Introduction

Our Drive

In recent years, blockchain project fundraising has become increasingly skewed against retail investors. Initially, in 2013, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) were introduced to "decentralize" the fundraising process, enabling broader participation in early investment opportunities. However, with the rise of Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) and Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), the process has shifted towards greater "centralization." Early token allocations are now dominated by venture capitalists and private investors, leaving retail investors with limited access and inflated fully diluted valuations (FDVs).

This shift has created an environment characterized by low liquidity and high FDVs, where projects launch with overinflated valuations, often forcing retail investors to purchase tokens at overpriced levels.

ThrustPad is leading a movement to re-decentralize blockchain fundraising through an innovative ILO model. Our mission is to bring back HIGH-FLOAT, LOW-FDV opportunities for retail investors while ensuring seamless fundraising and liquidity deployment for projects. We are dedicated to building a fairer and more efficient ecosystem for all participants.

ThrustPad

We are excited to introduce our revolutionary ThrustPad's Initial Liquidity Offering (ILO) solution. With ThrustPad, investors contribute funds while projects provide their tokens. These tokens and funds are then locked as liquidity on decentralized exchanges such as SailFish.

Unlike traditional ICOs, IEOs, or IDOs, where investors receive project tokens directly, ThrustPad offers investors locked liquidity positions, adhering to the project’s predefined locking and vesting schedules.

ThrustPad brings immediate advantages to both projects and investors:

• Instant Liquidity at Launch: Projects benefit from immediate liquidity, while investors avoid holding idle locked tokens.

• Additional Yields for Investors: Investors can earn yields from liquidity provider (LP) fees.

• Guaranteed Liquidity for Exits: Deep liquidity at launch allows investors to exit gradually as prices rise, similar to a TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) order, which helps reduce selling pressure.

• Strong Commitment from Both Parties: Projects and investors both contribute to the project’s initial liquidity, demonstrating a shared commitment.

Uniquely, ThrustPad ensures that 75% of the funds raised are locked as liquidity, while the remaining 25% is available to support the project’s development as we understand the difficulties projects face.

With ThrustPad, we are redefining blockchain fundraising by creating a fair, efficient, and mutually beneficial ecosystem for all stakeholders.

Services

Initial Liquidity Offering (ILO)

Our ILO/presale service designed to meet the needs of both investors and developers, offering flexible options that allow creators to customize their presales while maintaining transparency for investors.

In addition to standard features, we provide audit and KYC badges when conducted by our whitelisted partners, giving users extra assurance about the presales they wish to join.

Liquidity Lockers

When developers list their tokens on decentralized exchanges, they receive LP tokens for adding liquidity to the pool. However, if these LP tokens are unlocked, there’s a risk that developers could drain the liquidity and run off with investors' funds. This is where Liquidity Lockers become crucial. This is to protect investors from such risks, ensuring a safer investment environment. The locked tokens remain in a smart contract for a specified period, preventing the withdrawal of liquidity from the pool until the set unlock date.

Token Vesting

Token Vesting functions similarly to Liquidity Locking but applies to regular tokens. It enables the locking of a specified number of tokens for a set period, preventing developers from impacting price action by selling their tokens all at once (or at all). This promotes sustainable project growth by demonstrating the team's commitment to the community.

Once tokens are vested, they cannot be withdrawn or moved until the designated unlock date has passed.

Staking

Our staking contract and UI enable developers to create custom staking pools, allowing their communities to stake their preferred tokens and reward them with tokens of their choice through reward pools.

Airdrop

Airdrop service is also a part of ThrustPad as this allows projects to distribute tokens directly to a targeted audience. This service helps creators boost engagement, expand their community, and increase visibility by rewarding users with tokens, ensuring a smooth and efficient distribution process.
