ZkPad — is the first early-stage investment platform and incubator for StarkNet. The platform offers users a secure and decentralized way to invest in pre-selected cryptocurrency projects. The team wants to bring a new quality standard to its Laucnhpad platform for all members of the Web3 ecosystem. According to the ZkPad v1.0 white paper, they have come up with new and improved old mechanisms that will greatly improve the user experience over existing launchpads. The team is focused on decentralization and long-term commitment to the projects they support. According to the white paper, the main features of the ZkPad launch pad are as follows: • Lottery system A unique lottery system in which you can sell tickets to lottery participants, and the winners are determined directly on the same blockchain. This completely renews the entire structure of the launch pads we are used to and adds new opportunities for early private investors. • IDO allocation All launch pads set their own rules for the upcoming IDO in one way or another. Most often, the size of the allocation depends on factors such as the amount and time. The ZkPad team solved this problem by creating a custom system for each project individually. The allocation is still issued according to the principle of the shooting range system, where the number of tickets depends on the number of blocked $ZKP. For example, by blocking 5000 $ZKP you will receive 100 lottery tickets. • ZkPad DAO Inspired by CurveDAO, ZkPad DAO voting method will be used based on token lock time, the longer your tokens are locked, and the more of them, the more voting power you will get. ZkPad DAO participants will make decisions to launch a particular project on the launch pad, offer various solutions for smart contracts.

Thus, thanks to a new approach to the old mechanisms of the launch pad, ZkPad updated the functionality of the launch pads and saved us from the problems associated with the unwillingness to work with the user “on an equal footing”. I hope that the work will not stop there and the team will implement more and more convenient features for users interested in investing and cryptocurrency in particular.
