What Is StarLaunch?

StarLaunch is a decentralized IDO (Initial DEX Offering) launchpad built on Solana. It allows projects to conduct token sales to early supporters while giving community members a structured process to participate in fundraising rounds before tokens list on the open market.

How StarLaunch Works

StarLaunch uses a staking-based access model. Users stake STARS, the platform’s native token, to earn allocation weight for upcoming IDO rounds. Stakers are grouped into tiers based on the amount staked, with higher tiers receiving larger guaranteed allocations. This model aims to reward long-term participants over opportunistic buyers who might otherwise drain allocations.

IDO Structure and Token Distribution

Projects that launch through StarLaunch go through a vetting process before being approved. Once approved, the project sets the token price, the total amount to raise, and the vesting schedule. Participants purchase tokens during the sale period and typically receive them in tranches over time rather than all at once, which helps reduce immediate sell pressure after the token goes live.

STARS Token

STARS is StarLaunch’s native governance and access token. It determines a holder’s tier and allocation size in IDO rounds. Beyond access, STARS holders can participate in governance votes on platform parameters and which projects are approved for launch.
