what's star.fun?
StarDot is a decentralized token launchpad platform designed to facilitate initial coin offerings (ICOs) and fundraising for crypto projects in a transparent, community-driven manner. It features live streaming events called "The Shot™," where teams pitch their projects to panels of industry experts, receive real-time feedback, and conduct sales directly on the platform. This setup allows for interactive engagement, enabling investors to participate in first-come, first-served raises with minimum thresholds and maximum caps to ensure structured funding rounds. The platform incorporates investor-friendly mechanics, such as vesting schedules with performance kickers, where participants earn a share of token trading fees airdropped to their wallets during the vesting period. Withdrawals are restricted post-purchase to maintain commitment, and the model emphasizes democratizing access to capital for founders while allowing retail investors to join early-stage opportunities. StarDot positions itself as an alternative to traditional venture capital, fostering competition in the launchpad space by prioritizing quality projects and live vetting. By integrating with ecosystems like Solana, StarDot aims to streamline token launches, reduce barriers for emerging teams, and create value through curated selections and automated incentives. Its approach balances gated, high-quality raises with broader participation, potentially influencing broader crypto fundraising narratives.
Star.fun's Fairscale token sale is scheduled for 2026-01-19.
