Galaxy Pad - Launching Vetted Project Tokens onto zkSync

April 9th, 2023

Introduction

Galaxy Pad, or GxyPad, is an innovative and flexible launchpad that supports the expansion of the zkSync blockchain ecosystem. As a launchpad, GxyPad is designed to provide projects with options for raising funds, minting, and locking tokens. Of course, that also means that it provides the average zkSync user with a sleek and seamless interface for investing in presale tokens.

All projects must pass a strict internal platform review before being approved by Galaxy for launch. In this way, GxyPad protects its users while expanding the zkSync ecosystem with projects that benefit the ecosystem as a whole.

Ultimately, GxyPad envisions expanding the core functionality of zkSync dApps that align with the Ethereum vision while providing opportunities for cunning early investors, all wrapped within our favorite zero-knowledge rollup.

The Galaxy Launch Process

GxyPad provides multiple solutions for projects to raise capital, presenting various opportunities for investors of different commitment levels and portfolio sizes. Potential GxyPad investors are wise to stay informed about the four phases that precede each token launch: Whitelist Presale, Public Presale, Private Presale, and Fair Launch.

The first one is probably not what you think it is...

Whitelist Presale

Members of the Galaxy Club have the opportunity to apply for whitelist spots for each project launch. Membership to Galaxy Club is awarded to community members who participate in official GxyPad community events, and also to users who stake GXY, the Galaxy Pad governance token. The best way to ensure your early admission to the Galaxy Club is to interact with Galaxy communities. Be sure to participate frequently in Discord, Telegram, and Twitter.

Whitelisted Club members have the opportunity to participate in the whitelist presale of each specific launch on GxyPad. The Whitelist Presale phase has a fixed softcap and hardcap, minimum and maximum contributions, and is only available for a limited timeframe. After the Whitelist Presale ends, the public presale begins.

Public Presale

Public Presale resembles Whitelist Presale structurally. It has a softcap and a hardcap, min and max contribution amounts, and a limited timeframe for investment. Be aware that, depending on the project's popularity, these presales may sell out extremely quickly.

Slow fingers? Don’t fret! The best opportunity for GxyPad launches is the Private Presale, available only to a limited number of Galaxy Club members per launch.

Private

Each project has the option to raise funds through a private sale, offering Galaxy Club members and private investors token allocation at an unbeatable price premium. To earn this elite position, be sure to stay perpetually active in the Galaxy Club communities. Presale allocation is extremely sought-after, and only the most devoted Galaxy Club members are rewarded with this opportunity.

Fair Launch

Once all the presale phases have concluded, the project token is ready to launch into the open market! GxyPad uses a proprietary Fair Launch system to ease hot-off-the-press tokens into stable circulation.

Fair Launches take place within a specific period of time, usually from hours to days.

Each Fair Launch assumes a presale soft-cap of $50,000. When that volume is exceeded, Fair Launch enters its price discovery phase, where each additional purchase incrementally raises the price per token.

The true launch price of the token is determined by the final price per token when the Fair Launch timeframe expires. Every Fair Launch investor user receives tokens at that same price, regardless of how early or late they invested in this final phase.
