BuidlPad is a unique existence, a project launched by former CMC CEO @ErickNomad after the previous ICO god @coinlist did not perform well.
I previously asked him how frequently he wanted to conduct ICOs. He said that if there are no good projects, it is better not to launch at all. On the @Buidlpad platform, some users might find the KYC process too difficult and unfriendly, and the product still has much room for improvement. However, everyone who has collaborated with Erick praises his industry aesthetic, professionalism, and character.
Currently, the second phase of the platform has launched @SaharaLabsAI, which has already achieved a 60% premium on the whitelist within one day.
Earlier this year, their first project @Solayer_labs caused a sensation in the market as soon as it went online.
The ICO price of Solayer was $0.35, raising approximately $10 million in public funding, which was considered a type that was “slightly high in market cap, hard to judge” at that time.
But the result was:
In less than a month since its launch, it was listed on Binance and subsequently on many Tier 1 exchanges, reaching a peak price of $3.28, which means a 930% return on investment in just over 70 days.
Of course, Solayer didn’t soar all the way from the start; it did experience a dip at the opening, for a simple reason: early users cashing out, valuation disputes, and the market not being hot enough. However, this downturn actually washed out some short-term chips, laying the groundwork for the subsequent rise. Compared to the previous IDO price, as long as you didn't buy at the peak, you basically made a fortune.
From Narrative to realization speed, it has fully met the expectations of a “top-tier public offering”.
You should know that at that time, IDOs for general projects were usually very low. But Erick’s choice is always to select the best potential leading projects, rather than looking for the cheapest in the short term. Solayer came in with a 3.5 billion FDV, and the public was in a wait-and-see state, not expecting that it would later peak at nearly 7 billion in market cap.
So everyone waited to see the second project, but BuidlPad didn’t take advantage of the momentum to harvest. Instead, it took a full 5 months to release the second project — @SaharaLabsAI.
During this period, @BuidlPad also launched the jade card for Solayer that I mentioned in a previous tweet. It not only brings a 4% deposit return but also allows cardholders to earn @Solayer_labs points and additional rewards from partners when spending.
Additionally, users who have completed KYC with @Solayer_labs can directly enter @SaharaLabsAI’s sales interface with the jade card without needing to do KYC again.
It can be seen that @BuidlPad not only carefully selects projects but also truly empowers the “high-IQ user group” through a series of mechanisms — preferential cards, community incentives, project participation — deeply binding the platform and community together to co-build a high-quality ecosystem of long-term participation and mutual prosperity.
In conclusion, @BuidlPad adheres to the rhythm of “better to be short than to be wasteful,” and every project and batch of user qualifications are not randomly distributed benefits. Instead, they are carefully screened and released only after accumulating users and trust qualifications.
It is precisely because of this that what they produce is not just hype, but one after another special projects with structural and long-term value.
