main revenue sources at the beginning.

---

2. Founder/Team Token Allocation

• Usually, 10–20% of total tokens are reserved for the team/founders.

• As the token price increases, your holdings gain value.

• You can sell gradually after a lock-in period (to avoid dumping fears).

---

3. Transaction Fees

If your token is used on a DApp, NFT marketplace, or exchange:

• You can set fees on every transaction, swap, or staking activity.

• A % of that fee goes to the project treasury or directly to the team wallet.

---

4. Listing & Liquidity Deals

• Some CEXs offer rewards or incentives for listing promising projects.

• You can also charge listing fees if you run your own exchange or DEX.

---

5. Staking/Yield Farming Fees

• Offer staking to your community.

• Collect a fee from staking rewards or withdrawal fees.

• Great for long-term passive income.

---

6. Ecosystem Utility

If your token is used in:

• Games (GameFi)

• DeFi platforms (loans, swaps)

• NFT marketplaces
  You earn via:

• Service fees

• Platform usage

• In-app purchases using your token

---

7. Strategic Partnerships & VCs

• Partners may buy your token at a discount early on.

• You get revenue + network power.

• Be cautious to avoid early dumping from VC investors.

---

8. Advertisement and Collaborations

• If your token becomes popular, projects will pay you to be featured on your site, platform, or DApp.

• You can monetize traffic, listings, and community access.

---

9. DAO Treasury Management

• If your token powers a DAO, you may have treasury access or management fees.

• Use part of treasury funds for team salaries, marketing, etc.

Example Scenario

You launch a BEP-20 token with:

• Total supply: 1 billion tokens

• 10% for private sale = $500,000 raised

• 15% for team = future value if token grows

• 2% fee on all DEX transactions = passive income

• Add staking with 1% withdrawal fee = more revenue
