Blockchain technology is finding more and more uses. In particular, the process we call the tokenization of companies is progressing rapidly.

In parallel, companies/startups need platforms for both fundraising and tokenization. In this case, we come across Crypto Launchpads.

What is Crypto Launchpad?

A new DeFi/crypto/blockchain project uses different ways to raise funds and sell its tokens. Private sales, ICO, IEO or IDO are the most well-known ones.

When projects use their own websites to sell their tokens and raise funds, we call it an ICO. In this case, the control of all the funds collected will be in the hands of the team. It’s a risky option for many investors.

What is an IDO launchpad?

Projects sell tokens on crypto launchpads to give investors confidence. Because these platforms provide assurance to the investor at least in some matters. Projects also try to reach investors through launchpads.

We can basically divide these launchpads into two.

1-The first is IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) offered by centralized exchanges, such as Binance Launchpad. Platforms like Binance have very strict rules for IEO. Therefore, very few projects can use these platforms.

2-The second is IDO (Initial Dex Offering) offered by many platforms. In this article, we will examine the platforms that provide more IDO services.

There are really a lot of IDO launchpads out there. As the idopresales.com team, even we have a hard time keeping up.

So, which platforms do we follow to find good projects? Each platform has its pros and cons.

Also, each platform has its own rules. We can even call it confusing for those who are not very familiar with this business 🙂

Major IDO launchpads:

1-DxSale

2-PinkSale

3-Unicrypt

4-Polkastarter
