Last month, TRES brought together leading experts in Web3 finance, law, and infrastructure – Autonomous, Liquifi, Fireblocks, Groomlake and Walkers- for a three-part webinar on scaling through TGE.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Lock In Your Governance and Compliance Foundations
Before you think about the tech, you need rock-solid governance. That means your legal structure, compliance framework, and treasury governance should be fully defined before launch. These are what keep your operations stable when the pace and pressure of scaling kick in.
That structure starts at the wallet level.
“Before launching a token or starting a protocol, take a moment to map out your wallet infrastructure. Define the purpose of each wallet – whether it’s for operations, vendor payments, or managing exchanges – and how everything connects.”- Tal Zackon, TRES.
Strong governance also depends on the people you choose to guide it.
“If there’s one place that you shouldn’t penny pinch, it is on your legal and tax firms from day one. The architecture and the position you take there is the bedrock of what you’re building on.” – Daniel de Sa, Liquifi.
Without these foundations, every other operational decision becomes riskier – and harder to fix later. Once governance is set, you can focus on designing how your token will actually operate.
2. Engineer Your Token Operations Early
Token operations are the moving parts that turn your governance plan into a functioning ecosystem. From custody to exchanges, market makers to investors, you need to know exactly how tokens will move and who controls each step.
“The number one thing in my mind is to start engaging early… The earlier you engage, the better you’ll be with every part of your infrastructure.” – David Wistaki, Liquifi.
This isn’t about building everything at once – it’s about building what you need now while planning for what’s next.
“When you think about treasury infrastructure, you should be thinking about it in phases – what you need on day one, what you’ll need in the first six months, and how it scales after that. If you try to build for everything at once, you’ll slow yourself down.” – Ezra Solomon, Fireblocks.
Done right, your token ops will grow alongside your project, without forcing disruptive overhauls every time you hit a new milestone. The next step is making sure they stay secure as you scale.
3. Make Security & Compliance Continuous
Security and compliance aren’t one-off tasks you check off during launch – they’re ongoing disciplines. Even basic controls, when consistently applied, can dramatically reduce your risk profile.
“There’s so much low-hanging fruit… as simple as making sure you have the basics turned on, 2FA… the odds of compromise go through the roof when we don’t address those.”– Cupid, Groomlake.
The tools you choose early will determine how well you can monitor and protect your operations later.
“Implement a tool like TRES from the early days. Having an institutional-grade tool to monitor your on-chain activities from the start, rather than waiting until your operations grow, will remove a lot of bottlenecks and pain later on.”- Filippo Pettazzi, TRES.
A proactive, layered approach ensures your operations remain compliant and resilient – no matter how your token ecosystem evolves.
The Takeaway
Success after TGE comes down to planning, security, and readiness to scale. Get the basics right – everything else follows.
