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.

Meteora Announces MET Token Economics: 48% of Supply Will Be Circulating at TGE

Meteora Announces MET Token Economics: 48% of Supply Will Be Circulating at TGE

PANews reported on October 8th that Meteora, the Solana ecosystem liquidity protocol, announced the MET token economics. 48% of the total supply will be circulated during the TGE. All allocated tokens will be liquid, with no vesting or inflation required. MET will become an investable asset without the need for ongoing unlocking. The Meteora team pledged not to sell any tokens during the TGE; only team tokens will be locked up. At the TGE, all stakeholder tokens will be fully unlocked: 20% will be allocated to Mercurial stakeholders; 15% will be allocated to Meteora users through the LP Incentive Program; 3% will be allocated to the Launchpads and Launchpool ecosystem; 2% will be allocated to off-chain contributors; 3% will be allocated to the Jupiter Stakeholder Incentive Program, which aims to expand core LPs tenfold and will come from the TGE Reserve; 3% of MET will be earmarked for centralized exchanges, market makers, and other entities, making up the remainder of the TGE Reserve; and 2% of MET will be earmarked for the M3M3 stakeholder package. The remaining allocations will be: 18% to the team, vesting linearly over 6 years; and 34% to the Meteora Reserve, vesting linearly over 6 years. Expected inflation will be generated by team unlocking and potential liquidity incentives from the Meteora Reserve. 10% of the TGE circulating supply will be allocated through the Liquidity Allocator based on user preferences, with the community providing liquidity and earning trading fees. Earlier news, Meteora announced that it will hold TGE on October 23, and the token name is MET .

$DOT’s ICO Fade as MoonBull Becomes Best Crypto to Join for Short Term Gains

The post $DOT’s ICO Fade as MoonBull Becomes Best Crypto to Join for Short Term Gains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Polkadot proved doubters wrong, now MoonBull ($MOBU) presale steals October 2025 spotlight as the best crypto to join for short term gains this Q4. Best crypto to join for short term gains is the question echoing in every community chat right now. How many times have people ignored early opportunities, only to watch them multiply into life-changing wealth while they sat on the sidelines? In 2025, the market has already delivered plenty of viral tokens, sharp comebacks, and breakout charts. But the real catch is spotting what comes next. MoonBull ($MOBU) is setting itself up as the kind of project that could turn hesitation into regret for anyone not paying attention. MoonBull ($MOBU) has become the talk of October 2025. Its early stage success has reminded everyone how much timing matters in crypto. Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT) continues to showcase its ability to bounce back and adapt to Web3 expansion. The truth? Those who once missed Bitcoin’s earliest days or doubted Ethereum’s ICO now know that crypto markets never stop giving fresh entries. And for those hunting the best crypto to join for short term gains, MoonBull ($MOBU) may be the reset button they’ve been waiting for. When Polkadot Made Doubters Look Like Clowns Back when Polkadot (DOT) launched its ICO, people dismissed it as just another blockchain project riding on Ethereum’s coattails. DOT debuted at around $0.29, and skeptics said it would fade in the noise of countless token sales. Fast forward, that same coin reached highs near $55 in 2021, turning even modest allocations into millionaire-level wins. The people who hesitated? They were left holding nothing but regret memes. What this proves is simple: doubt doesn’t stop a project with strong fundamentals from printing life-changing returns.

Umbra’s ICO and MetaDAO’s ‘Unruggable’ futarchy take center stage

Umbra’s ICO and MetaDAO’s ‘Unruggable’ futarchy take center stage

The post Umbra’s ICO and MetaDAO’s ‘Unruggable’ futarchy take center stage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Lightspeed newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. A little-known privacy project, Umbra, launched its initial coin offering (ICO) on Solana yesterday. As I write this, Umbra is already 1169% oversubscribed over its $750 million raise target. Source: MetaDAO The real story here isn’t Umbra — it’s the infrastructure that’s powering its sale: MetaDAO’s “Unruggable ICO” futarchy launchpad. A lot has already been written on the intersection of crypto and futarchy by people smarter than me, but here’s the gist: Futarchy is the simple idea that governance should be decided by markets, rather than “one man, one vote” democratic rules, or DAO token voting. If you believe Donald Trump will spur economic growth more than Joe Biden, buying “Pass Trump” shares will get him elected if enough traders buy it past a set threshold. Or if you believe Facebook spending $50 billion on investments in the metaverse will not improve Meta’s stock price, then do the opposite and buy “Fail” shares. Futarchy markets work similarly to prediction markets: They channel the wisdom of markets by requiring participants put their money where their mouth is. The key difference is that with futarchy, actual outcomes are influenced by how markets “vote.” This radical idea was popularized by the libertarian economist Robin Hanson and has existed for years as a topic of nerdy fascination in technolibertarian circles.  (Hanson, incidentally, was also responsible for advancing many of crypto’s major innovations, like automated market makers and prediction markets.) For some time, DAOs like Drift, Sanctum and Marinade have experimented with piecemeal futarchy governance using MetaDAO’s core protocol. The ongoing Umbra ICO is taking place on a relatively newer MetaDAO product, its futarchy-powered ICO launchpad.

Meteora's tokenomics arrive ahead of October 23 token rollout

Meteora's tokenomics arrive ahead of October 23 token rollout

Decentralized exchange Meteora has released the economics of its upcoming MET token, just two weeks ahead of its planned liquidity generation event (LGE), scheduled for October 23. The Solana-based liquidity protocol shared details of MET in a Medium post published on Tuesday, unveiling what it calls the “Phoenix Rising Plan.” The tokenomics is meant to eliminate inflation and continuous unlocks, in tandem with the project’s promise for transparency and community participation. Meteora stated that the Phoenix Rising Plan will see all allocated MET tokens liquidated from the outset, with no vesting periods for stakeholders, except for the core team and the Meteora reserve.  ‘LGE’ will unlock all tokens for holders Meteora’s token generation event (TGE) plans to unlock 100% for all stakeholders except the team and long-term reserves. According to the published distribution details, 20% of MET will go to Mercurial stakeholders, while 15% will be distributed to users of Meteora under the platform’s LP stimulus plan. The allocation also commits 3% for launchpads and the launchpool ecosystem, 2% for off-chain contributors, 3% for Jupiter stakers stimulus package, and another 3% for centralized exchanges, market makers, and related entities.  An additional 2% will be distributed to stake-to-earn M3M3 memecoin holders. M3M3 allows users who hold memecoins to stake them and compete for fee rewards derived from liquidity pools that are permanently locked. Only the top stakers, like the top 100 stakeholders by stake size, are eligible for these rewards. Still, Meteora’s internal team and reserve tokens will be subject to long-term vesting schedules. The team will receive 18% of the total supply, which will be vested linearly over a six-year period. The Meteora reserve, accounting for 34%, will follow the same vesting period. Meteora believes this higher initial float could “break apart the low-float/high-FDV models” common in most token launches. Meteora to reconfigure airdrops through liquidity distributor MET’s launch will include a mechanism dubbed the “liquidity distributor,” where instead of early buyers receiving claimable tokens that may prompt immediate selling, recipients will receive a liquidity position that automatically earns trading fees as they gradually “sell” their airdrop exposure over time. Meteora decided to embed the distribution into liquidity pools, allowing airdrop token holders to earn yield through trading fees, rather than needing to sell tokens manually. The platform said that 10% of MET’s circulating supply will be distributed via the liquidity distributor at TGE, and participants can choose their preferred liquidity position.  According to the Solana LP, this enables the project to bootstrap liquidity for the MET debut without requiring the team to supply tokens directly. Liquidity will come from the community, which will also benefit from trading revenue and fees. “This will lead to high volume (fees) for our LP Army and Launch Pool, and lays the foundation for Meteora in the future,” the team stated. Meteora hits $200 billion cumulative DEX volume The 24-hour trading volume of Meteora was $358.1 million, up 35.9% from the previous day, according to statistics from CoinGecko. In addition, data from DefiLlama shows that the platform has made almost $208.7 billion since its start in February 2023 and $30.5 billion in the past 30 days. Among other DEXs, it ranks seventh in total value locked (TVL) with $706.54 million, $300 million less than sixth-place Balancer. Meteora has listed over 840 coins, including wrapped Solana (wSOL), wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), and popular memecoins such as Official Trump and Popcat.
