In the fast-paced and ever-renewing world of cryptocurrencies, coin launch platforms have become one of the most prominent tools that allow investors and everyday users the opportunity to enter into promising projects early before they officially launch on the mainnet.

But before these projects reach the launch stage, they go through what's known as testnets, an experimental environment that allows users to try out platforms and spot bugs  and are often rewarded later with free distributions (Airdrops).

This guide is especially aimed at beginners looking to earn free tokens by participating in Testnet projects in a safe and free way, without requiring any financial investment initially.

What are the launchpads in digital currencies?

Launchpads are specialized platforms that help new projects raise funding by selling a portion of tokens to investors before the official launch of the currency.

 The difference between it and ICO/IDO?

 

ICO (initial coin offering) was often done on the project website itself, without oversight or audit.

IDO (Decentralized Token Offering) is done via DEX platforms such as Uniswap.

Launchpads are more structured platforms, often affiliated with centralized exchanges (such as Binance Launchpad), that carefully screen projects before offering them.

 Why are they preferred by investors and projects?

For investors: An opportunity to buy the token at a low price before listing it on the market.

for startups: a way to reach a wide audience and raise safe and fast funding.

The process of launching a coin via Launchpad goes through several basic stages:

 

·        Project submission to the platform and screening (idea evaluation, team, icons, security...).

·        Announcing the launch and setting the sale date and token price.

·        Open participation to eligible users.

·        Purchase tokens within a specified period of time.

·        Listing the token in the market after the sale ends.

he role of investors and users:

·        Register on the platform and participate in early sales.

·        share requirements usually:

·        A digital wallet (such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet).

·        Identity verification (KYC) on most central platforms.

Top benefits of using Launchpads for beginners
