Launchpad Development
Launchpad development is how crypto projects distribute tokens fairly while building early community. Our team has built DeFi protocols and exchanges handling significant value, giving us deep understanding of token economics, smart contract security, and what makes launches succeed. Whether you need an IDO platform, fair launch mechanism, or full-featured token launchpad with vesting and KYC, we build infrastructure that scales.
How Token Launchpads Work
Token launchpads connect projects with early supporters through structured token sales. Unlike informal presales, launchpads provide smart contract enforcement of terms, transparent allocation mechanisms, and automated distribution. Participants know exactly what they are getting and when.
The mechanics vary: some launchpads use first-come-first-served, others use lottery systems or tiered allocations based on staking. Fair launches give everyone equal access at the same price. Dutch auctions let the market discover the right price. Each mechanism suits different project goals and community expectations.
Beyond the sale itself, launchpads handle vesting schedules that release tokens over time, whitelist verification to control who can participate, and liquidity provisioning that ensures tokens are tradeable immediately after launch. We build all of these components as integrated systems.
Launch Mechanisms We Build
Different launch mechanisms serve different goals. We build IDO platforms, fair launch systems, tiered allocations, and price discovery auctions tailored to your project requirements.
IDO (Initial DEX Offering)
Decentralized token sales where participants purchase tokens directly through smart contracts. Configurable allocation tiers, overflow mechanisms, and automatic liquidity provisioning to DEXs post-launch.
Fair Launch
No presale, no team allocation advantages. Everyone gets the same opportunity at the same price. Anti-bot mechanisms, contribution limits, and randomized allocation to prevent whale domination.
Tiered Launch
Allocation based on staking tiers or participation levels. Higher commitment earns guaranteed allocation, while lower tiers participate in lottery systems. Flexible tier structures based on your tokenomics.
Dutch Auction
Price discovery mechanism where token price starts high and decreases over time. Participants bid at their desired price point. Efficient price finding that reduces speculation and promotes fair valuation.
Features We Build
A complete token launchpad requires more than sale contracts. Vesting, whitelisting, KYC, and anti-bot protection work together to create fair, compliant launches.
Token Vesting
Configurable vesting schedules with cliff periods, linear unlocks, and milestone-based releases. On-chain vesting contracts that give investors transparent visibility into token release timelines.
Whitelist Management
Merkle tree-based whitelisting for gas-efficient verification. Integration with KYC providers, social verification, and custom eligibility criteria. Dynamic whitelist updates without contract redeployment.
KYC Integration
Connection to identity verification providers like Synaps, Sumsub, or Jumio. On-chain attestations that preserve privacy while meeting compliance requirements for regulated jurisdictions.
Multi-Chain Support
Deploy launchpads across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Solana. Cross-chain participation where users can join sales from their preferred network.
Anti-Bot Protection
Captcha verification, wallet age checks, and transaction analysis to prevent bot participation. Rate limiting and contribution caps that give real users fair access.
Automatic Liquidity
Post-sale liquidity provisioning to DEXs. Configurable percentage of raised funds automatically paired with tokens and locked in liquidity pools. Time-locked LP tokens for investor confidence.
Technical Capabilities
Building launchpad infrastructure requires expertise in smart contract security, gas optimization, and handling edge cases that protect both projects and participants.
Smart Contract Architecture
Modular, upgradeable contracts for sale logic, vesting, and refunds. Factory patterns for deploying multiple sales. Emergency pause functionality and admin controls with multi-sig requirements.
Gas Optimization
Batch claiming, merkle proofs for whitelist verification, and efficient storage patterns. Users pay minimal gas whether they are claiming vested tokens or participating in sales.
Refund Mechanisms
Automatic refunds if soft cap is not reached. Overflow refunds for oversubscribed sales. Grace periods and claim windows that protect both project and participants.
Analytics Dashboard
Real-time sale progress, participant counts, and allocation distribution. Post-launch analytics including claim rates, vesting progress, and holder statistics.
Compliance Considerations
Token launches face regulatory scrutiny. We build launchpads with compliance infrastructure that helps projects operate responsibly.
Jurisdictional Restrictions
Geo-blocking and VPN detection for restricted jurisdictions. Terms of service enforcement and wallet screening against OFAC lists and known bad actors.
Investor Accreditation
For projects requiring accredited investor verification, integration with attestation services that validate investor status without exposing sensitive data on-chain.
Audit Preparation
We write launchpad contracts with external security audits in mind. Comprehensive test coverage, documented invariants, and clean code that auditors can review efficiently.
Why Hexmount for Launchpad Development
Building token launch infrastructure requires DeFi expertise, security focus, and understanding of tokenomics. Our track record demonstrates all three.
DeFi Protocol Experience
Our team built a decentralized exchange reaching $400M market cap and cross-chain lending protocols. Token launches are part of larger DeFi ecosystems, and we understand how they connect to liquidity, trading, and protocol growth.
Security-First Development
We were the founding engineering team for government-grade crypto custody systems. When launchpad contracts hold participant funds, security cannot be compromised. We build with audits in mind from day one.
White-Glove Service
We become part of your team for the duration of the project. Direct communication with senior engineers who understand both the technical requirements and the business context of successful token launches.
