We are clarifying one more point. Using the word "SCAM" to refer to or imply about our project will result in an immediate ban.

Dear Community members,

Unlike the previous approach, due to liquidity-related issues, we need to distribute the BARK token Airdrops in batches to prevent a situation similar to the previous one. Otherwise, the problem would be that Airdrops would be sold in large quantities immediately after listing, resulting in insufficient liquidity. Understanding the importance of liquidity is essential.

The challenges related to maintaining liquidity are primarily tied directly to DEX listing. The wealth accumulated from purchases must be used to increase liquidity. However, distributing all Airdrops at once could potentially lead to a rush of selling, causing insufficient liquidity if sales outnumber purchases. A presale would solve the liquidity problem, which not all voters on the DEX solution understand. Therefore, we will not automatically act according to the voting results, as there is only one chance left for success.

We know how the majority of people behave: for them, the continuation of the project is not important; rather, realizing their own tokens, regardless of the consequences and the community's interests, is what matters.

Vested Airdrop:

We are forced to create an airdrop that gradually releases tokens to recipients over a certain period of time.

We want to see the community's perspective through the vote, but we still need to base our final decision on relevant information and our deep understanding of the market.

Example BARK Case and Understanding Airdrop: Purpose, Benefits, and Drawbacks
Purpose of Airdrop
An airdrop is a strategy where cryptocurrency or token projects distribute free tokens to the community or potential users. The goals can include:
Increasing Awareness and Recognition: By receiving free tokens, people become interested in the project and join its community.
Engaging Users: An airdrop encourages users to try and use the project's platform or service.
Creating Market Value: When tokens are in circulation, they can generate trading activity and help establish a market value.
Example: BARK Token Airdrop
Assume that 27,700 BARK tokens are distributed per person in an airdrop. The market value of these tokens at launch is approximately 20,00 USD. This means each person's token package value is:
27,700 tokens 20,00 USD} 27,700 BARK tokens (Airdop amount) = 20,00 USD
Benefits of Airdrop
Increased Visibility: The project quickly gains attention and users.
Building a User Community: An airdrop can help create a strong user community.
Early Adoption: It encourages early adopters to use and support the project.
Drawbacks of Airdrop
Price Volatility: The token price can be significantly affected if many people sell their tokens quickly.
Immediate Selling Pressure: Many users might sell their tokens as soon as they receive them, which can decrease the price.
Lack of Sustainable Value: Free tokens may not create lasting value without real use cases and market demand.
Financial Impact
When users receive free tokens with a sudden high value (e.g., 27,700 tokens valued at 20 USD), they realistically cannot sell these tokens immediately to cash out the full amount due to several reasons:
Lack of Liquidity: To sell 27,700 tokens for 20 USD, there must be enough buyers and trading volume in the market. If the volume is low, large sales can significantly push the price down.
Market Demand and Supply: If many people receive free tokens and try to sell them simultaneously, this creates an overwhelming supply that can exceed demand and lead to a price drop.
Project Costs: Organizing and distributing an airdrop is not free. The project must cover the airdrop costs, which can be a significant investment.
Calculation Example
Assume 100,000 people each receive 27,700 BARK tokens in the airdrop. The total number of distributed tokens is:
100,000 people * 27,700 BARK ( Airdrop) tokens = 2,770,000,000 BARK tokens
If one token's value at launch is 0.000722 USD (20 USD / 27,700 tokens), the total market value is:
2,770,000,000 tokens * 0.000722 USD/token = 2,000,000 USD
However, if most users try to sell their tokens quickly, the market liquidity may not be sufficient, leading to a price drop.
Assume the token price drops by 50% due to selling pressure. The new token price would be:
0.000722 USD/token * 0.5 = 0.000361 USD/token
This means the total value of all distributed tokens is now:
2,770,000,000 tokens * 0.000361 USD/token = 1,000,000 USD
Conclusion
Airdrops can create temporary market value and visibility for projects, but their real value and long-term impact depend on various factors, such as project credibility, liquidity, market demand, and community engagement. The financial benefit from airdrops can be misleading if users do not understand market mechanisms and the importance of liquidity.
Increasing Liquidity and Token Value Surge
When a token's value increases significantly, for example, by 35,000 - 75,000%, it is crucial to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity in the market to allow users to buy and sell tokens without causing excessive volatility. Liquidity can be increased by investing funds into a liquidity pool (e.g., on Raydium, Jupiter or other decentralized exchanges).
Calculation Example in Case of Value Surge
Let's assume the original token value is 0.000722 USD and the initial market cap is 2,000,000 USD. We need to determine how much funds are required to increase liquidity under different price increase scenarios.
1. Scenario: 35,000% Value Increase
If the token value increases by 35,000%, the new price is:

0.000722 USD/token * 350 = 0.2527 USD/token
The new market cap is:
2,770,000,000 tokens * 0.2527 USD/token = 700,000,000 USD
2. Scenario: 75,000% Value Increase
If the token value increases by 75,000%, the new price is:
0.000722 USD/token * 750 = 0.5415 USD/token
The new market cap is:
2,770,000,000 tokens * 0.5415 USD/token= 1,500,000,000USD
Increasing Liquidity
To ensure sufficient liquidity, assume we want to cover 10% of the total token value to allow significant trading without major price impact.
1. Scenario: 35,000% Increase
Required liquidity is:
700,000,000 USD * 0.1 = 70,000,000 USD
2. Scenario: 75,000% Increase
Required liquidity is:
1,500,000,000 USD * 0.1 = 150,000,000 USD
Summary
Increasing liquidity significantly after a major price surge requires substantial funds. In the example case:
After a 35,000% price increase, 70 million USD would be needed to ensure liquidity.
After a 75,000% price increase, 150 million USD would be needed to ensure liquidity.
It is essential to note that the actual required liquidity depends on market behavior, trading volume, and other factors such as the number of trading pairs and the size of available liquidity pools.
Do you understand now what it takes and that this is not a gamble?

Dear members of our community (Telegram, BARK Protocol Community channel),

I would like to kindly remind everyone that we do not have the resources to repeatedly answer the same questions we have addressed multiple times before. Our main channel for important announcements is our X profile @bark_protocol, where we provide updates on key issues related to our project. For now, we ask that you follow our announcements on X, as we are currently expending too many resources trying to respond to all possible questions here as responsible operators.

We work for the benefit of our community 24/7 and for free, because we want to achieve the goals that are in the best interest of our project and community. The most important thing right now is the BARK Token V2. Our channel currently has a few moderators who are commendably dedicated to their work, answering your questions on a general level as much as they can and ensuring that discussions on the channel remain appropriate.

Most individual questions raised here are entirely counterproductive, as answering them delays our important goal of achieving our common interests. For now, our core development team is focused on the necessary planning and implementation, and we will not respond to new questions until we have new information to share. We need to ensure a peaceful working environment.

Our moderators and I will ensure that the tone of the discussions here remains respectful and in accordance with the stated rules. Continually repeating the same questions may be interpreted as harassment by certain parties, which will be addressed accordingly.

Our moderators and I, as the Community Manager, assess the urgency of the questions presented, and we strive to respond individually to genuinely urgent questions. However, I assure you on behalf of our project that I will ensure that all relevant questions will be answered in due course, primarily in a centralized manner or individually in special cases.

This decision had to be made to ensure our peace at work. We aim for the end result to ultimately reward the entire community. Now we must primarily focus our resources on advancing our project. We constantly face many technical issues that require all of our attention.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Best Regards,

🚀 Exciting News! The BARK Airdrop Campaign is coming soon! 🎉 Stay tuned for official announcements and details. We're finalizing the draft and need to confirm marketing materials before the public announcement. The form is not yet available.

Overview

Welcome to the BARK Airdrop Campaign! This campaign is designed to reward our community and early supporters with BARK Protocol tokens (BARK). Below are the details and steps to participate.

- Requirements: Real profiles with active engagement. Confirm that you have a minimum balance of SOL for the Solana transaction fee to claim the first (claim) BARK airdrop. The Solana transaction fee is approximately 0.00025 USD. If you cannot afford this, please do not fill out this airdrop form.

- Zero Tolerance for Disruption: Individuals who have tried to disturb, slander, complicate, or burden our work will be excluded from the airdrop and any future rewards.

*Notice: BARK Protocol and BARK token are developed with the token-2022 standard, which includes transaction fees. These fees are used for BARK pay back (inflationary), ecosystem development, treasury fund, and donations. Because there is a fee, the claiming process gradually cannot be claimable for free when the contract is developed on the StreamFlow service.

BARK Holding Details

- Earlier BARK Holding Amount: Participants can optionally provide their current BARK token holdings.

- Claimable BARK: BARK will be claimable through StreamFlow (dApp), an audited program and service provider, after listing without a BARK transaction fee.

* Notice: BARK airdrop is vested, with BARK unlocking gradually over time in smaller, shared pieces. Information will be provided later in our official announcement.

Additional Information

- Allocation: 188,000,000 BARK allocated for participants (community first).

- Vesting: The BARK airdrop is vested, with tokens unlocking gradually over time in smaller, shared pieces.

- Campaign Dates: TBA
- End Date: TBA
- BARK Contact: TBA

Information on Presale and DEX Listing Process

- DEX Listing Process: BARK will be listed on DEXs through Pinksale Platform after the presale ends to ensure a smooth trading experience.

Timeline: TBA

- Use of Funds: Adding liquidity pools, operational expenses like the listing process, marketing, etc.
- Pinksale platform use all funds to add liquidity pools (this case need to be confirmed, that automatically add DEXs)

Important Notes

- Ensure all actions are completed before the campaign end date to qualify for the airdrop.
- Double-check your Solana wallet address for accuracy and compliance with Phantom or SolFlare.

* Notice! Airdrop and distribution are not free for us. We cover the costs for this airdrop feature and the StreamFlow commission using BARK (tokens).

Flexibility

The organizers reserve the right to modify any aspect of the BARK Airdrop Campaign, including but not limited to dates, eligibility criteria, and distribution methods, to ensure the smooth operation and fairness of the campaign. We also reserve the right to make necessary corrections and updates as needed.

Priority

Priority will be given to community members who have supported the project, advanced our common goals, and previously held BARK tokens (v1), excluding accounts associated with targeting, harassment, and dubious claims against our project.

By embodying these traits, BARK and its projects can achieve a strong, reliable, and innovative ecosystem that values and supports its users, just as bulldogs value and protect their families.

Dear Community members,

Some individuals still don't seem to understand the importance of liquidity.

A direct DEX listing is possible if there are people willing to add liquidity. Those interested can sign up with me, and if there are enough participants to gather sufficient liquidity, we will reassess whether a presale is needed.

For those who understand the matter, this is simple mathematics.

Even BONK can´t do the same what we did. Tell us another token increace like a this +75.000% 1h and 30min +35.000%. Example. Although not directly comparable to the +75,000% or +35,000% growth in mere hours, Dogecoin's rise from $0.005 to $0.40 within a few months showcases rapid growth.
