Launchpads and IDO Platforms

IDO (Initial DEX Offering) is a crowdfunding method on a decentralized exchange, where tokens are sold through DeFi protocols. ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a type of crowdfunding where a project sells its tokens directly to investors. The sale can take place on the project's own website or via specialized token sale platforms like Coinlist. IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) is a token sale conducted on a centralized exchange, where the exchange manages the sale process and acts as an intermediary.

You can find out which network accepts funds in the table on the Launchpads page. The table has a "Blockchains" column that lists the supported networks. You can also use filters to select the networks and projects you're interested in.

Entry refers to the minimum amount of money required to invest in order to participate in a token sale on a Launchpad.

It’s difficult to single out the best launchpad, as much depends on user preferences and market conditions. However, you can evaluate a launchpad based on its rank or position in the list of trending launchpads. You can also consider performance metrics such as ROI, the number of token sales conducted, total funds raised, and other efficiency indicators.

The launchpad rank shows how stable and, on average, how successful the platform is at running token sales in the selected period. It takes into account:the average ATH ROI of all projects with a TGE in this period;the average current ROI of those same projects;the number of token sales with a completed TGE (TGEsNUM). To be included in the Top 10 block for the selected timeframe, a launchpad must:have at least 1 TGE for the 1M and 3M periods;at least 2 TGEs for the 6M, 1Y, 3Y, and ALL periods;show an average current ROI ≥ 1x. Among such platforms, positions in the Top 10 are determined by the average current ROI subject to these constraints. After that, the score is calculated according to the formula.

Current ROI (Return on Investment) reflects the average current return on investment for all projects that held token sales on this launchpad during a specific period. ATH ROI (All-Time High ROI) shows the average highest return that projects on this platform have achieved since their listing.

You can use the filters on the dashboard by selecting the "Active" and "Upcoming" chipsets. Once you click on the chipset, the table will automatically filter the relevant launchpads that have active or upcoming token sales.
