Andreessen Horowitz, a significant cryptocurrency investment firm, has established five crucial rules that new token projects should adhere to as outlined in a recent report.

• Avoidance of Public Sales in the US for Fundraising: The company advises against conducting public token sales for fundraising purposes within the United States due to potential regulatory interventions by the SEC.

• Emphasis on Decentralization: According to Andreessen Horowitz, prioritizing decentralization is essential for blockchain technology and cryptocurrency projects should reflect this value.

• Caution in Communication: Projects are warned against making inaccurate statements, as even one mistake by the CEO could jeopardize the entire project. Discussion related to tokens, such as airdrops or token economy, should be avoided before the official token launch to mitigate risks associated with noncompliance with SEC regulations.

• Careful Consideration of Secondary Market Listings and Liquidity: The firm suggests approaching secondary market listings and liquidity with caution, as the SEC's regulatory enforcement stance may conflict with the mission of the organization.

• Implementation of One-Year Token Lockups: Andreessen Horowitz stresses the necessity of enforcing token lock-ups for a minimum of one year post-token launch for insiders, partners, and others involved in token distribution.
