The IceCreamSwap team is proud to announce the release of our ICEPAD, a Multichain LaunchPad for clean, transparent and secured launching of projects on Core Dao Network.

What is a LaunchPad?

Launchpad is a platform that serves as an incubator for new projects. It helps in the introduction of new projects to the community and also serves as a means of raising funds through the initial contributions by early users/investors.

About IceCreamSwap LaunchPad:

The ICEPAD is one of the special innovative projects developed by the IceCreamSwap Team as part of its Usecase and utility. The ICEPAD will serve as a Fundraising startup for projects launching on Core Dao Network. The ICEPAD was designed with two keywords at heart “Transparency and Fund security”. New projects will undergo screening/verification process i.e Know Your Customer (KYC). This verification process will help to identify project founders/owners and will go a long way in preventing Rug-pulls and Fuds thereby ensuring that users/investors Funds are SAFU.

NB: token sales on IceCreamSwap launchpads is transparent as all transactions are recorded on Core Dao blockchain, therefore it’s easy to keep track of the distribution method for each token. It also encourages the even distribution of tokens among investors/users.

How Does the IceCreamSwap LaunchPad Work:

The IceCreamSwap LaunchPad utilizes a unique model for IDO (Initial Dex Offering ), which ensures even distribution of the tokens based on the projects tokenomics.

Softcap and Hardcap models were also incorporated into the LaunchPad system. Projects will first undergo proper KYC through the newly invented IceCreamSwap Team verification system “The Soulbound Verifier”. After the verification, projects partnership announcement will be made and the IDO date will be fixed. The IceCreamSwap team will ensure that only projects with utilities are listed on the ICEPAD.

Once token sale is live on the ICEPAD, users can participate by connecting their wallet, $ICE token will be the main token for IDO contribution.

When IDO is complete, tokens are distributed and claimable by wallet addresses that participated in the sale. The amount of tokens distributed can vary depending on the amount of ICE the user contributed during the IDO.

For instance:

A user contributes 100 $ICE during the IDO, at a presale price of 1 ICE for 10 XToken, the user is suppose to receive 1000 XToken after the sale.

To participate in the LaunchPad IDOs:

- Users/Investors will go to the IceCreamSwap Dex website (https://IceCreamSwap.com), change the network to CORE NETWORK and then connect wallet (MetaMask preferably).

- Users/Investors must ensure that they have ICE token for the launchpad contribution.

NB: There is a minimum and maximum amount of ICE a wallet can contribute, this is to prevent excessive contribution by a single wallet which can lead to Pump-and-Dump if the wallet decides to sell.

- Once the IDO is live, users/investors can now contribute their desired amount of ICE token by clicking the “Buy now” button and approving the Metamask pop-up.

- After a successful IDO, users/investors can claim their token by clicking the “CLAIM” Button and approving the metamask pop-Up, which will be sent directly to the wallet used for the IDO.

Benefits of Utilizing IceCreamSwap Launchpad:

Apart from designing the UX/UI of the LaunchPad to be user-friendly and lag-free. other benefits of the IceCreamSwap Launchpad include:

- Fund Raising: The ICEPAD provides founders and creators with a new way of raising funds required to run their projects, thereby encouraging the growth of the Core Dao ecosystem.

- No Listing Fees: Listing of Projects on ICEPAD is totally free once the projects meets the criteria for listing on IceCreamSwap LaunchPad (verification).

- Fund Security: IceCreamSwap Team vet projects and founders thoroughly, through its newly invented KYC Model (SoulBound), thus creating a safer platform for everyone involved. It’s also unlikely that a breach would occur because investors have absolute ownership of their assets, and launchpads do not store user funds at all.

- Early-Stage Investment Opportunity: ICEPAD provides users/investors the opportunity of engaging and investing in project at the lowest price and benefit from the most gains once the project is listed at a price higher than the presale price.

- Community-Building: Project that utilizes the IceCreamSwap Launchpad will benefit from the large IceCreamSwap community, other programs like AMAs with the new project can be organized to help increase the publicity of the projects in Core Dao ecosystem.

- MultiChain Compatibility: IceCreamSwap is a multichain Dex, therefore, projects that utilize the ICEPAD can also make use of the multichain features of the Dex, such that the project’s token can be ported to other chains supported by IceCreamSwap Dex (XDC, BitgertChain, Fuse, DogeChain, Bsc).
