The next few months on Avalaunch are going to be exciting. With the announcement of the Avalanche Rush 180M DeFi Incentive Program and the surging amount of interest from all corners of the world, it would be fair to say that “the ecosystem has arrived.”

With large players from other chains integrating with Avalanche it feels like a validation of the things that the early community has known all along. There is still much work to be done, but we at Avalaunch feel that the “awakening” we knew was coming has finally arrived and there is really no telling where we go from here.

A Multi-Chain Avalanche

Before we cover our line-up of projects coming soon to Avalaunch, we wanted to provide some insight into our selection process and how we currently view the burgeoning Avalanche application ecosystem.

This week we announced our first IDO, YAY Games. YAY Games is special to us for many reasons, but one in particular stands out as relevant for the purposes of this brief editorial. That is, they were recently unknown to the Avalanche community and are not an “Avalanche exclusive” project. For Avalaunch, an Avalanche-specific launchpad, dedicated in whole to expanding the native ecosystem, that may seem like a strange choice.

However, we don’t really think so.

Blockchain technology now exists as a thriving multi-chain structure destined to evolve as an ever-increasingly interconnected organism. Therefore, a good team with a strong vision, regardless of their current chain of choice, is absolutely worth our time and attention. Our thinking is that the right project for Avalaunch doesn’t necessarily look any one way and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.

For example, maybe you are building exclusively on Avalanche and bleed AVAX red. We like that. Or, maybe, you want to build on three chains, and also leverage the power of the Avalanche community because you are excited about what it feels like to build here. We can appreciate that, too. It just depends. These are scenarios we encounter every day and it’s simply too early to rule out anything completely. The opportunity is always in the unknown and we are dedicated to investigating those uncertain realms in earnest.

Ultimately, we are most interested in more minds, teams and communities being exposed to Avalanche. YAY Games came to us with a large following, and as a result of their decision to work with Avalaunch, afforded us tens of thousands of BSC users now exploring Avalanche — maybe for the very first time. In our book, that’s a major win for the native ecosystem. Not to mention that the YAY team are Avalanche fan boys and have been involved with the platform since day one.

To summarize, we think the best communities and technologies will win, and there doesn’t need to be just one. Maybe there will be, maybe there won’t. We don’t pretend to know. For us, of course, Avalanche reigns supreme. From top to bottom there simply isn’t anything else like it. The people, the technology, and the enthusiasm around its growth is what keeps us going day-to-day. It’s a really special thing.

But, there are plenty of good teams who are not “all-in” on Avalanche (yet) and are excited about experimenting with multiple ecosystems. We think that spirit of exploration is important and is the same type of curiosity that gave us the Avalanche platform in the first place. Let them explore, support them while they do, and eventually, Avalanche will become their preference. It’s really that simple.

While Avalaunch will always likely err toward inclusive, we have plenty of upcoming projects that are Avalanche native through and through and we, of course, look forward to supporting them too.

Coming Soon to Avalaunch

There is a lot we have been working on behind the scenes and we wanted to give the community a preview of some of the confirmed sales coming to Avalaunch. While this does not represent a complete list of projects committed to participate in the Avalaunch ecosystem, we hope it gives our community a good sense of what they can expect in the coming weeks and months.

Over the last year, we have spent countless hours meeting with teams, exploring projects in various stages of development and evangelizing Avalanche far and wide. The following list represents what we believe are some of the strongest, most interesting and useful projects being built on Avalanche today who are ready for their IDO.

The dates for these sales are to be announced, but many of them are coming very soon and we look forward to educating our community about why we think there are vital additions to the Avalanche ecosystem.

So, without further ado…

We hope you all are as excited as we here to start seeing the Avalanche ecosystem grow and continue to come to life. Make sure to stop by the communities of these projects, say hello, and give them a follow!

Over the last several weeks, Avalaunch has launched a number of global communities designed to expand our reach and influence around the world. We consider our launchpad a community-driven project and are always interested in aligning the most amount of people possible with our launchpad projects.

In this spirit, we are thrilled to announce the roll out of our third International community: Vietnam.

The Vietnamese crypto community is strong, vibrant and an important part of the entire ecosystem. Within days of “soft opening” our Telegram community, the room quickly grew to over 500 members eager to learn about Avalaunch and the roadmap of project. Over the coming weeks, months and years, we expect this to grow to thousands more.

Additionally, our community team in Vietnam is made up of some of the most professional, crypto-savvy people we have ever encountered. We are more than confident in their ability to represent Avalaunch, our ideals, and the visions of the projects utilizing our platform.

In addition to a dedicated Vietnamese language Telegram Channel and Announcement Channel, we are also supporting a Vietnamese version of our Medium content, hosted on the leading Vietnam crypto news outlet, Coin68. As we publish new content, it will be translated and posted here.

As always, we have also engaged local marketing teams, crypto industry experts specializing in the Vietnamese communities, and crypto evangelists to best support our efforts, and help bridge the gap between markets.

As we near the announcements of our first IDOs, and our English speaking groups have grown larger than ever, it gives us great pleasure to announce our next international community: Turkey!

While all global Avalaunch groups are important, the Turkish channels are something we are particularly excited about as the Turkish presence within Avalanche, and Avalaunch, has always been incredibly strong.

The Turkish geographic is deeply invested in the power of cryptocurrency, it’s underlying technology and the people that make it possible. When it comes to Avalaunch, and making sure the projects we help are seen far and wide, launching this community is a big win. The “unofficial” Avalaunch Telegram has historically been one of our strongest, and it’s gratifying to us to be able to take this organic, grassroots effort that sprung up around the project and finally make it “official.”

In addition to a official Turkish Telegram and Twitter, we have also launched a Turkish Medium where native Turkish speakers can learn all about our latest announcements and upcoming sales happening on Avalaunch. Going forward, all of our posts will be translated into the native languages of our communities!

Also, as with our other international communities, we have engaged local, on-the-ground, crypto-native marketing support in Turkey that will be assisting us in making sure that the Turkish users know what’s happening with Avalaunch day-to-day. Avalaunch is always expanding our network in an effort to have the loudest voice we can, and this represents an important step in making our message heard!

Community is something we talk about a lot at Avalaunch. Our community, the Avalanche community, and the community we hope to expose to this technology that we see such great potential in. In addition to providing the tools to acquire new users, Avalaunch is committed to connecting people, and allowing new projects to leverage those relationships to amplify their efforts.

We believe that the further we can reach, and the louder our voice is heard, the more useful we will be to the growing Avalanche ecosystem and the teams looking to accelerate their growth on our platform.

In that spirit, we are thrilled to announce our first international community: Japan

We will be rolling out a number of international communities over the coming weeks and we on making sure that Avalaunch and our launchpad projects are properly represented across the globe. Simply put, we want the broadest reach possible and working hard to acquire it.

In addition to a dedicated Telegram and Twitter, we have also launched a Japanese Medium where native Japanese speakers can learn all about our latest announcements and upcoming sales happening on Avalaunch. Going forward, all of our posts will be translated into the native languages of our communities!

We also have engaged local, on-the-ground, crypto-native marketing support in Japan that will be assisting us in making sure that the Japanese crypto communities know what’s happening with Avalaunch day-to-day.

Can you guess what international community is next?

For the last 2 months, the Avalaunch Farm has served our community well. It has been a place for our XAVA holders to gather, earn plentiful rewards, and support essential liquidity for the token. It saw millions of dollars locked in TVL, drew attention to the entire ecosystem and allowed users to earn future IDO firepower while we readied our platform for launch.

However, the time has come to let the sun set on the current farm and rise on a brand new one. As we prepare for the launch of our allocation farming contracts, which require the XAVA token for staking, there is a bit of housekeeping that needs to occur. Primarily, the migration of LP tokens from the old farm to the new farm, and a brief pause on the single-sided XAVA staking.

This migration is the final step required before deploying our allocation staking contracts and signals the next chapter of the launchpad.

Read on for all the details and a sneak peek into what you can expect from the Avalaunch Allocation Staking (AAS).

The Legacy Farm

The old Avalaunch Farm can now be found at legacy-farm.avalaunch.app.

If you were previously farming with your XAVA-AVAX LP tokens or XAVA tokens, your stake and unharvested rewards can be found here. The Legacy Farm will stay up as long as it needs to, and there is no urgent need to claim and unstake your tokens.

If you would like to continue to earn LP rewards, please unstake and migrate your tokens to the new farm. While we transition LP tokens over to the new farm, the current LP rewards will be increased by ~20% as liquidity moves over.

The New Avalaunch Farm

The new Avalaunch Farm can be found at farm.avalaunch.app.

The LP reward program will exist here exactly as it did in the old farm, i.e, stake your XAVA-AVAX LP tokens and earn XAVA rewards. The only difference here is that the rewards will be slightly increased for the time being.

Apart from that, you will probably notice that the single-sided XAVA staking is no longer available. This is because the single-sided staking is evolving into our allocation staking.

Allocation Staking

Before we begin, please note that this contract has not been deployed yet, and it’s important to us that everyone has plenty of notice before we do. This is one of the key components being tested in our community testing and will be ready for the public very soon.

What is allocation staking? And how does it work within the Avalaunch platform?

Instead of staking XAVA to earn only XAVA, you will now be staking the token to earn both allocation in upcoming sales and additional allocation power by earning more XAVA rewards. The allocation staking makes up the core of our platform and gives XAVA (for now) much of its utility.

Allocation Staking Rewards

Staking XAVA doesn’t just earn you allocation in sales, but also the potential to earn more power in the system. The rewards users can potentially earn in our Allocation Staking application are three-fold:

1. IDO allocation
2. XAVA tokens from ecosystem rewards
3. XAVA tokens from platform fee redistribution

To some of you, point number three is news. To everyone that has been paying very close attention, this is something you may have already gathered. Without going into all the details just yet, it makes sense to highlight some of the implications of such a mechanism:

• Smaller holders can grow larger over time.
• The longer you stake XAVA, the more allocation power you have.
• You don’t have to exercise your allocation, and if you choose not to, you’ll earn off the stakes of those that do.
• New entrants into the system pay long-term stakers.
• As Avalaunch grows alongside Avalanche, and the sales grow larger, so does the earning power of XAVA.
• You do not need to KYC or participate in sales to earn from the network growth of Avalaunch.

We are going to be releasing a full article about this shortly that covers the specific mechanisms at play, numbers and the philosophical underpinnings of the contracts.

But what we can say upfront is that it is designed to:

• Support the XAVA token
• Reward holders
• Redistribute wealth
• Grow in parallel to the success of the platform
• Offer projects committed, properly incentivized token holders

Wrapping Up

The “launchpad problem” is a tricky one. And at some point, you have to choose your version of fair, own it, and build toward that vision. Our team truly believes that Avalaunch is special and offers teams a unique and powerful way to kickstart their community and project.

As we move through our community testing and put the finishing touches on the platform, we are more excited than ever for the future of the Avalaunch platform and what we have planned for our community. Thank you all for your continued support!

As we close in on the release of the Avalaunch Platform it is time to involve YOU, our community, in what we have been building. We want your feedback!

We believe that Avalaunch is unlike anything else that exists in the market today, and we need a group of strong testers from within our community to help us make sure it’s ready for prime time. There is lots to show you all and we want to provide a few of you with a sneak peak!

How?

We will be opening a private group, with about 20–30 participants, who we will ask to help run through all the features of the platform with us. This includes staking for allocation, participating in sales, and generally using the features of Avalaunch we haven’t talked about publicly.

Additionally, we are going to be running test sales, with you as participants, making you the first to ever experience Avalaunch! If that sounds like fun to you, then you are probably exactly who we are looking for.

When?

If you’d like to be considered to participate as a tester, please fill out this form:

Private Test Group Application Form

We will be forming the testing group ASAP and testing starts this week. The idea here is to capture a nice variety of users of varying “skill” levels. Please answer these questions honestly. It will matter.

Requirements?

Our basic requirements are that you are both a long-term Avalaunch community member and holding some amount of the XAVA token. You must also be regularly online, available consistently for the next little while and be able to offer thoughtful feedback about your experience using Avalaunch. It is very important you feel comfortable clearly documenting what you encounter. Strong written communication is a must.

You will be working directly with the core management and development team to make sure the testing is productive.

Last But Not Least!

As a thank you, we will be offering the following incentives to be distributed amongst our best testers:

💸 $5,000 USD
✨ $5,000 XAVA

The distribution details will be shared with the final group.

Deadline: As soon as we fill the spots, the form will close. If you think you want to help, fill out the form ASAP.

Application: Private Test Group Application Form

Thanks so much and we look forward to working with you!
