About

Stake $BASED. Earn Launchpool Points. Receive project tokens.

Based Launchpool gives $BASED stakers early access to tokens from new projects launching in the Based ecosystem — before they reach the open market.

How It Works

1

Stake $BASED

Stake on basedfoundation.com/genesis to start earning Launchpool Points.

2

Earn Launchpool Points

Points accrue automatically based on the amount of $BASED you stake. No additional actions required.

3

Receive project tokens at TGE

When the featured project launches, your Launchpool Points convert pro-rata into the project's token allocation and are distributed directly to you.

The more $BASED you stake, the more Launchpool Points you earn. Every $BASED staking pool earns points at the same rate — there is no bonus emission for any specific pool.

Launchpool token allocations distributed by Based are fully unlocked at TGE. No vesting. No cliffs.

Why Launchpool Is Different

Most launchpads reward capital with lockups, vesting, and lottery allocations. Based Launchpool rewards staking directly. If you're already staked, you're already earning — no waitlists, no lottery, no extra steps.

The Launchpool Flywheel

Launchpool creates value in both directions.

For projects: Based has one of the most valuable user bases in the ecosystem — a large community of active users with meaningful $BASED staked and a strong restaking rate. Capital, conviction, and a mid- to long-term orientation. For strong builders, that kind of distribution and holder quality is extremely difficult to manufacture on their own.

For $BASED holders: instead of simply holding and waiting, stakers gain ongoing exposure to the builders, products, and revenue systems growing around Based — a second engine of upside, powered by the ecosystem itself.

Holders stake $BASED → strong projects want access to our distribution → Launchpool allocates meaningful access to holders → projects grow with aligned communities and strong support → more builders want to launch through Based → more users want to hold and stake $BASED.

As more strong projects choose to launch through Based, the value of the distribution increases. As that value increases, more users want to hold and stake $BASED to access future ecosystem upside. Over time, holding and staking $BASED becomes increasingly valuable — not because we say so, but because the ecosystem earns it.

Partner Points Campaigns

Launchpool projects may run their own points campaigns alongside Launchpool Points. These partner points are separate from Launchpool Points, and any tokens earned through a partner campaign are distributed directly by the partner under its own rules and schedule.

Participating in a partner campaign is optional and does not affect the Launchpool Points you earn from staking $BASED.
