How it works?
The Mechanics Behind the Launch
The DeFive Launchpad is designed to be modular, secure, and aligned with the long-term vision of both new projects and the DeFive ecosystem. Here's how the process unfolds step by step:
🟩 1. Project Onboarding
Before any launch begins, projects go through a lightweight but meaningful screening process:
Teams submit tokenomics, roadmap, and launch details.
DeFive reviews for sustainability, vesting fairness, and allocation structure.
If the team allocation exceeds 10%, basic KYC verification is required to proceed.
A portion of the project’s total token supply (e.g., 5–15%) is allocated for launchpad rounds.
This ensures DeFive only supports quality projects with clear intentions and aligned incentives.
🟦 2. Structuring the Launch: Two-Round Format
Each token launch is divided into two distinct rounds, designed for fairness, transparency, and aligned participation.
🛡️ Genesis Round: Early Access
Reserved for top veFIVE holders only or partnered options
Limited supply of tokens offered at a discounted price.
Users can participate using USDC (or occasionally stable-like assets).
Allocation is based on veFIVE tier — the higher your tier, the more you can buy.
This round is closed and exclusive, creating meaningful early exposure for committed users.
🛡️ Momentum Round: The Expansion
Open to all.
Users can participate using USDC, $S, or staked $S, depending on the project.
A portion of this round’s raise is allocated to DeFive as protocol revenue.
All revenue is used to buy back $FIVE and burn it — contributing to the deflationary model of the ecosystem.
🔓 3. Liquidity Locking
To protect users and ensure healthy post-launch markets:
Projects are required to allocate a portion (e.g., 10%) of Round 1 raised funds into a liquidity pool.
This LP is locked for a minimum of 6 months by DeFive.
This mechanism adds rug-proofing, trust, and long-term stability for new tokens.
🔥 4. Buyback, Burn & veFIVE Utility
The system doesn’t just raise funds — it feeds the core of the DeFive economy:
Platform revenue from each launch goes back to community.
A large portion of platform revenue is burned, permanently reducing supply and sustaining yields.
Optionally, a portion may be directed to create staking incentives for the new token or community farming on DeFive.
Participation is always tied to veFIVE, reinforcing the long-term staking system and giving real utility to locked $FIVE holders.
🧩 5. Optional Project Extensions
After a successful launch, projects can:
Launch single-staking pools on DeFive to build further traction.
Continue co-marketing with the DeFive team and community.
Receive support in onboarding to Sonic-native integrations (wallets, explorers, tools, etc.).
DeFive Launchpad is more than a place to mint tokens. It’s a structured, value-aligned, ecosystem-first engine — where new projects are launched with purpose, liquidity is protected, and every launch leaves the $FIVE economy stronger than before.
