Many people ask, “How much can developers really make from a $100,000–$120,000 exit?” Let’s look at an example.


Example: Melody, a Sanrio-themed coin

Melody is a Sanrio-themed coin developed by the same team that launched Miffy, which reached an all-time high market cap of $1.4 million. Below are some of the wallets they used and their estimated returns.

Profit estimate

  • Even considering only the onchain wallets we can track, a 1 SOL investment turned into between 6 SOL and 64 SOL.
  • Assuming the core development and marketing team consisted of around four or five people, each member likely received roughly 10 SOL in profit after marketing costs.

Conclusion

For those wondering how profitable a small development team can be, the publicly visible onchain data alone shows an approximately 10-fold return. Some profits were probably routed through ordinary trades or mixed with other wallets, so actual gains could have been higher.

This is how development teams make money: they build when the market cap is low, and if the project takes off, the returns can be significant. Understand your opponent and yourself, and opportunities to profit will become clearer. I hope this helps with your trading strategies. Thank you.
