How GnoSwap Launchpad Works

GnoSwap Launchpad allows you to acquire newly launched tokens without any payment, simply by staking $GNS tokens for a fixed period. Over the staking period, the Protocol Fee rewards are re-directed towards the project owners, while the stakers of the pool earn a fixed supply of project tokens pro-rata based on their share.

At the end of the staking period, the principal (in terms of the amount of $GNS staked) is returned to the staker, creating a "lossless" token launch experience.

To learn about the core concepts of GnoSwap Launchpad, visit the page.

1. Locate the Launchpad menu

Click on Launchpad in the header to visit the Launchpad page.

2. Search for Active Projects

Scroll down to find a list of Active Projects. The list includes upcoming or ongoing projects on GnoSwap Launchpad. Click on a project of your choice to proceed.

3. Select a pool

GnoSwap Launchpad offers three different types of pools by staking period: 1 Month, 3 Months, and 6 Months. Each pool comes with different allocations - typically longer staking periods will offer higher rewards.

Important Notes On Participating in Launchpad Pools

  • You will only receive the Launchpad project token as rewards during your Launchpad participation.

  • You CANNOT withdraw your deposit before the End Date of your pool.

  • No governance power will be attributed to the $xGNS tokens staked via Launchpad Pools.

Detailed information about the project including its overview, the realm path of the token, and official links can be found at the bottom of the page.

4. Review your participation

Once you select a pool and enter your amount, a confirmation pop-up will appear, allowing you to review your deposit. Carefully note the End Date and the Claim Availability Date, and click on Confirm to complete your deposit.

5. Claim your rewards

A full list of your participations will appear at the bottom right side of the page.

Your claimable rewards will be updated on a per-block basis. Note that the amount you receive will be proportional to your share of the pool. The accrued rewards can be claimed at any time, provided that the Claimable Date has passed.

Withdrawing Your Deposit

Your tokens are automatically unstaked at the end of the staking period. To redeem your principal, click on Claim All to withdraw your $GNS along with any unclaimed rewards.

The $GNS tokens you deposit are automatically staked to the Contract to start earning rewards, which are re-directed to the project owner.
