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.

Blockchain Giant Announces Major New Partnership

Blockchain Giant Announces Major New Partnership

The post Blockchain Giant Announces Major New Partnership appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fintech Fintech Giant Ripple’s Middle East strategy is accelerating in 2025. The blockchain payments company has entered a new phase of regional growth through a strategic alliance with Bahrain FinTech Bay, a partnership aimed at cementing the country’s role as one of the Gulf’s most progressive blockchain centers. Rather than a simple collaboration, the deal positions Ripple to work directly with financial institutions, regulators, and startups across Bahrain’s financial ecosystem. The focus will extend beyond payments to include digital asset custody, tokenization infrastructure, and the rollout of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. The initiative builds on a series of recent regulatory wins that have expanded Ripple’s footprint in the region. Earlier this year, the company became the first blockchain-based payments firm licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) – a milestone that opened the door for institutional adoption across the Emirates. Ripple’s regional head, Reece Merrick, described Bahrain as an ideal partner for innovation, noting that the country “has shown unmatched readiness to adopt blockchain technology.” He said the collaboration will help strengthen Bahrain’s regulatory foundations and create a launchpad for Ripple’s institutional-grade digital asset services. Behind the scenes, the partnership also reflects a broader trend: Gulf governments are rapidly embracing blockchain regulation as they compete to attract fintech investment. Bahrain was among the first globally to introduce a comprehensive virtual asset framework, earning a reputation for its pragmatic approach to emerging technologies. Ripple, meanwhile, continues to lean into its compliance-first strategy. The company now holds over 60 licenses worldwide, signaling a deliberate pivot from its early legal challenges toward full-scale global integration. Industry observers say the Bahrain alliance marks a step beyond expansion – it’s an attempt to weave Ripple’s infrastructure directly into the region’s financial architecture. By working with Bahrain FinTech Bay, Ripple isn’t just courting adoption – it’s…

Virtuals Protocol: Why are we launching Unicorn, our new launch pad?

Virtuals Protocol: Why are we launching Unicorn, our new launch pad?

Author: Virtuals Protocol Compiled by: TechFlow Why change? We believe that in the future agents will surpass humans, and global productivity will shift from human GDP to agent GDP (aGDP). Every part of Virtuals plays a role in this mission: Butler connects people with AI agents, making interaction and coordination seamless. ACP (Agentic Core Protocol) provides an economic foundation for agents, a permissionless transaction, trade, and collaboration layer. The creation of Virtuals Launchpad addresses the most critical aspect: co-ownership of agents. The original intention of Virtuals Launchpad was to enable anyone to co-own intelligent entities that shape the future AI economy. However, our first launch model, Genesis, failed to achieve this vision. Genesis starts with fairness. Every Virgen (Virtuals Protocol participant) can participate through points. The participation threshold is equal, the contribution threshold is high, and every project has visibility. Genesis pursues fairness, but like Icarus, it flies too high and eventually falls. Deep Tide Note: "Icarus" is a figure in Greek mythology who, along with his father, Daedalus, escaped Crete by crafting wings from wax and feathers. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high (towards the sun) or too low (towards the sea). However, Icarus, overwhelmed by the thrill of flight, flew too high, and the sun's heat melted the wax on his wings, causing him to fall into the sea and drown. But fairness has turned into scoring. The entire system has become about collecting points, not faith. Virgens rotate from one platform to another, racking up points, staking, selling, and leaving. The cycle repeats. High-quality founders are unable to raise meaningful funding. The system lacks a built-in fundraising mechanism, with only small transaction fees, which has led talented developers to avoid the platform entirely. The result: Virgens' returns have dwindled, project quality has declined, and user confidence has been eroded. While fairness exists, it's unsustainable. We realized that if we wanted people to truly co-own the AI agents that define the future, we needed a new model—one that made ownership meaningful again, rewarded early conviction, attracted high-quality founders, and created a home for agents worth living. That’s why we built Unicorn, a launchpad system to nurture the next billion-dollar agency. What has changed? Unicorn is designed around belief, not convenience. It gives Virgens the freedom to take authentic positions and rewards them for good judgment. It provides founders with the capital to build long-term structures and grow based on results. What the she-wolf was to ancient Rome, the Unicorn is to the new era of AI ownership. How it works Unicorn is built for true faith, for Virgens who can discover faith early, and for founders who can prove faith. Every project starts small, allowing anyone to trade, and eventually scales to hundreds of billions of dollars. Early confidence will bring huge rewards. Founders are protected, held accountable, and only receive funding when they achieve real growth. That’s how we make winning meaningful again. i. Creation phase Founders need to pay a one-time creation fee of $100 VIRTUAL to start the project. Once created, a dedicated proxy launch page will be published on the Virtuals Protocol platform, displaying all core project details, token supply, founding team, and launch parameters. There is a minimum 24-hour evaluation window between page creation and public trading. This allows the community time to review, discuss, and evaluate each project before liquidity is released. Trading will then begin. ii. Start-up and Early-stage Transactions Transactions start at lower initial valuations, providing early-stage Virgens with asymmetric, often extraordinary upside to discover conviction before others. Anyone can participate directly through the Virtuals Protocol interface, with no pre-sales, whitelists, or allocation restrictions required. To maintain fairness, the Anti-Sniper Tax will be enabled at startup. Anti-Sniper Tax: The initial tax rate is 99% and decays linearly to 1% over time. All collected taxes will be used to repurchase proxy tokens to strengthen the market and reward genuine participants. The system prevents bot takeover and transforms volatility into constructive liquidity growth. iii. Team Distribution and Fundraising Mechanism 50% of the total supply is reserved for the founding team. 25% is distributed linearly through limited price sale fundraising, starting only when the project reaches 2 million FDV and continuing until 160 million FDV. These sales will be executed automatically and transparently as the project grows. Founders only receive benefits when they gain traction in the actual market, and funding is tied to performance, not promises. The remaining 25% will be unlocked one year after the TGE on a six-month linear vesting schedule, or when the project reaches 160 million FDV, whichever comes first. This dual team allocation structure ensures that founders receive both financial support and accountability, preventing them from selling out early and instead securing growth funding by building value over the long term. iv. Ecological Airdrop Each Unicorn release allocates 5% of the total supply to real Virgens: 2% allocated to $VIRTUAL stakers 3% allocated to active Virtuals ecosystem participants Airdrops are distributed weekly, and snapshots are linked to $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activities. This means that every proxy launch will directly reward $VIRTUAL stakers and active Virtuals Protocol ecosystem participants. Transition from a points system As we transition from Genesis to Unicorn, airdrops will gradually shift from the old points system to the new $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activity model. During the transition period, all existing points will still generate airdrops based on the number of points held, and will also receive rewards based on $VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activities. Prior to the launch of Unicorn, a snapshot of all existing points balances will be taken. Airdrop distribution will then follow a three-week transition plan until full migration to the new model is complete. Token Allocation Key The road ahead Genesis was an experiment, a bold attempt to ensure a fair and transparent product launch. It succeeded to a certain extent, but fairness alone is not enough. Small victories don't build a lasting market. Fire is the first spark of humanity, and agency ownership is the next. Unicorn rewards belief, provides funding for real developers, and makes ownership meaningful again - ownership that drives the rise of Agentic GDP and real problem solving. This is how we'll move forward: helping Virgens co-own the AI agents that define the next economy and attract founders who can build for the long term. When Virgens win, Virtuals win. This is the only way forward. Unicorn, stay tuned!

With the cryptocurrency market so active even during the long holiday, everyone must be eager to see what's next. So, what upcoming coin offerings can we look forward to, allowing us to secure more funds and participate in the subsequent market? BlockBeats organizes the projects that are about to launch tokens for you. Meteora On September 30, the official Solana ecosystem liquidity protocol Meteora posted on social media that the project will launch TGE on October 23, and the token name will be MET. On October 8th, Meteora announced the MET token economics, with 48% of the total supply slated for circulation at the TGE.

Monad On October 9, Monad tweeted that the airdrop claim portal will open on October 14 (Tuesday). Currently, the Monad token $MON is trading at approximately $0.13 on Hyperliquid's pre-market futures. On September 11th, Monad co-founder Keone Hon stated on the X social platform that the initial total supply of the Monad chain's native Gas token will be 100 billion. On April 9, 2024, Fortune magazine reported that Layer 1 blockchain Monad Labs completed US$225 million in financing. This round of financing was led by Paradigm, with participation from IOSG Ventures, SevenX Ventures, Electric Capital and Greenoaks. Abstract In May of this year, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz hinted during a livestream that the Layer 2 network Abstract Chain might hold its TGE before the end of the year. “Before the end of the year means September, October, November, and December, so users still have at least three months.” Abstract, formerly known as Flame, was acquired by Igloo, the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, and the huge success of Pudgy Penguins' token $PENGU. NFT players and the entire market have been looking forward to Abstract, a new chain. Pharos In a community AMA in early October, Pharos officials revealed that they plan to conduct TGE in the first quarter of next year. Pharos is a RWA layer 1 public blockchain with Ant Group background. CEO Alex Zhang was previously CEO of @zan_team, Ant Group's Web3 technology company, and also served as CTO of AntChain. CTO Wish Wu was previously CSO (Chief Security Officer) of @zan_team, Ant Group's Web3 technology company. On November 9, 2024, Pharos announced the completion of an $8 million seed round of financing, with participation from Faction, Hack VC, SNZ Holding, Reforge, Dispersion Capital, Hash Global, Generative Ventures, Legend Star, MH Ventures, Zion, and Chorus One Ventures. On September 1st of this year, Yunfeng Financial announced a strategic partnership agreement with Ant Financial and a strategic investment in Pharos. The two parties will collaborate on compliant development of cutting-edge areas such as the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) and Web3 through Pharos' high-performance public blockchain platform. OpenSea As the former king of the NFT market, OpenSea is finally going to issue coins. On September 9, OpenSea CMO Adam Hollander revealed in an article published on Twitter that the OpenSea Foundation will release the specific details of TGE in early October. MetaMask Like OpenSea, MetaMask was once the king of the wallet market and is finally launching its own token. On October 9th, MetaMask announced the launch of perpetual contract trading functionality, along with the MetaMask Rewards Program, which will launch at the end of October. MetaMask is introducing a points system and tiered rewards to reward on-chain trading activity. Users will earn points for every token swap and perpetual contract trade, as well as for referring others. In the future, users will also earn points for spending with the MetaMask card and holding mUSD, expanding rewards across the entire ecosystem. The rewards program, which runs quarterly over three months, offers rewards worth over $30 million in LINEA tokens, perpetual contract fee discounts, and point bonuses. Season 1 offers bonuses for redemptions on the Linea Network, as well as redemptions and bridge operations via MetaMask Mobile. Points accumulate into future seasons, which will offer more exclusive benefits, including the upcoming MetaMask token. Rainbow On September 23, according to official news, the Web3 mobile wallet Rainbow announced that it will issue the token RNBW in Q4. The specific airdrop and distribution details will be announced later by the official Twitter account. Football.Fun On October 9, according to the official news of Base chain sports prediction application Football.Fun, its parent company Sport.Fun will launch the token $FUN in Q4 and is expected to conduct an airdrop in Q4. The token will enjoy a share of the company's prediction market revenue. In addition, the platform also plans to expand its products to the basketball and football markets. Limitless On July 1, Cointelegraph reported that the Base chain prediction market Limitless completed a $4 million strategic round of financing, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, 1confirmation, Maelstrom, Collider, Node Capital, Paper Ventures, Public Works, Punk DAO and WAGMI Ventures. Limitless previously completed a $3 million seed round of financing, bringing its total financing to $7 million. The new funds will be used to prepare for the upcoming TGE. The latest points activity for this project will end in January next year, and there is a probability that TGE will be held in the first quarter of next year. Lighter On October 2nd, Perp DEX Lighter officially launched its Ethereum L2-based mainnet, fully opening up after eight months of private beta testing. The first quarter of the points program has concluded, with the second quarter running until the end of 2025. Currently, the probability on Polymarket that Lighter will issue tokens before 11:59 PM EST on December 31, 2025 is 84%. Grvt On October 8th, the decentralized perpetual swap trading platform Grvt announced on social media that the first quarter airdrop query has been launched, allowing users to view the airdrop distribution ratio. Early users and active contributors from the first quarter are particularly rewarded. The second season airdrop activity is still ongoing and the TGE is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2026.
