Launchpads are slowly becoming the backbone of the Decentralized Finance ecosystem, offering small and large cryptocurrency projects, whether it be gaming, metaverse or a Move-to-Earn app, access to a pool of investors wanting to find the next gem.

Launchpads are helping connect like-minded individuals to enthusiastic developers, where anyone and everyone can invest and gain from this emerging market.

What is a Launchpad

Crypto Launchpads, also known as incubators, are platforms which allow decentralized crypto projects to raise funds by selling a percentage of the project’s token supply at a discounted price.

Launchpads satisfy two fundamental needs: Decentralized crypto projects acquiring capital to fund marketing and development and investors getting the opportunity at, in their eyes, undervalued tokens.

A launchpad most commonly makes money by taking a % of the total revenue generated by a project to fund their operations and as a reward for their service.

Launchpads

Unicrypt

Within the Unicrypt ecosystem is their very own decentralized launchpad. Running parallel as an incubator, projects can receive feedback and advice from several third-party partnerships the Unicrypt team has established to benefit a multitude of aspects regarding new cryptocurrency projects.

Their launchpad currently covers five different blockchains; Ethereum, Avalanche, BSc, xDai and Polygon. Within their launchpad, individuals are able to mint and launch their own tokens through a simple self-custodial wallet connection.
