🥧 A perfectly baked pie needs a little more time in the oven! 👌 ⏰ Just like a pie needs the perfect baking time to achieve that golden crust and delicious filling, the Pie trading platform needs a little more time in the oven to ensure it's ready for its grand debut. 📆 We previously announced a launch date of January 1st for the platform, along with the listing and release of our token. We were as excited as you are to get things rolling! However, after careful consideration and analysis, we've realized that the current funds raised during the presale aren't quite enough to provide the robust liquidity our token deserves. Launching with insufficient liquidity could potentially harm our valued investors. In a low-liquidity environment, even small sell orders can trigger significant price drops. This volatility can create fear and uncertainty, leading to further selling and a downward spiral that benefits no one. We're committed to building a strong and stable foundation for the Pie ecosystem, and that requires a prudent approach. Therefore, we've made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the launch by 20 days. The new launch date is January 20th. This extra time will allow us to not only secure liquidity but also finalize key platform features, such as the community-driven voting system. We believe it's crucial to involve our community in important decisions, and this delay will allow us to implement the necessary infrastructure for transparent and democratic governance. To further bolster confidence and ensure a smooth launch, we've set a soft cap of $50,000 for fundraising. This will provide the necessary liquidity to support the token listing and maintain price stability. We understand that this delay might be disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. Your trust and support are paramount to us. To demonstrate our commitment to the project and the best interests of our community, we will offer a full refund option to all presale participants on January 20th. This will allow anyone who is unsure about the new timeline to withdraw their investment without penalty. We believe this added layer of security will foster trust and minimize selling pressure after the token is listed. We're confident that this extra baking time will result in a much more robust and flavorful Pie for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We're in this together, and we're committed to building something truly special.
