Advice Needed on launching a token for my Web3 project!

Hi! I’ve been working on a multi-chain blockchain explorer with real-time wallet tracking alerts for several months now. The UI/UX is very clean, and I’m finally nearing completion. I’m considering launching a token to help fund the project, but I’m stuck on how to move forward.

My biggest concern is scammers. I’ve seen cases where people steal demo videos, clone social media and website links, and launch copycat tokens, ruining the original project’s reputation before it even goes live. I really don’t want that to happen to mine.

I’ve thought about posting on Product Hunt and linking to a Kickstarter, but I’m unsure if that’s the best route. As a solo founder, I could really use advice on the safest and most effective way to get funding to complete this.

I’m genuinely excited about what I’ve built, and if it weren’t for the risk of scammers, I’d already be showing a demo video comparing my explorer to Etherscan. While they display static or delayed data, my explorer shows live, continuously updating blockchain info across chains. I’m confident we can outperform the competition!

However, I feel stuck. I’m holding back out of fear that someone could impersonate me and ruin everything. It’s honestly been really stressful.

If anyone has experience or advice on how to launch safely while building traction, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you.
