As the Atlantis ecosystem continues to grow, and the overall demand for our native tokens, AQUA and xAQUA increases, our focus stays exactly where it started: on the community driving it all forward.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our unique tier system: Atlantis Ranks.
Building on Sonic Labs, for us, means aligning with its core vision: returning value to the community. That’s why Atlantis will redistribute 100% of all launchpad fees back to the users who power the ecosystem.
Through Atlantis Ranks, AQUA and xAQUA holders gain access to revenue share from launches, early and discounted allocations, and governance rights over what comes next, and much more.
In the following article, we will break down how it works, and how you can make the most of it.
What Are Launchpad Ranks?
Launchpad Ranks are a tiered system that determines the perks you get during every token launch on Atlantis.
Depending on your rank, you’ll gain access to:
-
Exclusive allocations in FCFS, high-demand, sales
-
Access to discounted low-hard cap Private Sales
-
A percentage of the total fundraise amount
-
A percentage of the partner project’s native token
-
Access to exclusive Airdrops from partner projects
Your rank is calculated based on how much AQUA and xAQUA you hold, either in your wallet or staked through core Atlantis plugins.
How to Qualify for a Rank
It’s very straightforward: to qualify, you must hold or stake AQUA and/or xAQUA.
You’re eligible if your tokens are:
-
In your wallet
-
Staked in Treasures (25% of total protocol revenue share)
-
Staked in Trident Vaults (partner token’s farming)
However, if you’ve started the unlock process for xAQUA, those tokens won’t count toward your rank until fully unlocked. So if you're planning to participate in a launch, make sure your tokens are actively held or staked.
Snapshot Timing
We will take random snapshots before each token sale to determine your rank at that time.
There won’t be a set schedule, the randomness ensures the fairness of the process and discourages short-term manipulation.
The takeaway: if you want to be eligible, it’s best to keep your AQUA and xAQUA in place ahead of any launch announcements.
Conclusions
As with everything in Atlantis, transparency is key. We'll continue rolling out updates about the Launchpad Ranks, adding unique benefits to each rank and/or adjusting the required AQUA/xAQUA amount via our official channels.
If you’re participating in the Public Sale, you’re one step ahead. And if not, now’s the time to start building your position and get ranked.
And remember…
If it’s happening on Sonic, it’s happening on Atlantis. 🌊
