Every Launch Starts with the Same Risk

Every time a new product or even just a new feature is launched, it almost always begins with one critical but rarely tested assumption. And that’s exactly where the biggest risk lies. Teams can spend months, burn huge budgets, building what they believe is pure genius, only to be met with silence.

The brutal truth: the product solves no real problem. Nobody needs it.
But what if this gamble could be replaced with a clear strategy?

There’s a research framework that helps create a precise map of customer needs. It’s called Jobs to Be Done (JTBD).

The Core Idea

People don’t buy products. They hire them to do a specific job.
And that “job” isn’t just some function — It’s a step toward progress in life. It’s about moving into a more desired emotional state.

This changes everything. The focus shifts away from endlessly adding features and toward helping people achieve their goals. The mission isn’t to just make a “better” product, it’s to make the user better: more successful, calmer, more confident. In short, to empower their transformation.

Who Knows Best?

So, if our goal is to understand the “job” our product should do, who should we talk to? The ones who are already desperately trying to solve this problem today, often with broken, imperfect tools.

If you’re building a premium taxi service, the best people to interview aren’t random riders, but entrepreneurs already paying for private drivers. They’ve created their own workaround. Their experience is pure gold.

Now, if we’re building a WEB3 project, who holds the insights?
That’s you guys. The investors. The ones who’ve been rugged, farmed, and yet still managed to make profits. You know exactly what a utility token should look like — one people actually want to buy, and one you can hold without the constant fear of losing everything overnight.

Setting the Stage

The purpose of this discussion is to reconstruct Cornbit’s journey frame by frame. Not just laying out the roadmap step by step, but dissecting it—to expose the deeper motivations and dynamics behind it.

‍

Investors

Each of you has your own life situation, triggers, and expectations. I want to know all this, to turn these separate and scattered stories into a powerful marketing tool. The key point is to synthesize all the data to identify repeating patterns. Patterns that group investors into segments, revealing what truly drives them.

To better understand your desires and behavior in crypto, I ran a comparative analysis with something more familiar to me—the stock market.

‍

‍

From this, one truth stands out: most crypto investors are high-risk-tolerant, impatient, emotional, and let’s be real, often looking for shortcuts. Not lazy in life, but in markets, many prefer the fastest route to upside instead of doing the hard homework.

Some of you bought Cornbit after deep research. Others followed influencers, friends, or pure roulette. Some trusted the team without ever meeting us. Different approaches, but the same goal: make money and preferably fast.

As for me, I’m the opposite. I’m patient, calm, I want control and to influence the outcome. I don’t like being a passive observer. That’s probably why after two years in crypto I’m roughly at break-even, if not counting Cornbit, where my losses are significant.

But I also see among you a different breed of investor: those who want to build as well as earn. Long-term thinkers like DefiPawn, Dagan, TimonsCrypto, Fahad, and others.

So why all this prelude?
Because I also have my own interests, and they go far beyond a $1M, $2M, or even $10M mcap. And to satisfy both sides, we need to adjust our strategy — becoming more like shareholders in the stock market, with the patience and discipline that brings, but infused with the proactive energy of the strongest crypto communities.

‍

Aracorn, CEO of Cornbit

When we launched Cornbit, the goal was clear: to open a new Web3 market for marketplace platforms. We wanted to enter before the Web3 marketplace hype cycle. Instead, we miscalculated. We were too early. We also overestimated Web3’s adoption and underestimated how fast AI would dominate Web2 business models.

My personal goal was a multiple increase in income and equity partnerships in marketplaces that would have high multipliers in valuation before exchange listing.

Why? To make an exit at the peak and move into the field of biomedical engineering, which is what interests me most. It’s not enough for me to just buy Neuralink stock when it goes public, I want to influence the industry myself. And for that, I need a lot of capital. That’s my "game". You have your own games.
‍

Now that both sides’ interests are clearer, let’s dive into Cornbit’s new strategy.
‍We’ll start with the problems we face, and then move toward the solutions.
But this part isn’t just for me to outline, I want to hear your thoughts.
Only together can we shape the right path forward.

Problems

Every journey has its obstacles, and Cornbit is no exception.
Here’s what stands in our way, and what we must face together:
‍

• Our products are too complex and too narrow in focus.
  In Web2, finding new clients has become a real struggle since 2023, when AI turned into a black hole that swallowed almost all investor and founder attention. And in Web3? It’s simply too early to expect serious traction.
• The token lacks real utility.
  Let’s be honest: even if we gave holders huge discounts or free platform access, nobody would rush to build their marketplace or aggregator just because of that.
• Our communication hasn’t been strong enough.
  Both inside Cornbit and across niche chats, the conversation has often felt fragmented. You’ve all seen this yourselves.
• Marketing and partnerships are not where they should be.
  We haven’t yet created the kind of bold, resonant moves or formed the right Web3 alliances. But here we already see the path forward.
• Community engagement is low.
  Without deeper involvement and stronger KOL support, our voice is quieter than it should be.
• Our products are not showcased properly.
  We don’t yet have public marketplaces. And while our website looks beautiful, it doesn’t build the level of trust entrepreneurs expect.
• The crypto market is in bad shape.
  One word: crap. But paradoxically, this is an advantage — because we’re building at a time when the noise is gone, and the conditions are ripe for true foundations.

Solutions

A bad market is not a reason to despair. On the contrary — this is the best time to build our launchpad so that when the cycle turns, Cornbit will be ready to fly to the moon.

From my perspective, no marketing effort today can bring even a third of the growth we’d get in a bullish environment. Until the Fed cuts rates by at least 1.5–2%, it’s hard to expect miracles.
‍

So instead of chasing hype, let’s build the launchpad step by step:
‍

1. Ecosystem of marketplaces
   Cornbit will grow primarily through its own and partner marketplaces built on our platforms.
   Each new project opens the doors to simpler, more mainstream products, and as a result, to a much wider audience.
   ‍
   Right now I’m considering three:
   • A Web2/Web3 marketplace for AI solutions – its success will determine almost everything, this is the one I'llfocus on in Startup Reality.
   • A Web2/Web3 marketplace for SaaS 2.0 solutions.
   • A Web3 freelance marketplace.
     ‍
2. Royalty model
   Cornbit will start earning like a franchise — taking a % of commissions and up to 100% of sales revenue when payments are made in crypto.
   ‍
3. Strong token utility
   Holders and active community members will get access to all the perks (values) of each new project. Even more, you’ll be the first to know about new token launches and participate in presales, grabbing tokens on the best terms.
   ‍
4. Community upgrade
   We’ll bring in 1–2 new community managers — aids and communication will reach a whole new level. Candidates are already selected. Also, the Ambassadors Program Alpha kicks off this month.
   ‍
5. Roadmap execution
   Everything listed in our roadmap will be delivered, with one possible exception: Cornbit Auction.
   For now, demand for it is too low — but time will tell.
   ‍
6. Website relaunch
   The site is already being edited. I haven’t decided yet if we’ll turn it directly into a marketplace development agency or launch a separate domain for that.
   Either way, the current “platform sales” model will step into the background, while our own and partner marketplaces move to the front.
   If you’re eager to see live cases, check this real estate marketplace built on our Real Estate platform.
   ‍
7. Partnerships with Web3 projects
   We already have quite a few lined up — both projects with $20M+ mcaps and smaller ones.
   I’ll describe them in detail when I walk you through the marketplaces from point #1.
   But just know this: there will be a lot of partnerships.

‍

This is not just a list of decisions — it’s our launchpad to the next level.
I want to take this journey with you. Every marketplace, every project we roll out, is a rocket fuel for Cornbit. Let’s dive into each one, explore it like a powerful tool, and use every chance to push Cornbit higher, faster, stronger. The moon isn’t far and we’re going there together.

‍

AI Solutions Marketplace

This project is the cornerstone of Cornbit’s future growth — our first Kernel of Power.

Why? Because nothing draws global attention today like artificial intelligence. Investors, entrepreneurs, developers, marketers, and everyday users are all trying to figure out how to apply AI in practice — but the landscape is fragmented, chaotic, and often hard to enter quickly.

Our AI Solutions Marketplace bridges that gap: we aggregate, structure, and promote the known AI landscape, giving developers visibility, giving businesses easy access, and giving the community real benefits, levers of influence, and opportunities to monetize. This isn’t just a marketplace — it’s an ecosystem that turns chaos into opportunity, with a focus on traffic, growth, and connecting Web2 with Web3. Details below.

Positioning

We’re not competing with OpenAI Marketplace or Hugging Face.
We’re a different beast: not a developer environment or an API venue, but a dynamic marketplace that uses AI tooling and advanced features to aggregate, structure, and promote everything that matters in AI. As AI refocused investor and founder attention across Web2, we answer in kind — like for like — turning data into traffic and traffic into value.

We don’t need to invent our own models: we take data where it already exists (from open sources to partner APIs) and optimize it for global access. Our strength is SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and multilingual traffic at scale. That lets us reach markets where competitors haven’t arrived yet — accelerating growth and monetization through organic user flow.

Three Development Phases
‍

Phase 1 — Aggregator with hidden marketplace functionality

Goal: solve the chicken-and-egg problem, amass critical traffic, and lay the foundation.
How: scraping + analytics (Serpstat, LLM Brand Monitor) + in-house AI workflows. We publish data as full profiles for tools/companies (the hidden marketplace bit), generating usefulness and visibility from day one. At this stage we sell very little — the focus is content, SEO/GEO optimization, and onboarding early users.
‍

Phase 2 — Classified marketplace (UGC + monetization)

New users start registering and adding content (UGC), while the company/user accounts created in Phase 1 begin to monetize. Once we see live traffic and engagement on a profile, we offer subscriptions and promotion tools; over time, API usage joins the mix (access to our AI system for content generation and promotion).
Logic is simple: first we feed (traffic, visibility, free profiles), then we monetize (subs, boosts, promo tools).
Note: Cornbit plans to partner with MESSIER here to implement decentralized acquiring properly.
‍

Phase 3 — Transactional marketplace (a Fiverr-for-AI model)

We add a direct transactional layer for Web2: revenue not only from subs/promo/ads, but also transaction fees. This can be a separate child product or a core module — depending on growth. Focus: ecosystem scale, Cornbit token integration, and global partnerships.

Target Audience

Based on the AI-tools market, we focus on segments that want not only tools but structured insight, growth, and practical application. This list isn’t exhaustive, but it covers ~80% of growth potential:

1. Developers & startups (incl. data scientists, tech enthusiasts) — ideal for early adopters who want fast validation.
2. Businesses & entrepreneurs (FMCG, retail, healthcare, advertising, etc.) — ROI focus, personalized recommendations, and discounts on trending solutions.
3. Marketers, SEOs, content creators (incl. agencies) — aggregated data for timely materials, audience targeting tools, and real traffic examples for brand growth.
4. Investors & founders — fast insights, success stories, and decision-ready data with global opportunities (no deep-dive required).
5. Students, researchers, enthusiasts — curated learning sets for research and experiments; influence via feedback; early access to non-public AI tools.
6. Cornbit community (holders, active members) — presale preferences (allowlists, better pricing) and tools to monetize within the ecosystem.

This segmentation gives a working balance: 40% promotion (devs/startups), 30% practical application(business/marketing), 20% community (loyalty), 10% education (long-term growth). The global focus makes it scalable, with personalization handled by AI.

The Key Hook

Global, multilingual traffic. We give developers and businesses wide visibility in dozens of languages/markets — even where competitors haven’t shown up yet. Not just reach: a fast start powered by content automation and SEO/GEO for sustained organic growth.

Monetization

1. Paid listing services: bump/spotlight/pin, “Hot/Urgent,” premium placements.
2. Company services: monthly subscriptions (listing limits), catalog boosts, sponsored reviews/articles.
3. Advertising: banners targeted by device/language/region.
4. Referral programs: for AI tools and UGC.
5. Phase 3: transaction fees (5–50% depending on vertical) + subscriptions, in-house ads, and affiliate networks.

The model is flexible: start with traffic (free access) → graduate to premium for loyal users.

Resources

Solopreneur approach with AI agents replacing parts of a traditional team — faster build, lower cost. The starting stack (platform + AI tools) gives us a 6–12 month head start.
Core priority is traffic, driven by SEO/GEO, programmatic SEO, aggregated content from parsing, content automation, syndication, partner integrations, referral loops, social channels, KOL distribution, email/notifications, catalogs, affiliate networks, and YouTube/Video-SEO. Web3 stays supporting, not critical at the start.

(I’ll unpack each traffic channel in Startup Reality.)

Cornbit Factor
‍

1) Partnerships & brand at launch
Until the marketplace token exists (min. ~9 months), all partnerships are signed under Cornbit. That directly strengthens the brand and pumps Cornbit: more mentions, more traffic, more trust in the ecosystem.
‍

2) Community role by phases

• Phase 1 — support + early perks. We need Cornshire engagement: raids, reposts, testing, feedback. Some perks (promo codes, cashbacks, instructions, early access to select tools) will be posted right in the community chat at this stage.
• Phase 2 — tangible Cornbit utility. Holders and active members get systemic benefits: promo packages, cashbacks, early releases, practical AI guides (use-case first), curated sets, etc.
• Phase 3 — marketplace token preferences. On token launch, Cornbit holders & active members receive purchase preferences (allowlist / first wave / better pricing).
  ‍

3) Trust & engagement mechanics

• Public bonus rules. A simple matrix: holding/activity level → concrete perks.
• Weekly Community Drop. Steady rhythm: 1–2 promo codes / cashback promos / mini-guides.
• Referral quests. Bring tools/developers/UGC → badges, boosts, allowlist points.
• Transparent dashboard. Weekly short metrics: partnerships, traffic, conversions to cases.
• Community voting. Monthly: which AI categories/promos/partnerships to push next.

Risks (and why this is an opportunity)

The AI-solutions niche is unconsolidated: hype + chaos = a wide field of opportunity. In the worst case, we maintain stable income from traffic (content/SEO/affiliates). In the best case, we capture a meaningful share of the global AI market. My marketplace background and genuine interest in AI (aligned with my long-term passion for biomedical engineering) keep this project focused and fast.
Regulation & competition risks will be mitigated by decentralization where it matters and a community-first approach.

Finale

The success of this marketplace will define much of Cornbit’s trajectory.
If it takes off, we won’t be “just another Web3 project” — we’ll become the gateway for promoting and adopting AI across Web2 and Web3, creating real demand for our ecosystem and real utility for the Cornbit token — with tens of millions in market cap powered by just one marketplace, one Kernel of Power.
This is where the right strategy turns traffic → trust, trust → partnerships, and partnerships → durable growth of Cornbit — One Corn to grow them all. 🌽

‍

Web3 Freelance Marketplace

This marketplace is the second Kernel of Cornbit Power.
If the first one stands for artificial intelligence (AI Solutions Marketplace), the second stands for people — Web3 talents who create, promote, communicate, and inspire.
Each kernel adds strength and a new facet to the Cornbit ecosystem — the cob that holds everything together.
‍

The goal of this project is to bring the best Web3 professionals into the Cornbit ecosystem on the best possible terms: KOLs, marketers, designers, developers, community managers, analysts, moderators, and everyone who amplifies brands and ideas.
But to attract them, I first need to earn their trust. And in Web3, trust doesn’t come from loud promises — it’s born from reputation that can’t be faked.
‍

That’s why the main purpose of Web3 Freelance Marketplace is to build a Reputation Institute in Web3 — a unique system combining the centralized flexibility of Cornbit with the decentralized transparency of Messier.
‍

Web3 Freelance Marketplace is a Web3 counterpart to Fiverr — built with the soul of Web2 but guided by blockchain principles.
‍

We take the best of both worlds:

• From Web2 — simplicity, flexibility, usability and beauty.
• From Web3 — transparency, autonomy, crypto payments and decentralized trust.
  ‍

If Fiverr lets you sell your talent, Web3 Freelance Marketplace also lets you capitalize on your reputation without risking your data, your credibility, or your access.

Messier Integration

Web3 Freelance Marketplace will be a centralized platform with decentralized copies of key data — deals, reviews, and reputation metrics.
‍

It will integrate two core Messier solutions:

• OpenHatch — decentralized crypto acquiring with no intermediaries.
• Explorer Platform — an on-chain mechanism for recording deals and reviews, ensuring that no one, not even the marketplace owner, can edit or delete reputation data without consequences.
  ‍

Additionally, Explorer allows service providers to define time-based offers, ideal for hiring KOLs, raiders, or moderators for specific campaigns — a Web3 equivalent of our “Booking” module, but fully on-chain.

Status and Roadmap

Cornbit Freelance has been in core development since September.
The release is planned for January–February 2026, while the technical brief for Messier will be prepared closer to December–January, once the platform core and API are finalized.

There’s no reason to reveal tokenomics or utility yet — the current focus is fully on AI Solutions Marketplace, since its success will form the foundation for everything that follows.

Why Fiverr (Gig Model) and not Upwork (Bid Model)?
‍

‍
Conclusion

‍The Gig model leads to payment much faster and is ideal for productized, repeatable services.
Classic Bid models are more flexible for complex and long-term projects but require more time for negotiation.
‍
That’s why Web3 Freelance Marketplace starts with the Gig model, Bid functionality will come later when demand arises.
Not by accident — even Upwork eventually added the Gig model to its platform.

How Cornbit Freelance differs from Cornbit Marketplace Platform?
‍

New WEB3 Era

The era of speculative FOMO is coming to an end.
A new one is rising — an era of results, trust, and reputation built not on promises, but on proof.
Now, FOMO is fueled not by fantasies, but by facts. Not by noise, but by real achievements.
‍

The market is changing and soon, it won’t be possible to just abandon one team and quietly move to another as if nothing happened.
In a world where value is defined by action, only those who build, who deliver, and who keep their word will remain standing — even when everything burns around them.
‍

And we keep doing what we do best — not growing hype, but harvest. 🌽🔥

SaaS 2.0 Marketplace

This is the third Kernel of Cornbit Power.
If the first gives intelligence (AI Solutions) and the second — people (Web3 Freelance), the third brings businesses — real B2B flows, partnerships, and clients that create tangible results.

What It Is

This is an aggregator of SaaS 2.0 services (Service-as-a-Software) — connecting companies through APIs into a single ecosystem.
Business clients can use one balance and one interface to subscribe, combine, and pay for different services while getting discounts, cashback, and AI-powered recommendations.

Cornbit gains business attention, partnerships, and a share of each implementation, becoming an ecosystem hub that unites intelligence, people, and businesses.
‍

Not tools — outcomes. SaaS 2.0 services deliver results, not dashboards.

A single hub. One cabinet, one balance, AI-assisted bundles for specific business goals, multi-purchase discounts, and cashback.

Win–win–win. Clients get fast outcomes without deep integrations, providers gain new customers with lower CAC, and Cornbit grows its ecosystem and reputation.

SaaS 1.0 vs SaaS 2.0
‍

Development Phases
‍

Phase 1 — Aggregation and Provider Integration.
Connect SaaS 2.0 products through API, set up revenue-sharing models and unified billing.
Goal — collect the catalog, start traffic, onboard first business clients.

Phase 2 — AI-Powered Bundles and Recommendations.
The system suggests ready-made combinations of 2+ services under one task, with multi-purchase discounts and cashback.

Phase 3 — Performance-Based Model.
Payment by result where possible, analytics dashboards for businesses and partners.

Status & Timeline

The launch of SaaS 2.0 Marketplace directly depends on the success of AI Solutions Marketplace.
Development will not begin before autumn 2026, and it’s too early to discuss a new token or its utility.
For now, the focus remains on building the foundation.

Conclusion

SaaS 2.0 Marketplace doesn’t compete with individual services — it brings them on stage together and gives businesses a simple path to real, measurable results.
‍

Together, the three Kernels form the Cornbit Trinity of Power:
‍

• AI Solutions → technology and traffic
• Web3 Freelance → people and promotion
• SaaS 2.0 → business flows and scale
  ‍

Each kernel amplifies the others.
Their synergy doesn’t create hype — it builds momentum.
Like a ramp that lifts the whole ecosystem higher, step by step, toward steady and lasting growth.🌽

‍

Trust

Some say trust must be earned.
Others believe it’s a gift — something you either give to someone, or you don’t.
‍

I’m somewhere in between. Not an atheist, not an agnostic, but closer to Richard Dawkins’ view:

I am an agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden.
‍

That’s why I won’t ask you to trust me — I’ll earn your trust through the results of my work.
‍

And if you see trust as a gift, remember: that gift doesn’t bind the one who receives it. Trust doesn’t confine, doesn’t impose debt — it releases you, the person, and the situation itself. It expands what’s possible.
‍

But if you’ve been betrayed, if those wounds still bleed, don’t say:

“You owe me because I trusted you.”
That’s not trust, that’s fear. You don’t trust yourself, let alone others.
So maybe it’s better to sell what’s left of your tokens  or arm yourself with patience, because I have no quick fixes for you.

Over the past month and a half, I’ve come to understand the Web3 space better than in the entire previous year.
And now I see three paths projects usually take:
‍

1. The Path of Capital

You pump your own token, spending personal funds until organic growth appears — without paid KOLs. It’s an interesting route, but it demands far more money than I currently have.
I regret personally spending 1.95 ETH on additional buybacks — at that time I didn’t yet realize that fighting against time is like trying to hold the sun from setting.
‍

2. The Path of KOLs

You pay key opinion leaders, hoping their influence brings liquidity and attention.
A classic Web3 move — the same path we once took.
But without proper deals and oversight, that strategy is doomed to fail, and so it did.
Some payments to KOLs were nothing more than bribes, not real compensation for work.
‍

Of course, we tried to give the token real utility through burns from marketplace sales.But we failed there too — my focus was on Web3 clients, while in reality, we had to sell in Web2, on a bloody market that had already passed the hype cycle of marketplaces.

For a full month, I personally trying to help find an investor for our second client — in a country still at war.
Nothing came of it. That’s why we stopped mentioning it, there simply were no more payouts.
‍

3. The Path of Creation

This is the one I chose — the hardest and the most honest.
It demands long, exhausting work to build products — the Kernels of Cornet Power — that will generate real value and revenue, restoring Cornbit’s strength over time.

It’s slow. It’s painful. But it works.

Marketplaces are like locomotives: hard to move at first, but once they gain momentum, nothing can stop them.
The key is to stay on track and not crash into another speeding train.
‍

This isn’t the path of hype — it’s the path of patience.
And that makes it the toughest one in Web3, because most investors don’t want to wait. They only see the chart, not what’s underneath it.
‍

True products with long-term value aren’t built in weeks or even a few months.
And a token doesn’t keep rising just because someone bought it.

For me, what matters is that each Cornbit marketplace can stand on its own, providing real utility even without a token.
Only then does the token truly make sense.
‍

Most so-called “promising” projects are designed not to bring value but to enrich their teams.
They imitate usefulness while draining liquidity from new investors.
That doesn’t interest me. I’m here to build solutions people actually use.
To create what lasts.
‍

That’s why I chose the third path — the path of results, not promises.
And that’s why Startup Reality will be its continuation.
Not a show, not a PR stunt, but an open process of building a real product in real time.
No filters. No scripts. The same honesty with which I write these words.
‍

Yes, I know most people won’t care — not while the Cornbit chart stays flat instead of going parabolic.
But time has a way of setting things right.

Once someone influential publicly supports what we’re building, the same people will suddenly start saying how brilliant Cornbit and its products are — simply because someone with a louder voice said so.
‍

Many still don’t understand, but everything will change.
Cornbit, as you once knew it, will “die” — only to be reborn like a phoenix.
No more speculation. Only verifiable, measurable results.
‍

And when the time comes, we’ll be able to say:

We didn’t just survive.
We created a new era — an era of trust through action.

‍

Trust, in the end, is not a request — it’s proof of consistency.
You can’t demand it, you can only earn it day after day, through decisions, through action, through showing up when it’s hardest. And that’s what I intend to do.
‍

Everything written above — about patience, about creation, about the slow rise of real value — it’s not theory. It’s my reality. And I want you to see it unfold, not in promises, but in progress.
‍

That’s why the next chapter begins.
Not about hype. Not about perfect launches. But about the journey itself — raw, visible, and accountable.
‍

Welcome to Startup Reality — the living process of building the future of Cornbit, one kernel at a time.

‍

Startup Reality

Every startup looks different from the inside than it does from the outside.
From a distance, everything seems clean, logical, and inevitable — as if success were just a matter of sequence.
But inside, it’s chaos, doubt, and relentless trial and error.
‍

That’s where Startup Reality begins.
Not in headlines or metrics, but in the messy process of building something that actually works.
‍

For me, it’s not about showing a highlight reel — it’s about revealing the real path.
What I’m building. How it’s built. What breaks along the way, and what survives.
‍

There will be no filters. No fancy narratives.
Just the daily process of turning ideas into working products, and working products into systems that feed back into the ecosystem of Cornbit.
‍

Because everything connects: each marketplace, each kernel of power, each decision.
The data, the traffic, the people, the brand — all of it forms a living circuit.
‍

Startup Reality isn’t a show.
It’s a mirror of what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

It’s the long game — where hype fades, but persistence compounds.
Where failures become lessons. And where, step by step, Cornbit becomes what it was always meant to be — a symbol of creation, not speculation.

Backstory

Startup Reality was never meant to exist. At first, it appeared as an alternative to a “startup battle.”
Honestly, I didn’t plan to build a new marketplace — I know too well how risky and exhausting it is.
But there was no other way to truly showcase our products and build a public case.
‍

Then the chart collapsed completely.
And I had to rethink everything from scratch — take on tasks I’d never planned to handle myself.
‍

Now, Startup Reality isn’t about marketing Cornbit — it’s about something deeper.
It’s about reputation. About honor. About dignity.

War, loss, and a word of honor

When war broke out in my country in February 2022, I lost everything I’d been building for three and a half years.
The villa on the coast turned into debts that took me more than two years to repay.
I could’ve disappeared like many others — blamed it on the war and moved on. But when you lose everything, reputation is all that remains. Your word is all that’s left, and if you lose that too, there’s nothing left of you.
‍

I’ve never abandoned anyone.
‍
The last debt I repaid, with a bonus, was to a close friend who never rushed me, because he’d been in a similar place and understood how it felt. We once built a sneaker business together.
‍
Later, that same friend invested everything I’d returned to him, and more, into Cornbit. Now that money is worth a fraction of what it was.
‍
So I understand everyone who brought their friends and followers into Cornbit.

From mistake to new path

Cornbit was my first Web3 project, but it stopped being just a startup long ago.
It became something personal.
‍

Sometimes, to find solutions, you have to turn off logic. Because when Cornbit doesn’t work as a product, I have to reshape it — find new forms, new “kernels of power.”
That’s how innovation is born.
‍

To be honest, the token should never have been launched. We rushed it.
But that mistake opened new doors — it brought amazing people, helped me understand Web3 more deeply, and taught me how to turn failures into strengths.

Cornbit is not a startup — it’s a mission

Today, Startup Reality is more than just the story of building a new marketplace.
It’s two journeys in one: the creation of a new product and the rebirth of Cornbit itself.
It’s about doing the impossible — rising from a fall no one has come back from before.
‍

If you know projects that have gone through something similar and survived, tell me.
I’d love to meet these warriors.
‍

I know Messier / M87 went through failures too, and didn’t break. I respect that deeply. That’s why I will work with them, even if more fashionable or louder solutions appear around.

How Startup Reality Works

Startup Reality isn’t a campaign or a show.
It’s the documentation of real product creation, and the rebuilding of Cornbit, in real time.
Step by step. Without filters, without fabricated “success stories.”
‍

Just as the AI Solutions Marketplace has its three development phases, Cornbit now has its own:
‍

1. The Fellowship of the Corn

About finding not just investors or influencers, but allies — those who believe in building, not just trading.
The ones who stand when it’s hardest to stand, who don’t chase quick gains, but help carry the fire forward.
‍

2. The Two Markets: Web2 and Web3

About synergy.
Cornbit and AI Solutions Marketplace are two halves of the same engine.
One bridges the old world of Web2 — structured, stable, proven.
The other opens the gates to Web3 — decentralized, transparent, driven by community and innovation.
Together they form a hybrid model where technology meets trust, and growth becomes sustainable, not speculative.

3. The Return of the Glory

This is not about triumph — it’s about return.
The return of Cornbit’s greatness, not as a flash of hype, but as a steady flame.
I return not as a king, but as Strider — the wanderer who walked without a throne but never without honor.
True power isn’t in a crown. It’s in the strength to rise when everything else falls.
And when that moment comes, Cornbit will shine again — not as a spark, but as an eternal fire. 🌽🔥

Format

Startup Reality will unfold as a series of short episodes — each showing real progress, real numbers, and real problems.
Traffic. Revenue. Integrations. Partnerships. Decisions.
‍

There will be direct dialogue with the community — questions, polls, participation in setting priorities.
Whatever can be shown, will be shown.
No illusions, no staging — just respect for those watching and believing.
‍

A separate chat will be created for the AI Solutions Marketplace. That’s where all the internal “kitchen” will be published.
Eventually, it may become the official chat of the new token.
‍

The domain and official name of the marketplace will remain hidden for a while — for security reasons (DDoS, fake tokens).
Only members of The Fellowship of the Corn will have early access.

Meaning

This isn’t just an experiment about startups.
It’s about truth.
It’s about showing that honesty and transparency in Web3 can be a strategy for growth — not a weakness.
That faith backed by action creates a new kind of capital — trust that lasts longer than any token.

Final Words — The Fire That Builds

Every true creation begins in silence — long before the world believes, and long after it forgets.
‍

Cornbit was never meant to be just another token, nor just another echo in the noise of Web3.

It was meant to be a field, where patience becomes progress, where trust turns into traction, and where every kernel of power ignites the next one.
‍

The path ahead won’t be fast, and it won’t be easy.
But it will be real.
‍

Startup Reality isn’t a campaign.
It’s a covenant — between those who build and those who believe.
Between vision and execution. Between today’s struggle and tomorrow’s light.
‍

When the dust settles, and the charts flatten, what will matter is what we’ve built, and who stood with us when it was hardest to believe.
‍

One Corn to grow them all,
One Corn to feed them,
One Corn to bind their fate in yield,
and through the fire — free them. 🌽🔥
