Recently, I’ve seen many people participating in Space’s public fundraising rounds. At first, I was quite confused—feeling like it was one round after another, and wondering when it would end. It wasn’t until I carefully studied the public fundraising guide that I suddenly realized.
It turns out this logic is very particular. The team is actually laying the groundwork for the platform’s January launch by designing the fundraising rhythm through segmented privilege tiers. The later the round, the higher the participation threshold, and the rights associated with it tend to favor long-term binding—in other words, users participating later need to commit to a longer pledge cycle.
The reason why Space has attracted the attention of some leading platform research departments is precisely because of this innovative fundraising mechanism. It’s not a simple, blunt one-time sale, but rather a finely divided tier system that can control the fundraising pace while locking in the long-term commitments of different types of participants. From the project side, this is indeed a good strategy.

Amazing, this is the套路, the higher the threshold the longer the lock-up period, it's like using time to exchange for a ticket.
Early birds really profit, later participants have to take longer-term commitments to gamble.
Feels like this mechanism is designed to be a bit ruthless, controlling the pace while filtering people.
Wait, isn't this just a disguised new way of cutting leeks?
Funding rounds are nested, endless indeed.
Must admit, this design is truly ingenious.
Both tiered rights and commitment periods, this combo is quite fierce.
The later you participate, the more you lose, honestly it all comes down to timing.

Haha, it's the same tiered method of cutting leeks... I mean the fundraising technique. The higher the threshold gets as you go further, which is quite clever.
If you enter late, you have to lock in long-term, making it a classic example of reverse harvesting anxiety.
But to be fair, this is definitely better than launching everything at once; at least you can see that the team is thinking.
I bet five bucks that January will definitely miss the deadline again. Is the next step of tiered fundraising unlimited delays?
Oh well, routines are routines. As long as the indicators are compliant, it's fine. Anyway, we're used to it long ago.

ngl this tiered unlock structure is lowkey genius from a collusion standpoint... they're literally structuring the mempool to filter late entrants into longer lockup periods. classic liquidity segmentation play but wrapped in "innovation" rhetoric. gotta respect the engineering tho

Bro, this analysis is amazing. I was also confused by the rounds before.
FOMO during early entry, getting trapped during late entry, this kind of space really knows how to do the math.

lmao actually if you trace the gas consumption across each funding round, there's a clear MEV extraction window they're not talking about

Honestly, this segmented tiered system is a bit ruthless. The further you go, the higher the threshold and the deeper the promises. It's really just selling anxiety.
