🧠 Topic: What is #Launchpad and how to participate in early-stage crypto sales: IDO, IEO, INO, and other formats

🚀 What is a Launchpad?
It is a platform for launching new crypto projects where investors can buy tokens at an early stage, before they hit the market.#cryptoland_88

#Launchpad ≈ "crypto-ICO 2.0", but more structured, safe, and with project filtering.

💡 Why participate?
✅ Buy tokens at a low price
✅ Get +X in case of project success
✅ Support an interesting idea with growth potential
✅ Often — access only through Launchpad (not through exchanges)

📦 Formats of crypto sales:

🔹 IDO (Initial DEX Offering)
— Token launch through a decentralized exchange (DEX)
— Examples: Polkastarter, DAO Maker, Poolz

🔹 IEO (Initial Exchange Offering)
— Launch on a centralized exchange (CEX)
— Examples: Binance Launchpad, OKX Jumpstart

🔹 INO (Initial NFT Offering)
— Presale of NFT collections
— Examples: Magic Eden, GameFi Launchpad

🔹 IGO (Initial Game Offering)
— Sale of game tokens or assets
— Examples: Seedify, Enjinstarter

🔧 Where to find Launchpads:

🌐 CEX (centralized):

#Binance Launchpad

Bybit Launchpad

KuCoin Spotlight

🌐 DEX / Web3:

DAO Maker

Polkastarter

TrustPad

📌 How to participate in a Launchpad project:

Complete verification (if CEX)

Buy/hold the required tokens of the platform (for example, $BNB or #DAO )

Stake them during the Launchpad period

Get an allocation (share of project tokens)

Purchase tokens → and wait for listing (or right away — to the moon 🚀)

⚠️ Risks and what to look out for:
🔸 Overvaluation of the project
🔸 Dump after listing
🔸 Lock-up/vesting of tokens (not all volume available immediately)
🔸 Reputation of the platform and project

Conduct #dyor :

Study the whitepaper, team, tokenomics

Check for the presence of an auditor

Don't jump into everything haphazardly

📌 Conclusion:
A Launchpad is a chance to enter a promising crypto project before everyone else, but it’s important to distinguish hype from potential. The platform does not guarantee success; you are your own venture investor.
