ZkSync is a Layer-2 protocol that uses cutting-edge ZK technology to scale Ethereum. Our goal is not just to enhance Ethereum’s throughput, but also to properly retain its core ideals – freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization – at scale.
With over 200 projects including Chainlink, SushiSwap, Uniswap, Aave, Argent, 1inch, Gnosis, and Curve showing interest to launch on the platform, Zksync is set to release the potential of the Ethereum blockchain.
Amongst the projects that have launched on Zksync are several crypto launchpads. Crypto launchpads are platforms that help launch new cryptocurrencies or tokens to the market. They provide services such as marketing, technical support, token sales, fundraising, and community building.
Examples of crypto launchpads include Binance Launchpad, Polkastarter, TrustSwap, and DAO Maker, which have helped to launch some of the most successful cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects in recent years.
Here’s a list of some popular crypto launchpads on the Zksync protocol:
Arbipad
Arbipad, formerly known as Metaversepad, is a multichain launchpad owned by Good Gaming Guild for metaverse and blockchain gaming projects. MetaversePad is designed to serve as a connection between the greatest metaverse gaming projects and the worldwide community, particularly investors and crypto gamers, through transparency and a fair distribution method. Today, they have integrated with Arbitrum and ZkSync.
The project which was released in Q1 2022, plans an $ARBI IDO on ArbiPad to allow participants to access ArbiPad. The IDO date is from 8th to 9th May 2023. It has attracted projects such as Bullieverse and is backed by investors – illuvium, LD Capital, Animaco Brands, and OKX Ventures.
eZKalibur
eZKalibur is a custom-built infrastructure comprised of a highly efficient and hyper-functional DEX designed to support the zkSync ecosystem by developing a flexible and sustainable liquidity strategy. It also has a Launchpad designed to support new protocols launching on zkSync by providing the tools required for their launch, liquidity creation, and growth.
By offering real applicable returns for all liquidity providers in the ecosystem through sustainable emissions techniques and novel tokenomics, new projects are given a chance to bootstrap their liquidity on zkSync.
zkBoost
zkBoost is an innovative launchpad and ecosystem built on zkSync ERA, offering a range of services to empower the decentralized finance (DeFi) community. The platform provides a secure, scalable, and user-friendly environment for launching blockchain projects with confidence.
The goal of the project is to revolutionize the DeFi space by providing a suite of tools and services that enable entrepreneurs, developers, and investors to participate in the new era of decentralized finance.
Gxypad
Galaxy is a blockchain company that develops, markets, and innovates in the field of decentralized finance. GxyPad is a decentralized Web3 platform designed to meet the needs of users in the rapidly growing field of decentralized finance for cryptocurrencies.
It offers multiple ways to raise funds, including whitelisting, private sales, and fair launch. GxyPad is dedicated to expanding the capabilities and opportunities in decentralized finance by aligning with Ethereum and utilizing the layer-2 scaling solutions of the zkSync network.
Zk launch
ZkLaunch will be a one-stop shop for projects, providing information, teams, token distribution, and reward systems. It is built on the ZkSync protocol. The first version of the launchpad is at the testing stage. With it, upcoming crypto projects can fundraise on zkSync Era with maximum gas efficiency and speed in a trustless, decentralized manner.
Array capital
Array is a launchpad that allows companies to raise financing on Arbitrum’s decentralized, permissionless, and interoperable ecosystem. Decentralized projects will be able to raise and trade funds with Array thanks to our fully integrated DEX.
Users will be able to engage in a safe and compliant environment, as well as employ assets that are far superior to the present ERC20 standard.
AnubisPad
AnubisPad is an Arbitrum & zkSync Era launchpad, DEX, and DAO platform. AnubisPad was deployed on the Arbitrum and zkSync Era networks, combining the technology and capability of both platforms to create a one-of-a-kind platform.
AnubisPad combines the following important features: Launchpad, DEX, and DAO, establishing a full ecosystem that aids in the incubation of new projects on Arbitrum and zkSync Era.
Dappad
Dappad is a decentralized platform leveraging the $Appa token to streamline access to high-quality projects. It ensures fair and transparent token allocations through a two-round system, addressing the limitations of existing launchpads.
It was created to solve the problem faced by traditional launchpads such as lack of accessibility due to high token acquisition costs and a lack of guaranteed allocation spots. Automated bots often fill whitelist spots within seconds, leading to unfair token distribution and restricting community access.
Other launchpads on Zksync are Erapad, Sigma Fund, ZkSyncpads, Spacefi, Zkrocket, ZkPad, and GenesisPad. If you are interested, you can check each of the projects as most of them are either about to carry out an airdrop or an IDO.
