• CEX Listing — 5%: A small percentage was allocated to listing in centralized crypto exchanges.

• Team — 10%: As is the standard with many tokens, a percentage of the token supply goes to the creators and the team. This amount awards their efforts and their time invested in the project. 

The Dons Road Map

Phase 1

Phase 1 saw The Dons team creating a website and establishing a community through social media platforms, such as Twitter. The other steps in this phase were the PinkSale and its initial DEX offering. The PinkSale DONS allocation sold out within 20 seconds.

Phase 2

Phase 2 involves post-launch marketing and an airdrop to BNB NFTs active holders. The Dons coin also aimed to be listed on both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, which it successfully accomplished on May 16, 2023. Its aim for Phase 2 also included achieving 10,000 holders, and by May 18, it had exceeded that number.

Phase 3

Phase 3 has six milestones, of which three have been successfully achieved: Centralized exchange (CEX) listings, decentralized finance (DeFi) integration and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). 

Some of the CEXs The Dons has listed in are Poloniex, Bitget and MEXC. Eventually, The Dons team also aims to launch an NFT collection and integrate with an NFT market. Its final milestone: achieving 100,000 holders.

Is the Dons Coin a Good Investment?

With a following of over 48,000 on Twitter and a 24-hour trading volume of $713,404, The Dons coin has achieved a lot in less than a month. However, Phase 3 is critical and will determine if the coin will explode or will disintegrate and collapse. 

As meme coins can exhibit volatile price fluctuations, it's important not to invest your entire savings in them. Instead, as with any financial market, diversifying your money is recommended as you spread risk across different cryptocurrencies. Blue chip cryptos, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, can help bolster your investment portfolio, even if you choose to invest in more volatile altcoins. 

Where to Buy The Dons Coin

The Dons coin was launched on May 13, 2023. As it’s still very new, it's best to wait until it’s listed on major exchanges so you can be assured of a more secure buy. However, if you do want to buy now, you can purchase DONS on decentralized exchanges, such as PancakeSwap.

The Bottom Line

While The Dons coin certainly seems exciting, due to its lively Twitter community and its mass following, it's better to take a cautious approach and wait for it to stabilize — and to follow it for a while to track its progress. On the other hand, The Dons team states emphatically on their Twitter page: Do not fade the $DONS. We are here to stay. Let's hope they're right.
