Participation Potential
Realistic Outlook
It's important to have realistic expectations about rewards from backing. While some projects may see significant success, most projects follow a typical growth pattern with eventual plateau. Participation rewards are not guaranteed.
Typical Project Lifecycle
Most projects follow this lifecycle:
- Launch Phase (0-6 months): Initial spike in revenue
- Growth Phase (6-12 months): Steady growth and expansion
- Maturation Phase (12-24 months): Peak revenue period
- Plateau Phase (24+ months): Revenue stabilizes at 20-40% of peak
Historical Context
Based on industry research and typical project performance:
- Average Revenue: $500-5,000/month in first year for most projects
- Viral Projects: Only 0.1% of videos go viral (>1M views)
- Long-term Revenue: Plateau projects generate 20-40% of peak revenue
Past performance of any project does not indicate future results. Rewards are highly variable.
Risk Factors
Backing projects carries risks:
- Projects may not generate expected revenue
- Teil values can decrease if projects underperform
- Demand can fluctuate
- No guaranteed rewards—you may receive nothing
Diversification
Diversifying your backed projects across multiple creators and indexes can help spread risk. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
