Avalaunch is a launchpad for innovative projects on the Avalanche ecosystem, designed to offer fast, secure, and efficient decentralized fundraising. It aims to provide a seamless platform for blockchain projects to reach a wider audience and secure funding.
Avalaunch operates as a decentralized fundraising platform on the Avalanche blockchain. Users can participate in initial DEX offerings (IDOs) by owning and staking its native token, XAVA. This allows them to access public token sales and earn rewards. Avalaunch leverages the Avalanche consensus protocol to provide high throughput, decentralization, and fast finality, addressing limitations of traditional consensus mechanisms.
Potential use cases of Avalaunch include decentralised fundraising for blockchain projects, serving as a launchpad for projects in the Avalanche ecosystem, and enabling staking of XAVA tokens for access to public token sales. It also supports applications in DeFi, NFTs, and the metaverse sectors.
Avalaunch is built on the Avalanche blockchain platform. The Avalanche protocol was first shared in 2018 by the pseudonymous 'Team Rocket' and later developed by researchers from Cornell University. Significant milestones in its history include the release of its codebase as open source in March 2020, securing large investments in September 2021, and launching various technological advancements, such as Evergreen Subnets and AvaCloud. Avalanche has formed strategic alliances with major financial and tech institutions, strengthening its market presence.
