【Noice】A platform enabling founders to conduct phased fundraising using tokens / Also released an Oracle allowing token trading on X via the Farcaster mini-app / @noicedotso
It could become a funding option for next-generation founders.
Good morning.
I’m Mitsui, a web3 researcher.
Today I researched “Noice”.
What is Noice?
v2. Token Issuance and Fundraising Hub for Entrepreneurs
Transition and Outlook
The era of growth tokens is upon us
TL;DR
Noice is a social × fundraising platform that started with the microchip payment app (v1) on Farcaster, connecting users’ social media activity to cryptocurrency monetization.
In v2, it evolves into a token issuance and fundraising hub for entrepreneurs, launching with a $250,000 FDV, implementing phased fundraising via TGE and SSLP, and building a growth-linked model through ecosystem funds and syndicated investments.
As its latest features, Oracle and ERC-S are being deployed. This combines an AI diffusion agent that allows token purchases via “likes” on X with a new standard for tokenizing stock value, advancing the on-chain IPO concept.
What is Noice?
Noice is a platform that integrates social media activity with fundraising.
We primarily offer two types of services, but I believe it will be easier to understand if I explain them chronologically, so I will describe them in order.
◼️v1. Tip App on Farcaster
In May 2025, we released the Farcaster mini-app. This is a tipping service that automatically sends micro-tips (tiny amounts of cryptocurrency) to creators based on user actions like likes and comments.
By setting the tip amount for each action yourself as shown below, the operation will then be executed automatically.
This idea quickly gained traction within the Farcaster community, with co-founder Dan sharing screenshots of numerous micro-payment notifications received via Noice within the app, leading to widespread adoption from the service’s launch.
Approximately six months have passed since the release, with a cumulative total of 9,279 users and approximately $1.6 million in chipping conducted.
Additionally, “Noice” launched its native token $NOICE on Base using Clanker simultaneously with the service launch. The token design allocated 20% of the total supply for airdrops, 10% for core team holdings, and 30% for a one-month lock-up period.
It garnered attention after its release, but it gained even greater attention when Coinbase added it to its listing roadmap for September 2025. The price also surged at this time.
Furthermore, by September 2025, they had deepened their relationship with Base, increasing their presence within the Base ecosystem through presentations at Base App events and winning hackathons for Base Batches.
Additionally, in October 2025, it was disclosed that funding had actually been secured back in June via SAFE + token warrants from Coinbase Ventures (Base ecosystem fund) and Network School (Balajis).
At this juncture, the “v2 documentation” for the product was released, clarifying Noice’s new vision. Its keyword is “IPO from your desk,” a concept where next-generation entrepreneurs raise funds through everyday social media engagement.
Now, let’s take a look at the v2 product we’re currently focusing on.
v2. Token Issuance and Fundraising Hub for Entrepreneurs
To put it simply, it’s an ICO platform. However, unlike typical ICO platforms, it’s designed with the specific goal of enabling entrepreneurs to actively utilize tokens to develop their businesses, such as token sales aligned with the fully diluted valuation (FDV).
The process flow is as follows: First, founders apply to Noice. After passing a rigorous screening process, they conduct a TGE on the platform.
The FDV at issuance is set at $250,000, and liquidity will be created and released in pairs with $NOICE.
The token allocation is as follows:
50%: Founding team
5%: Unlock Immediately
25%: Vests over 12 months
20%: Pooled for fundraising (added to SSLP)
5%: Purchased by Noice Ecosystem Fund for $10,000 (FDV $200,000)
0.5%: Instant Unlock
2.5%: Vests over 12 months
2%: Pooled for funding purposes (added to SSLP)
5%: Noice Syndicate purchased for $10,000 (same as TGE at $250,000 FDV)
Vesting over 12 months
40%: Liquidity
Please note that a 2% transaction fee applies to issued tokens. Of this, 1.9% is allocated to the founders and 0.1% to the Doppler Protocol (the protocol for distribution). Noice does not collect any portion of this fee.
I think some unfamiliar terms have come up, so I’ll explain them one by one.
◼️Noice Ecosystem Fund & Noice Syndicate
The Noice team operates the Noice Ecosystem Fund using 10% of $NOICE. First, 5% is purchased for $10,000 at the TGE. This 5% will be unlocked using the exact same mechanism as the founders.
Beyond that, the Noice Ecosystem Fund provides activities to support founders, including bridge financing through OTC/SAFT agreements ranging from $25,000 to $100,000, organizing demo days, detailing investor information, and purchasing tokens worth $10,000 to $50,000 from the public market.
One syndicate is a collective of investors. Each member contributes $10,000 and gains priority investment rights in 10 companies. For each company, they invest $1,000 per token at a market capitalization stage of $250,000.
◼️SSLP
Noice’s groundbreaking feature is its “Raise as you rise” model.
The “pool for fundraising (added to SSLP)” mentioned in the token allocation above corresponds to this.
Tokens reserved for SSLP are automatically and progressively sold on the market as the price (market capitalization) rises. This is called the multi-curve method, where a fixed percentage of tokens is sold at each pre-set market capitalization range (price bracket).
For example, approximately 3% of the total supply is sold within the $1M to $3M market cap range, with fundraising of around $50,000 anticipated in this range. Subsequently, tokens will be sold automatically according to the market cap.
Note that while sales up to a market capitalization of $20 million are explicitly defined, sales beyond that market cap are optional. An additional maximum of 5% can be sold (reaching a cumulative total of approximately 20%), but the founders may choose to close their SSLP positions. In such cases, any remaining tokens will not be sold and will instead be returned to the project treasury.
As described above, the sale of SSLP tokens is conducted in stages. Each time the upper limit of a price range (price trigger) is reached, a predetermined percentage of tokens is sold on the market. This mechanism enables the founding team to gradually raise funds as the project’s token price rises and its market capitalization grows.

Transition and Outlook
The founder of Noice is Mr. Heet Tike. Mr. Tike is an entrepreneur from India who actively engages with the community and gathers feedback under the handle “tk.”
As mentioned above, starting with the tip app on Farcaster in May 2025, we announced plans for a token launchpad, v2, in October.
Noice envisions a world where serious founders issue tokens, raise funds, and grow their ventures.
Our dream is simple: The next million founders will launch their project assets on day one, raise $50,000 to $5 million, and capture millions of eyes—without ever needing venture capital funding.
And this is also a value rooted in their experience. Below is a slightly edited version of the document for clarity. The original text can be found here.
Our team consists of a few friends who have worked together for most of the past decade. We raised no funding from VCs and received no attention.
One day, everything changed. On May 21, 2025, we released Noice v1 and launched the token on the same day. Our initial market cap was $35,000, and we raised $500,000 within three months. This was the result of $NOICE being traded, driven by buzz on Farcaster, our Coinbase listing, and securing Base Batch #001 in India and globally, which fueled expectations. It became our runway (operating funds). We also secured funding from Coinbase Ventures and Balaji Srinivasan.
An anonymous group based in Bangalore suddenly secured $10 million in funding and garnered 20 million views online. This is our fourth company.
What has changed?We have launched our token.
And it worked. The numbers climbed steadily, user counts increased, and our runway lengthened. Stress levels rose too, but they increased in the best possible way.
And in the midst of that chaos, we realized we were obsessed with finding the next dark horse like ourselves.
They aren’t at places like Stanford or YC. They have ample funding, and everyone around them is doing the same thing. They raise millions in seed funding and delay the inevitable for three years (because they have the money).
We think the opposite. We should move up the deadline to six months. If your idea is no good, die quickly and move on. Time is finite.
That’s a very interesting hypothesis. Noice v2 was created precisely to realize this, and a launchpad featuring the aforementioned phased funding mechanism is scheduled for release in the near future.
Founders are accepted on an ongoing basis via social media, but we also pay attention to projects already existing on the Base chain that independently issue tokens and operate.
Existing tokens can also be handled on Noice. If you provide $50,000 worth of tokens, the Noice team will prepare $50,000 worth of $NOICE, creating liquidity in pairs. The resulting 2% trading fee will be distributed to the team (specifically, 1.9% to the founders and 0.1% to the Doppler Protocol).
However, as an additional condition, it is mandatory to donate 1% of the token supply to the Noice Ecosystem Fund. These tokens will vest monthly over a 12-month period.
Additionally, ahead of the Launchpad release, some exciting products were released to build anticipation.
◼️Oracle
In November 2025, Noice released a product called Oracle.
This is an AI agent built to spread information about projects utilizing Noice.
All updates, releases, milestones, stories, and announcements added to the token page (e.g., Noice) are disseminated by X’s Oracle.
Furthermore, on Oracle, traders can purchase tokens simply by liking a post, creating an impact that goes beyond mere information dissemination.
These are precisely the features we implemented on Farcaster, combined with Launchpad and deployed on X as well.
Traders must configure settings on the Oracle site beforehand.
Connect to X
Deposit funds into your wallet using Base or SOL.
As with the previous Noice v1, set the default purchase amount.
To purchase tokens, like Oracle’s tweet!
Additionally, there are two types of purchases: standard purchases triggered by liking a post, and supervotes triggered by commenting “aligned.” You can set the amount for each yourself.
For example, it works like this. If you set it up beforehand, this comment will automatically trigger the purchase.
Additionally, Oracle has its own token, $ORACLE, which is paired with $NOICE. Oracle charges a 1% fee on token purchases, with all proceeds allocated to the buyback and burn of $ORACLE.
In other words, the aforementioned phased token sale launchpad will be released soon, and Oracle will serve as its information and token distribution platform.
Oracle became a hot topic immediately after its release, partly because it was covered by Base developer Jesse.
◼️ERC-S
Additionally, while reviewing the documentation, I came across mention of a rather interesting initiative. It’s called the ERC-S standard.
ERC-S is a new token standard that reflects the equity (stock value) of startups as on-chain tokens. It is proposed by Street Foundation, with Noice serving as its launch partner.
Companies issuing ERC-S tokens deposit a portion of their shares with a foundation or SPV (special purpose vehicle), which is then governed by a DAO. ERC-S token holders can receive a portion of the profits the company earns in the future from dividends or exits (sales/listings), distributed at the DAO’s discretion.
While the tokens themselves are not formally classified as equity (securities), they are structured to provide “pseudo-equity exposure” that grows alongside the company.
This is a very interesting initiative, so I’d like to dedicate an entire article just to “ERC-S” at some point. For those who are already curious, a summary is available here.
Noice is also hinting at starting to handle this ERC-S, aiming to realize its vision of a token launchpad that not only handles simple tokens but also links them to off-chain equity.
The era of growth tokens is upon us.
Finally, we conclude with a summary and analysis.
This is a very interesting project. It’s right at the heart of the recent trend of “token launchpads,” and it aims to combine that with the token viral mechanisms cultivated on social platforms up until now.
Ultimately, which token launchpad to use boils down to “how much funding it can attract.” By incorporating Oracle—a mechanism for information dissemination and viral token purchases—we aim to establish a solid positioning.
Personally, I was also very impressed by the fact that all tokens are paired with NOICE, and that the Noice Ecosystem Fund continues to hold each project’s tokens. This makes it feel less like a simple token launchpad and more like an attempt to build an ecosystem akin to YC or Alliance DAO.
Many protocols collect transaction fees for tokens, but we return the entire amount to the founders. We commit to helping them grow the project as much as possible, while Noice profits through the token allocation we invested in.
As the project grows, not only will the fund amount increase, but the $NOICE price will also rise, meaning $NOICE transaction fees will contribute to revenue. Furthermore, when the $NOICE price increases, the prices of other tokens paired with it will be pulled up as well, creating a new type of fund ecosystem. I believe this mechanism is quite groundbreaking.
Finally, I wrote in a previous analysis article that the future belongs to growth tokens, not governance or utility tokens—and I stand by that conviction.
The structure for ordinary startups like Noice, researched this time, and Believe, researched previously, to scale significantly by incorporating tokens is becoming established. Furthermore, existing large protocols are increasingly unable to increase value through the utility design of their native tokens alone, with value increasingly underpinned by buybacks. Protocols like Uniswap, Pump.fun, Hyperliquid, dYdX, Lido, and Aave are increasingly allocating a significant portion of their revenue to token buybacks.
In other words, whether it’s a crypto project or a completely unrelated project, issuing tokens enables fundraising and growth. As the product matures and generates revenue, the value is maintained by gradually buying back (and sometimes burning) tokens.
As this progresses, we might see patterns where the tokens themselves are tied to equity, similar to ERC-S. Alternatively, companies could allocate a portion of their profits to purchasing crypto in a DAT-like manner, using those funds to perpetually continue token buybacks.
In any case, I firmly believe the era when tokens are used for startup growth will inevitably arrive, and I expect to see them emerge one after another in the coming years.
We will continue to follow Noice, which may become one of those foundational protocols.
That concludes our research on “Noice”!
