What is Binance Launchpad? How Binance Launchpad Works

What is Binance Launchpad?

Binance Launchpad is a platform that makes it possible for potential projects to raise capital through a process known as Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

Previously, blockchain projects had a lot of difficulty in staging their own Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to raise funds. Binance Launchpad has been launched to streamline and secure the process of raising capital from the cryptocurrency community, as well as eliminate the vulnerabilities and risks that previous ICO has faced.

Before a project implements IEO on the Binance Launchpad, Binance had a research and investigation team to ensure that the project has reached the right level of maturity, providing scalable infrastructure for the blockchain and cryptocurrency community.

Since 2019, Binance Launchpad has raised funds for more than 60 quality projects such as Polygon, Axie, WarzirX, Band Protocol, Cartesi, StepN,…

Binance Launchpad is part of Binance Earn’s financial products ecosystem – providing multiple solutions to generate passive income from cryptocurrencies for investors at the same time.

How Binance Launchpad Works

• Every month, Binance chooses an excellent project to raise capital.
• Binance will announce it on Twitter, Telegram, and the project will appear on the LaunchPad homepage.
• Binance will sell tokens through a lottery. 
• The token will be paid to the user, and BNB will deduct it from the account.
• Officially listing the transaction in that month.

Fair distribution of  token issuances

Binance Launchpad applies the lottery to its token allocations. After a new IEO is announced, the system will conduct a snapshot of the number of BNB holdings of potential investors over a certain period of time that varies depending on the sale.

After the end of the BNB holding period, the “ticket” receiving button will be displayed within 24 hours to the users. The user needs to confirm their lottery tickets after the lottery begins. The winner will be able to participate in the IEO issuance and can trade these new tokens to receive BNB. The amount of tokens that investors can hold will depend on the number of cryptocurrencies they have committed to and the individual limits of each one.

The application of this lottery mechanism to Launchpad is to ensure that the first token issuances will be accessible to as many people as possible. There’s no need to worry about only a handful of holders being able to hold the majority of the circulating supply.
