BuidlPad is a special existence, born from the failed performance of the former ICO god @coinlist. Later, it became the project initiated by the former Binance OG listing head & CMC CEO @ErickNomad.
I previously asked him, what frequency do you want to achieve for your ICO? He said, if there are no good projects, then there’s no need to issue them continuously. On the @Buidlpad platform, you could say that the KYC card is too difficult and unfriendly for some users, or you could say that the product has a lot of room for improvement. However, Erick's industry aesthetics, professionalism, and character are praised by everyone who has collaborated with him.
Currently, the second phase of the platform has launched @SaharaLabsAI, which has already seen a 60% premium on the whitelist in just one day.
Earlier this year, their first project @Solayer_labs created a sensation in the market as soon as it went live.
The ICO price of Solayer was $0.35, raising about $10 million in public financing, which at the time was considered a type with "slightly high market value, hard to judge."
But the result was:
Within less than a month of going live, it was listed on Binance, and later on many Tier 1 exchanges, reaching a peak price of $3.28. This means that in just over 70 days, the investment yielded a return of 930%.
Of course, Solayer did not soar right from the beginning; it dropped initially after opening for a simple reason: early users cashed out, valuation disputes, and the market was not hot enough. However, this drop washed out some short-term chips, laying the groundwork for the subsequent rise. Compared to the previous IDO price, as long as it wasn't the peak price, investors basically made a fortune.
From Narrative to cash-out speed, it fully met the expectations of "top-tier public offerings."
You should know that at that time, IDOs generally had very low projects. But Erick's choice is always to select the best possible leading large projects, rather than looking at who is cheap and good in the short term. Solayer directly came with a 350 million FDV, and the public was in a wait-and-see state, not expecting it to later reach a market value of nearly 7 billion.
So everyone was waiting to see the second project, but BuidlPad did not take advantage of the heat to harvest. Instead, it took a full 5 months to release the second project—@SaharaLabsAI.
During this period, @BuidlPad also launched the Emerald Card for Solayer that I mentioned in my previous tweets. It not only brings a 4% deposit yield but also allows card usage to earn @Solayer_labs points and additional rewards from partners.
In addition, users who have passed the KYC at @Solayer_labs and obtained the Emerald Card can directly access the sales interface of @SaharaLabsAI without needing to undergo KYC again.
It can be seen that @BuidlPad not only meticulously selects projects but also genuinely empowers the "high IQ user group" through a series of mechanisms—preferential cards, community incentives, project participation—deepening the binding of the platform and community, building a high-quality ecosystem for long-term participation and co-construction.
Lastly, I want to say that @BuidlPad adheres to the rhythm of "better to have fewer than to have shoddy ones." Every project and every batch of user qualifications are not randomly handed out as benefits. Instead, they are carefully screened, after accumulating users and trust qualifications, only then released as a signal.
Because of this, what they produce is not just popularity but again and again special projects with structural and long-term value.
