The Telluria project is holding a good platform that will surely can make a good changes and impact here in the crypto currency community. Well, this project is just starting and that os true. But, if the team Telluria will continuously make its good performance and also, launch a bounty campaigns, then a lot more people will attract here and the its community and name of the Telluria will boost here in the crypto world.
You wrote everything right, first of all the development team needs to make a company of generosity, if they do not have large connections available, then you can make restrictions on participation, then people will see that there are a limited number of tokens and they will join faster.
This strategy may work or may not work, maybe a referral bonuses can help them or some great promotional bonuses. Anyway, I am sure that the team already have their strategies on how to make this project successful.
