Farm $BUILD in Notcoin Launchpool Without Risking Too Much on Token Price Swings

Participating in a launchpool like Notcoin’s $BUILD campaign requires you to stake NOT, DOGS, or TON.

Drawing from previous successful launchpools such as OKX’s $NOT and ByBit’s $NOT campaigns, many participants have already seen how leveraging EVAA’s smart lending strategy can reduce risk and maximize returns. The same approach can now be applied to the Notcoin $BUILD launchpool.

Here’s a breakdown of the traditional method and the smarter alternative.

The Traditional Approach

When a major project like Notcoin announces its launchpool, participants are required to stake specific tokens — in this case, NOT, DOGS, or TON — to qualify for the reward — in this case, $BUILD. This announcement typically triggers a surge in demand for these tokens, leading to a rise in their market prices.

BUT there’s a catch: When everyone is staking, large players (aka "whales") often sell their tokens into the increased demand, causing the price to drop soon after. This exposes regular participants to significant price risk.

Additionally, to get a larger allocation of $BUILD tokens, you must stake more NOT, DOGS, or TON. The more tokens you stake, the greater your exposure to price swings. If the price of these tokens falls, so does the value of your position.

This strategy is risky and suboptimal.

The Smarter Strategy: Borrow Instead of Buy

This is where lending protocols like EVAA come in handy. Instead of buying tokens, you can borrow them using your USDt as collateral. You can currently borrow TON through EVAA, and very soon, you’ll also be able to borrow NOT and DOGS for use in the new launchpool.

Here’s how this strategy works:

1. Deposit USDt: Supply USDt into EVAA to earn interest while using it as collateral.
2. Borrow TON: Use the collateralized USDt to borrow TON.
3. Stake Tokens: Use the borrowed TON to participate in the launchpool and farm $BUILD tokens.

Why is this strategy smart?
