@BuidlPad is a special existence. It is the project founded by former ICO god @coinlist, which later performed poorly, and the former Binance OG listing head & CMC CEO @ErickNomad.

I asked him before, what frequency do you want to achieve for your ICOs? He said that if there are no good projects, there is no need to launch at all. On the @BuidlPad platform, you could say that the KYC process is too difficult and not user-friendly for some users, and you could also say that the product still has a lot of room for improvement. However, Erick's aesthetic, professionalism, and character in the industry are praised by everyone who has collaborated with him.

Currently, the second phase of the platform has launched @SaharaLabsAI, and within just one day, 60% of the whitelist has already seen a premium in the secondary market.

Earlier this year, their first project @Solayer_labs made a huge splash in the market right after its launch.

The ICO price of Solayer was $0.35, with public financing of about $10 million, which at the time was considered to be of “slightly high market value, difficult to judge”.

But the result was:

In less than a month after going live, it was listed on Binance and subsequently on exchanges like Upbit and Kraken, reaching a peak price of $3.28, meaning an investment return of 930% within just over 70 days.

Of course, Solayer did not soar straight up at the beginning; it did experience a drop after opening. The reason was simple: early users cashing out, valuation disputes, and the market not being hot enough. However, this drop washed away some short-term tokens, laying the groundwork for a subsequent rise. Compared to the previous IDO price, as long as investors did not buy at the peak, they basically made a profit.

From narrative to cashing out speed, it completely fulfilled the expectations of a “top-tier public offering”.

You need to know that at that time, IDOs generally had very low prices. But @ErickNomad's choice is always to opt for the best potential leading projects rather than looking for who is cheap and good in the short term. Solayer directly came up with a 350 million FDV, and everyone was in a wait-and-see state, not expecting it to later soar to nearly 7 billion in market value.

So everyone was waiting to see the second project, but @BuidlPad did not take the opportunity to harvest. Instead, it took a full 5 months to launch the second project — Sahara AI.

During this time, @BuidlPad also launched the emerald card for Solayer, which I mentioned in my earlier tweets. It not only provides a 4% deposit return but also allows card users to earn @Solayer_labs points and additional rewards from partners when spending.

Moreover, users who have passed KYC at @Solayer_labs can directly access the sales interface of @SaharaLabsAI with the emerald card without needing to go through KYC again.

It can be seen that @BuidlPad is not only genuinely selecting projects but also continuously empowering the “high-IQ user group” through a series of mechanisms — privilege cards, community incentives, project participation — truly deepening the binding between the platform and the community, building a high-quality ecosystem for long-term participation and mutual prosperity.

Lastly, I want to say that @BuidlPad adheres to the rhythm of “better to be short than to be excessive”, where every project and every batch of user qualifications are not casually thrown out as benefits. Instead, they are signals released only after carefully screening, accumulating users, and establishing trust qualifications.

Because of this, what they produce is not just heat but one special project after another with structural and long-term value.
