Launchpool’s Fixed Allocations — Explained

3 min read3 days ago

There’s a new way to purchase token allocations on Launchpool. Here’s everything you need to know about our Fixed Allocation Pools.

The New Year has brought about new changes at Launchpool!

Introducing our new Fundraising Mechanism: Fixed Allocations!
This new product operates alongside our existing Guaranteed Allocations ($LPOOL staking), offering participants and our community more ways to engage.

What Are Fixed Allocations?

Fixed Allocations are designed to welcome newcomers and participants who do not hold or stake $LPOOL tokens. This new mechanism enables users to purchase tokens in a straightforward, risk-managed way — no staking required.

Our goal is to lower the barriers for Web3 participation, making it easier for more people to invest in blockchain projects.

Why Introduce Fixed Allocations?

In 2024, Launchpool gathered community feedback, highlighting some key challenges:

Guaranteed Allocations were sometimes too high to fulfill completely
Acquiring and migrating $LPOOL tokens posed difficulties for many users
$LPOOL was only available on limited platforms like KuCoin and Gate.io restricting access for newcomers

Fixed Allocations directly address these challenges by providing a low-barrier entry point into Launchpool projects while maintaining transparency and simplicity.

How Do Fixed Allocations Work

Getting Started

With our Fixed Allocations pool, participants can purchase tokens without the need for $LPOOL staking.

The process is straightforward:
1.) Register on Launchpool
2.) Complete KYC — just 30–60 seconds
3.) Choose an allocation size — options include $25, $50, or $100 allocations

This system operates on a First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) basis. Multiple purchases are allowed for any of the size options, with the real-time progress bar allowing users to track the available funding.

Fees and Refunds

Each fixed allocation deposit, incurs a 15% fee on top of the price of the ticket. This fee is shown at the time of purchase and automictically added to your transaction
If more funds are raised than the project requires, refunds (excluding the 15% fee) are processed within days after the sale ends

Refund Amount: Any refunded amounts will be made equal to the ticket price ($25/$50/$100)

NOTE: Fixed Allocation purchases do not have buyer protection in such cases where the token’s price may fall below the sale price at the token’s launch (TGE). Buyer protection is only in place for select sales via our Guaranteed Allocation Pools ($LPOOL staking) and subject to specific criteria.

Comparison: Fixed vs. Guaranteed Allocations

Fixed Allocations and Guaranteed Allocations complement each other, ensuring flexibility and inclusivity.

Here’s how they differ for an equal split in a $100k project raise:

$50k is allocated to the Guaranteed Pools ($LPOOL staking), with buyer protection: 50% refund on select Guaranteed sales
$50k is allocated to the Fixed Pools (FCFS) participants without buyer protection: 0% refund across all Fixed sales

First Project Using Fixed Allocations: GPT Wars

Launchpool’s Fixed Allocations debuts with GPT Wars: a AAA-shooter game that combines immersive gameplay with blockchain innovation. This groundbreaking project is set to captivate gamers and blockchain enthusiasts alike in 2025.
