Despite the ethos of decentralization in blockchain ecosystems, token launches frequently face centralization bottlenecks, primarily through centralized exchange (CEX) listings. This research explores how bypassing community-provided liquidity pools (LPs) at launch and prioritizing CEX listings undermines decentralization. We analyze the adverse effects on community empowerment, price discovery, and token economics. The paper advocates for decentralized liquidity provisioning models to ensure equitable growth and sustainability.
