Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

Why Intent-Based Launchpads Could Reshape the Future of Token Distribution

Why Intent-Based Launchpads Could Reshape the Future of Token Distribution

Source: DepositphotosToken sales can be attractive. Pick the right one and they’re highly lucrative, after all, giving you early exposure to the hottest new projects and capturing all the upside as they grow. It’s no wonder that competition to secure an allocation for the top token sales is so intense. But for all their upside, token sales are also a headache. They’re a complex, multi-stage process with no guaranteed positive outcome. Whether you secure entry or get refused because the sale’s oversubscribed, you’ll still have to go through the usual steps: swapping tokens, bridging tokens, and juggling multiple wallets, with the potential of making a costly misclick amplified when interacting with unfamiliar networks. It’s a lot of work and a lot of risk to take on given the low prospect of making the whitelist and hitting the jackpot should the token fly rather than flop. There has to be a better way. Of course there’s a better way: this is web3, after all, where if you don’t like the current framework, you just have to go away and design your own – then convince the market to adopt it. When it comes to token sales, that “better way” may finally be here. It’s still early, but there are signs that momentum is shifting away from the current multi-hop model to intent-based launchpads that reduce token sale participation to a single click. It’s an idea, surely, whose time has come. But will it catch on? Buying Tokens With Intent In navigating the multichain landscape, you may have encountered the term “intent.” Often accompanied by the suffix “-based,” it describes a type of architecture designed to streamline complex processes – particularly those that require interacting with smart contracts on different chains. NEAR, for example, has developed Intents, a framework for seamless, multichain execution. It utilizes solvers and chain signatures, resulting in a process that, from a user perspective, feels as simple as making a token swap. Intents don’t just make life easier for users: they also do the same for developers, who can create dapps that can interact with multiple chains without needing to get bogged down in coding and meticulous auditing to eliminate bugs. Instead they can tap into the tooling and libraries that come bundled with Intents. But what’s all this got to do with token sales? Well, as noted above, in their current form they’re highly complicated, particularly when obliged to purchase tokens on an existing network and claim the new token on a new network. From bridges to token conversions, there’s a lot of steps that must be navigated, all of which cost fees, take time, and heighten the chance of user error. But when intent-based architecture is judiciously applied here, this problem is effectively solved. The technology allows users on any network to participate in a token sale by pledging funds they already hold – USDC on Solana, say, or ETH on Ethereum. If they’re successful in securing an allocation, the funds they lock into the smart contract will be retained and the new token will be made claimable on the new network. If they’re not, the funds are returned. Whatever the outcome, it’s all done in a couple of clicks. That’s intent-based architecture in action – and it’s already seeing action by streamlining access to the latest token sales such as Intellex. Spotlight on Intellex: An Omnichain Token Sale Intellex is building a framework for cross-chain agent collaboration. It aims to develop a “collective memory” for enterprises and individuals that allows this knowledge to be fed into agents that can leverage it to make smarter decisions. Its interoperable layer, built using NEAR, allows agents to operate anywhere, effortlessly – with enterprises reaping the rewards from all this onchain activity, while keeping possession of their precious IP. Speaking of NEAR, the blockchain’s Intents framework described earlier is playing a part in making the Intellex token sale operate as flawlessly as its interoperable agents. That’s because it’s been hosted on Calyx, the omnichain token launchpad that enables projects to reach users across 20-odd blockchains simultaneously – without bridges or coding complex smart contracts from scratch. That’s because Calyx takes advantage of NEAR Intents to simplify cross-chain interactions, giving users equal and instant access, regardless of which network they’re on. Having launched the $ITLX token on Calyx, Intellex isn’t done with NEAR Intents – in fact it’s just getting started with them. That’s because the Intellex protocol, which operates as a Layer 2, uses the same chain abstraction technology to let agents own, share, and use collective memory across multiple networks. This is great for token sales, great for agentic frameworks, and great for anything else that needs to connect to numerous chains. gCalyx.The wait is over: @intellex_xyz sale is live on Calyx 🪷Intellex provides agents with a portable, auditable memory layer for collaboration and trust, anchored on @NEARProtocol to create on-chain value with every action. pic.twitter.com/IVdlIdn3lm — Calyx (@Calyxdotxyz) October 8, 2025     As blockchain projects are starting to discover, Intents are a shortcut to achieving interoperability. If interoperability is the endgame – the point at which blockchain fragmentation has been entirely eliminated – Intents are the fast-track to achieving it. Easier to say than “interoperability” and easy to implement, Intents make all blockchains work as one. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Meteora Details Tokenomics for Upcoming MET Launch

Meteora Details Tokenomics for Upcoming MET Launch

The post Meteora Details Tokenomics for Upcoming MET Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Part of the project’s long-planned post-FTX comeback, the token will have 20% of its circulating supply allocated to former Mercurial stakeholders. Meteora, a decentralized liquidity protocol, has unveiled tokenomics for its upcoming token, MET. The MET token generation event (TGE), scheduled for Oct. 23, is part of the team’s broader “Phoenix Rising Plan,” marking what it describes as a clean start after its rebrand from Mercurial, a long-planned move made to distance itself from the collapse of FTX. In a blog post on Tuesday, Oct. 7, the Meteora team unveiled its so-called “Liquidity Generation Event,” which turns all early supporters and partners into liquid holders of the platform’s token. In the disclosed tokenomics, the team noted that there are no vesting periods or gradual unlocks for holders, meaning all circulating tokens will be liquid at launch. MET token allocation. Source: Meteora Almost half of MET’s total supply, around 48%, will be circulating at launch. Out of that, about 20% will go to holders of the old Mercurial token (MER), 15% will go to Meteora users through a liquidity incentive program, and smaller shares of 3% each will be set aside for Jupiter stakers, launchpads, and market makers, along with 2% for off-chain contributors and another 2% for the M3M3 community. The remaining 52% of tokens will be non-circulating, with 34% kept in the Meteora ecosystem reserve and 18% allocated to the team, with both allocations vested over six years. No Token Sale at Launch Meteora is also introducing the Liquidity Distributor, which it describes as a “new way to distribute airdrops.” As the team explained, around 10% of the circulating supply will be distributed as liquidity positions instead of standard airdrops, letting holders earn trading fees while providing liquidity.

After Zora airdrop goes awry, what’s next for Web3 creator economy?

After Zora airdrop goes awry, what’s next for Web3 creator economy?

The post After Zora airdrop goes awry, what’s next for Web3 creator economy? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Onchain social network Zora has built a reputation as a popular tool for artists, musicians and other creatives to monetize their content onchain, but the recent launch of its eponymous ZORA token has left many users confused and dissatisfied. The token’s price tanked shortly after launch, with users and observers complaining about everything from poor communication from the team to the token’s distribution and utility models.  This comes amid an overall decline in interest in the onchain creator economy and a changing perspective on whether blockchain tools like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are still useful for creatives who want to monetize their work on the blockchain. With creators and builders shifting focus and NFTs no longer selling like they used to, does the ZORA token drop symbolize the end of the creator-driven NFT model? Maybe not, but many creatives are changing their perspectives and the role blockchain should play in the creator economy.  ZORA token launch and airdrop go awry The ZORA token launched on April 23, and it quickly became a point of controversy among users. To start, Zora did not officially announce that it had gone live until two hours after it was already trading, leading to confusion on social media. Source: ZachXBT The token’s price quickly fell by over 50% within those roughly two hours, from $0.037 to $0.017, adding to users’ complaints. It has since fallen even further, sitting around $0.013 at the time of writing. ZORA’s tokenomics also became a point of contention. 45% of the supply is reserved for the team and investors, while 25% is for the treasury — leaving 20% for community incentives and just 10% for the user airdrop. This led some to complain that the project was keeping too much for itself. Others disliked its general lack of utility. Zora repeatedly…
