Entering the competitive crypto landscape with a bang, the BlastUP launchpad, built on the L2 protocol, Blast, has garnered a lot of attention. And, after securing an impressive $8 million in pre-launch capital, officially introducing the $BLASTUP token to the market and listing it on popular exchanges, Bitget and MEXC, and successfully launching 3 IDOs, BlastUP only expanded its presence.
With its “Grow faster, earn more” slogan, the launchpad aims to assist early-stage startups with capital raises while also returning value to the community through its Community Incentives Program (CIP).
But what exactly does BlastUP offer, what perks come with owning $BLASTUP tokens, and will it launch itself into the stratosphere of success or crumble under the weight of its own ambition? Let’s see!
BlastUP identified two persistent issues with early-stage startup fundraising: participant and project issues. Participant issues include a lack of transparency, leading to concerns about the identities and motivations of project owners, as well as a growing trend of “pump-and-dump” behavior after token generation events, leaving small investors behind.
Project teams must walk the razor’s edge and balance marketing, community engagement, token strategy, and the turbulent currents of market making, which all is a daunting journey for even the most ambitious of startups.
With these obstacles in mind, BlastUP set out to shake up the status quo. Their support for early-stage startups can be divided into two key initiatives:
In just a short time, BlastUP effectively shepherded 3 projects through their IDOs:
Combined, these three have raised $275,000 in capital – a testament to the power of BlastUP’s support. While BlastUP has certainly garnered attention for all of this, could there be more under the hood that sets it apart from the competition? Let’s lift the curtain on any additional tricks up its sleeve.
BlastUP offers investors opportunities that could potentially boost their returns and give them a headstart in accessing the most promising IDOs.
Its IDO Farming feature allows users to collect native yield and purchase Launchpad project tokens without the need for registration, while also accruing daily Booster Points to enhance their profits.
Additionally, staking $BLASTUP tokens grants holders access to the IDO launchpad, up to 12% APR, and earns them more Booster Points over time.
Booster Points are the tokens that empower BlastUP’s community and give access to exclusive airdrops from BlastUP and other projects launching on their launchpad. Booster Points can be earned through a variety of actions, including participation in BlastUP’s referral activities, airdrops, CIP, and various other activities on the platform and its partners’ projects.
Holding $BLASTUP seems to unlock a plethora of benefits, such as:
For those in the $BLASTUP game, the horizon promises a volcanic eruption of potential with the ongoing EXPLOSION airdrop. The team is sharing 30,000,000 $BLASTUP tokens among eligible holders with a minimum of 200 Booster Points. Airdrop participants will receive their tokens in early September, with 20% of tokens being accessible right off the bat and the rest trickling in over nine months, thanks to a three-month cliff and linear vesting.
With the EXPLOSION airdrop, BlastUP has lined up a veritable feast of activity for the coming period in a jam-packed roadmap. These future plans are mapped out to potentially strengthen the BlastUP ecosystem, and, to whet your appetite, here’s a glimpse at some of the things planned:
With BlastUP set to incorporate AI into their workflow, their already impressive operations may soon hit a new level of efficiency. The AI-based IDO Screener plans to work its magic on project selection, offering error-free results powered by the digital sorcerer of artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the AI IDO Helper aims to don its fundraising cape, using AI’s data-driven wisdom to concoct foolproof fundraising strategies for a recipe of success in the IDO arena.
With almost 20,000 holders and an active community on Telegram, X, and Discord, BlastUP is showing signs of growth and early potential. While BlastUP is still finding its footing, they already have some encouraging milestones to celebrate. If the team manages to successfully execute their ambitious roadmap, especially with the expanded utility of the $BLASTUP token and the introduction of AI-powered tools, along with continued support for startups in their fundraising efforts, it’s conceivable that BlastUP could be on a trajectory for significant growth in the coming months to a year.
