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.

Solana vs. Base: How Ethereum’s most active L2 compares against Solana

Solana vs. Base: How Ethereum’s most active L2 compares against Solana

The post Solana vs. Base: How Ethereum’s most active L2 compares against Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Lightspeed newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Crypto Twitter loves its “Ethereum vs. Solana” debates.  But that framing is problematic. Solana is built as a high-throughput execution layer. Ethereum, by design, offloads execution to L2 rollups and positions its L1 for settlement and data availability.  As such, the Ethereum vs. Solana comparison may amount to comparing apples to oranges. This is explicitly acknowledged by leading developers on both chains. Solana’s co-founder Anatoly has said that “Solana isn’t at war with Ethereum” but with “centralized sequencer L2s.” Ethereum researcher Justin Drake himself has echoed this in the past: “In my mental model, it’s the L2s that are competing with Solana, not the Ethereum L1 directly.” If the real battleground is execution, then the more appropriate matchup may be Solana vs. Base, Ethereum’s most active L2 backed by the full weight of Coinbase distribution. Let’s look at how both these chains compare on headline network metrics. Network usage In August, Solana’s REV (all fees and tips paid to transact on the network) was $77.8 million, far exceeding Base at $6.2 million. Source: Blockworks Research Active addresses on Solana too, outpaced Base by 124% in August. Source: Blockworks Research Application revenues One measure of how successful a blockchain is looks at the value captured by apps built on top of it.  On this measure, Solana too beats Base by a mile. Solana app revenues generated $136 million in August, vs. $21 million for Base. Source: Blockworks Research Source: Blockworks Research Spot DEX volumes How much are users trading on Solana and Base? On spot DEX volumes, Solana has consistently outperformed Base. In August, Solana had about $118 billion in volumes, against $53 billion for Base.

Analysts Doubtful About $5 Potential as New Crypto Steals the Show

Analysts Doubtful About $5 Potential as New Crypto Steals the Show

The post Analysts Doubtful About $5 Potential as New Crypto Steals the Show appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple (XRP) has been considered the most promising altcoin, with the right institutional partnerships and an increasing payments ecosystem. Analysts, however, have been increasingly pessimistic regarding XRP’s growth, especially concerning the altcoin surpassing $5. At the same time, Ripple is steadily increasing in value, and another token, Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), is catching the attention of investors due to an explosive presale and meme-powered infrastructure. XRP’s Uphill Battle Toward $5 Ripple’s technology is still strong, as having major financial institutions adopt its On-Demand Liquidity service for cross-border payments is a feat. But, adoption hasn’t yet translated into the type of parabolic price changes so many people expected. Analysts warn that the increased investment and XRP usage required by RippleNet to reach $5, however, because XRP value must double, investment must be sustained for a long time, RippleNet must be used widely, and it can take years for these conditions to be met. Designed for the impatient investor, RippleNet is used to XRP to keep costs low. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Coin Taking Center Stage Although Ripple is making consistent progress, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is positioned to become one of the talked-about projects in 2025. Currently in stage 12 of its presale and priced at $0.0021, Little Pepe has raised over $24.5 million, due to the interest of thousands of investors. Unlike many meme coins that rely purely on hype, Little Pepe is developing a dedicated Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain for meme tokens. This blockchain will offer ultra-fast transactions, near-zero fees, anti-bot protections, and even a Meme Launchpad that helps new projects launch fairly. The project has also passed a CertiK audit, reassuring investors about its credibility. This mix of meme culture and utility is proving magnetic, with many analysts calling Little Pepe the most exciting new crypto opportunity of the year.…

These 4 Coins Were Among the Most Googled Cryptos in August 2025, Here’s Why They Could Explode Soon

These 4 Coins Were Among the Most Googled Cryptos in August 2025, Here’s Why They Could Explode Soon

The post These 4 Coins Were Among the Most Googled Cryptos in August 2025, Here’s Why They Could Explode Soon appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Four cryptos—Solana, Ripple (XRP), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Little Pepe ($LILPEPE)—were on the radar of the crypto world in August 2025. Both have aroused the intense interest of investors, as evidenced by skyrocketing Google search trends. Although Solana, Ripple, and Shiba Inu continue to stand out in the industry due to their established reputations and growing ecosystems, the profile of Little Pepe could provide a very interesting example of a meme coin becoming a utility-driven competitor with the potential to grow exponentially. Solana, Ripple, and Shiba Inu—What Is the Hype? Solana continues to be a leading developer and investment choice because it has a very high transaction speed and low charges. At an approximate price of $203.38 and with a market capitalization of over $110 billion, its continual upgrades and growing DeFi and NFT platforms still have big institutions and retail investors alike flocking to its gates. Analysts estimate that the focus on scalability and network strength of Solana will lead to a 30-50% price increase as adoption increases in late 2025. Ripple (XRP), with a price of about $2.79, is still enjoying the tailwinds of its legal clarification process in the United States and its growing cross-border payment deals. The increased usage of RippleNet by banks worldwide enhances XRP’s transactional utility, and as such, it stands as one of the top shows to witness a massive price growth soon. With its community-driven launchpad initiatives and initial NFT integrations, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is now a social media fan with its trading around the price of $0.00001205 per token. Its recent burn programs have literally cut circulating supply by billions and speculation is of a 200-300% return should momentum continue. Little Pepe ($LILPEPE)—The Utility Coin That Is Making Waves Of these top-ranking search results, Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is gaining more attention…

3 Cryptos Priced Below $1 That Will Outshine XRP and Deliver Better Profits in the Next 2 Months

3 Cryptos Priced Below $1 That Will Outshine XRP and Deliver Better Profits in the Next 2 Months

The post 3 Cryptos Priced Below $1 That Will Outshine XRP and Deliver Better Profits in the Next 2 Months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is buzzing again, and projects under $1 are drawing attention from investors looking for massive upside. Among them, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has been making waves with its presale momentum, alongside long-established players Tron (TRX) and Cardano (ADA).  These three tokens are priced below a dollar yet carry enough strength and community energy to outshine XRP soon. Little Pepe stands out even more because early investors are already sitting on 110% gains, while those entering Stage 12 of the presale still have a projected 45% upside before its launch price. LILPEPE could outshine XRP and deliver 2,500% profits in 2 months, surging to $0.0525.  Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme With Muscle Little Pepe has quickly moved from being a playful meme to becoming a serious contender in crypto. The presale has already raised over $24.6 million, with Stage 12 almost 98% filled at a token price of $0.0021. Stage 11 sold out in record time, reflecting the strength. Early supporters who bought during Stage 1 at $0.001 have already doubled their investment, seeing 110% gains. Buyers could still enjoy about 45% gains even at this stage when the token lists $0.0030. What makes LILPEPE different from other meme tokens is the utility baked into its roadmap. It is building a Layer 2 network that promises ultra-fast transactions with near-zero fees. Features like a meme launchpad, staking opportunities, DAO governance, and anti-bot systems show this is more than hype. The project has already been audited by Certik and is listed on CoinMarketCap, which strengthens investor confidence. Another factor driving interest is cultural energy. LILPEPE peaked higher than Dogecoin, PEPE, and Shiba Inu between June and August in ChatGPT 5 memecoin trend searches. That kind of real community buzz suggests the token is connecting with retail investors on a level…
