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 rank is the sum of the average values based on each crowdsale conducted on the specified fundraising platform. Among these values are: ROI and All-Time High ROI Raised amount compared to total funds raised on all launchpads during the specified timeframe Coefficient indicating whether the asset's price stays above or below the sale price during the first 7 days of trading Ratio of numbers of tokens sold to tokens released on TGE (Token Generation Event). Additionally, the ratio of the total crowdsales number on a specified launchpad during the specified timeframe to the total crowdsales number on all launchpads is used.
This way, the most active launchpads that offer users the best opportunities in terms of ROI, tokenomics, and accessibility will be valued with higher ranks. Please note that ranks can vary depending on different timeframes.
The TOP 10 launchpads must have held at least 20 IDOs overall, TOP 20 at least 10 IDOs, and TOP 30 at least 5 IDOs in order to be ranked.
Some IDOs might be excluded the rank calculation due to concerns about price manipulation.

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.
