Well, I just realized, participating in launchpads isn't as hard as many people think. I used to believe that we have to go through hard procedures to buy specific tokens at a cheap rate. Well this isn't the case though.

Basically launchpads are here for a reason, why? Well people like to be as early as possible on a new project, that's why launchpad provides a way to get tokens at a cheap rate using USDT or any exchange tokens in CEX. For example if you have been seeing some projects launched on Binance Launchpad, one of the projects was ARKHAM, which was priced 0.12$ in BNB according to the 244$ in Jul 2023. Imagine now, people who invested only 1$ in BNB got roughly like 21 ARKHAM from the launchpad, and the price of ARKHAM back then was around 0.60$, so that's total 12.6 USDT. And so your profit in total is 11.6$.

You can see the 10x return here right? I also earned some good profits from Bitget launchpad, last year they had TonUP
that required BGB. So I committed 1000 BGB as it's about $655 and they just deducted only around 4.742 BGB, which is worth 3.1$ and I got 29.35 UP, and sold it at 0.83$, getting 19.19$. The profit was 16$. So can you see the calculation of how my investment profits went up at least 5x?

At least they have another one coming, $BWB launchpad. I'll be looking forward to committing some USDT or BGB again, so I would share the results with you all again.

Anyways I'm not saying launchpads are safe, they do have risks. So I suggest you to do your own research and invest responsibly. But imo launchpads offer significant potential returns and I feel they're safer than presales.

What are your thoughts on launchpads?

Launchpad is good as long as you have big amounts of capital.

Almost all of launched in the CEX would be giving you very nice ROI. Even some did hundreds or thousands times return for your investment. The only problem is now, is it worth with the time? I meant some launchpad is also relying upon your luck.

It's caused by the lottery system that being implemented in the launched. You can take a look at the picture above. It's clearly said that if so many exchange sites gave decent returns on their launchpad.

The worthiness if launchpad totally depends on your capital. The bigger your capital. The more allocation for you.

No matter how low or high it is, it is still profit, and it is up to us traders or investor on how we would take advantages of those free coins that we get by staking.
I always hold my reward for few days or till I am satisfied with it's price, then sell it to add it on what I stake to earn more.

Catching a project early on definitely is something a lot of investors would want. It can offer a much bigger profit compared to when you buy it when it has some value already. Though both are risky since you are literally betting with not much information about the project.
I think they’re good but you have to be careful and look for only reputable and reliable platforms.

I know about this strategy, hold some main coins of CEX and participate in various incentive programs like launchpad/lauchpool... But in reality it still has risks forcing us to accept to participate in play, but forms of access to leading CEX such as binance, okx, htx, ftx, coinlist... in addition to things like IDO also provide profit opportunities. And more and more there will be many different forms of access such as holding certain coins, or NFTs,... but in retrospect, in the period of rising prices, the competition is always fierce but opportunities still exist for everyone. if there is an effective approach strategy.

If we are talking about Tier 1 project, if you are average user, investing in such project is not available. You should be angel investor or VC fund, so the launch pad can be good option!

But you need to a lot money, for qualified.

As you know, you need filled money in the pools for (Binance). The biggest win is always (VC), If you can entered fundraising with (VC) who are investing with the project directly not by pool exchange.

You can maximize profit with prize token more cheaper, usually 2-3x time unlock already make your money has been spending.

This must be done to qualify and it's not that small money, in some exchanges it requires a huge a month just to be more profitable with the launchpad.
Binance is the top option for this and if the project will have their launch in Binance, many big investors are rushing to stake to qualify and this is the big challenge for retail investors because they only get small and some amount are not worth the stake.

I have heard of these launchpad but I haven't participated in them till now because I cannot find time to dig deep into their usecae and how they actually make you the profits what the power behind that until then I don't invest in any project.

A friend of mine investment into a launchpad and got some profit thats when I heard of them. I hope one day to participate and get a hand on experience.

Yes, launchpads are ways to make real profit but the influx of these launchpad paltform recently is a concern. The exchanges launchpad are better because they do not offer any vesting terms unlike some of these stand alone launchpads, most oftheir tokens are low float, high FDV before the tokens are fully released you would have been diluted.

Even with a $5000 capital on the Binance launchpad it is not enough in the sense that getting it will only be a little because the popes have entered by risking their big money here so for us this will not be strong unless looking for a launchpad on another exchange that limits the amount of capital.

So far it is very rare to participate in any launch pad because it is quite large for the capital spent while it is still better if you bet stablecoins even if it is low APY in contrast to BNB which is high but BNB has a downside risk when the launch pad is completed usually they will sell after that.

Nah! I don't think you have to break a bank. At least I've seen BWB Launchpad requirements which is currently running on Bitget like in their previous launchpads. You're required to hold a certain amount of USDT in your exchange account, often between $20 to $100 to qualify just like in regular presales where there's a peg to a minimum and maximum amount to invest. The difference in the launchpad like in BWB, the more BGB or USDT you commit, the bigger your share.

Launchpads are actually great and the results of projects launched on Launchpads are usually good but it's mostly so during a bull run. The reason why most people don't participate in launchpads including myself is due to the fact that the barrier to entry is usually high. Some platforms have ridiculous rules that make it harder to participate in launchpads sales on their platform. For instance, most launchpads twill require that you hold a minimum amount of their native token that might get dumped over the course of the sales.

I've participated in a few binance launchpad launches and all the key factor to determine if you'll qualify for a ticket or not is how much funds in BNB you have locked. More $ value worth of BNB staked means better chances of winning

Don't say the phrase "THEY DO HAVE RISKS" because everything in investing has risks. :)
Anyway, joining in launchpads have a risk because in this way, you're like storing your asset (which is BNB or BGB) in their exchange, and we know that storing huge amounts of money in an exchange is never safe, right?

That's the risk, but if you don't care about it and you trust the exchange more than you trust others then there's no problem. At the end of the day, launchpads are profitable - for whales. For average investors? Well, it's kind of like free money because you just staked your asset on their exchange and wait to earn some free tokens. If you're a holder of either BNB or BGB, this serves as a double-purpose as you are waiting for the token to appreciate and at the same time, you are earning free tokens through these launchpads.

Overall, whether you are a whale holding huge amounts of these exchange tokens, or just an average investor who is holding small amount, you will really make profits.

That is what I do too. Holding it for some time waiting for a greater gain but if it goes south and I'm losing instead of making, I'd just dump it asap. But most of the rewards that I've got with the launchpads, I'm happy with them despite that I don't have a lot of funds in there with my stable coins or with BNB, they're very rewarding and I am happy with that because you don't get free money on the streets and I wouldn't complain with that.

They are good because the project launched in it is already guaranteed to be in the market shortly but this is only applied to project in exchange launchpad. But they have too many rules like whitelist only for people who stake their token and then even limited by share, that is too cumbersome for me. Better to invest in regular launchpad or directly in the token website

launchpad was always great if its sponsored by the big launching platform like binance, back then I think launchpad is really profitable because most of people still don't have idea, but after sometime and many people realize they can get easy money from launchpad, or some kind, suddenly there's massive flow of investment going in, everyone wanted that piece of cake so the launchpad platform decide to go with various counter measure to keep the participant controlled so to control the reward distribution and keep it from being too little.

but as always thing like this doesn't last forever now the trend shifted its spotlight toward launchpool where you just need to stake and get share of the coin instead of needing to buy or convert your coin to another.
which honestly may be better off for people since they just risking themselves for volatility not for a coin that may tank its price upon launches though most of the time they just pumping instead, but its definitely taking the direction for the better.
right now only people that have millions of dollars in their wallet and able to afford to stake their money for the period of few months that gonna make real money through the use of these launchpool platform.
same thing with binance, bybit, bitget, sometime the campaign limits the amount staked too but most of the time it won't do a thing because the participant will still many.

So in short they are always good when there's not much participant, when there's too much though, we better off finding some other opportunity out there.
but its still okayish investment so far, just don't expect the reward to be consistent throughout the entire year following series of launchpools.

I bring you an example about how worthless launchpad for the little shrimps. I meant look at how many BNB fully committed by the launchpad participants. They are committing millions BNB. Imagine when there was limited amounts of token available for launchpad. You were only owning small amounts of money to participated in.
It's very useless to do that. I meant you may be participating in the launchpad with less participants in it. That will be very different when it comes to the launchpad on the big exchange sites like binances.

More than a hundred thousand people joined. I think that is not even worth with our result. I have seen my friend who got a dollar. People must be thinking once again before participate in the launch. As long as you have big capital and you can get a lot of money
The small participants won't be profitable enough from participating in this kind of event. I have tried by myself. It's not all of launchpad is also guaranteeing its participants as well.

I'll say it's worth the time..you're only committing a token for a particular period so I don't see it as hassles..cos of the lowest barrier to entry switched from Binance to Bitget launchpads and would you say this roi isn't worth it? I'm eager to see what BWB pulls..

For some investors, that is their definition of being good but IMO that's not enough. What if the project doesn't have a good use case or Fundamental? Many aren't still going to invest on it and its value are still going to be small, then later on it will still get de-listed. OP said investing in Launchpad is easy but I can believe you more when you say it isn't because this is also what I read before even if I'm not investing on it.

This is another reason on why it's not worth it for some projects that we mistakenly think its good. Buying on the website directly is I think also strict a little bit but someone can face all of these as long as they can buy early at a cheaper price.

lets be honest here most of people that trades don't really care about fundamental or whether it gonna have use case, there are plenty of layer 2 project already but people keep creating it because its the hype, can't really care about fundamental if the narrative just stuck and the money circulating is also stuck, I personally when it comes to following launchpad as long as its already being sponsored to be listed in big exchange I already consider such coin to be good enough for short term investment, if we are talking about long term and fundamental surely we gonna choose bitcoin and ethereum instead its more obvious with its future and certainty while most of these altcoin that are in launchpad are mostly just some test and experiment just to create something for the sake of creating something which usually doesn't have any innovation besides the gimmicky TPS improvement whatsoever or trying to make transaction cheaper through the use of their blockchain but usually thats just all.

despite of that, people are still staking money in these platforms by the millions because they know that due to current trending narrative that is being pushed by many institutional investors including VCs and all, we can't deny the fact that the money is circulating there and we just want that little share.
so yeah, use case and fundamental is irrelevant at this point its not even worth mentioning when we are talking about new project that potentially could give us money but having fundamental and use case definitely a plus point.

I have participated in multiple launchpad project in both Binance and Bitget but to be honest we need to have good investment amount in order to gain significantly else you will only get few tokens which wouldn't even worth $10 or $20. But, again these are like free money you get and moreover if we are hesitant to lock the CEC tokens then we have an option of USDT as well we can commit USDT. This will help us earn some money.

Launchpads? Well, you can invest while it’s still very early but I think that launchpads can be risky. I mean… investing in new altcoins is generally risky. So do not invest a lot because of the platform. Do your research, build your faith with the platform and then you can invest your money based on how much you’re moved to invest and how much you can lose. I’m saying cause I’ve lost money before.

exactly. It is just not for the shrimp like me. With $100 now i will get nothing while in the og ICO i can get $100 worth of token. It is not about the profit of the token in launch but about how much you are allowed to buy that token

I do have to mention it, though, since I don't want to be responsible for someone's losses, lol. And I agree with you that everywhere we go has some sort of risk. It doesn't mean you are safe all the time, haha.

Anyway, back to the launchpad, I was just sharing my experiences with Bitget and Binance. It's not a launchpool, though, so you can't call it "staking," at least in my opinion. For example, the current launchpad will take your BGB and give you BWB instead at the rate they record after the investment period starts.

So, in this example, if you hold the asset you receive, you might see the price go up over time with the project's ecosystem improvements. And that's entirely up to you if you wanna hold or not.

It's free money, but it's normal that the higher your commitment the bigger the coin share you get.. talking of launchpads. I noticed bwb launchpad commitment periods starts in few mins. Considering that?

IEOs have eliminated many of the problems of ICOs. In the past, there were many scams through ICOs. IEOs created a safer opportunity for investors under the supervision of exchanges. Both Binance's launchpools and launcpads have been the most profitable organizations recently. However, I see it as a bit of a contradiction that new projects that come to the market with the aim of bringing the ideal of decentralization to a more important point are going public in centralized systems. We are all happy that we have the chance to make a lot of money in the short term, but we are in a contradiction...

Launchpool and launchpad has gradually gained popularity than ICOs due safety but I still feel the reward rate should be a bit increased. Something that should commensurate with assets commitment. No doubt Binance has been doing well but I still feel Bitget should be second on the chart cos their launchpool and launchpad have produced a decent ROI since inception.
