BSCLaunch is a multi-chain IDO launchpad. Stake BSL to raise your allocation cap in vetted projects — no lottery, no whitelist form, and refunds you can take yourself if a sale fails.
Every sale is a contract deployed by the BSCLaunch factory. Numbers below are read live from the chain.
Connect, stake BSL, contribute while the sale is open, then claim — no whitelist form and no lottery.
Connect MetaMask or any EVM wallet via WalletConnect. No account, no email signup — your wallet is your identity.
Stake BSL to meet the holding gate and unlock your tier. Staked BSL counts toward allocation; higher tiers raise your per-wallet cap.
Browse live IDOs and contribute on-chain while the window is open. No lottery, no whitelist form, no social tasks — BSL holding is the gate.
After the sale finalizes, claim purchased tokens to your wallet per the vesting schedule. If a sale fails, take your refund yourself on-chain.
Five tiers based on staked BSL, enforced by the sale contracts: in a tier-weighted sale your per-wallet cap is the base cap times your multiplier. Tiers are snapshotted when the sale opens.
No lottery system. Tier-weighted allocations ship with the mainnet contracts. Staking already earns rewards and counts toward the holding requirement. Unstake anytime with no lockup penalties.
Start Staking BSLBSL is the native utility and governance token of BSCLaunch. Holding BSL is the on-chain proof of commitment required to participate in every IDO. No BSL — no allocation.
Access to all regular IDOs
2× allocation weight + Silver-only IDOs
4× weight + early access + AMA calls
8× weight + VC networking + governance
20× weight + advisory + board eligibility
* Wallet balance and staked BSL both count toward the holding requirement. Stake to earn rewards and keep your access.
Every IDO on BSCLaunch requires a minimum BSL holding. The threshold is customised per project — premium launches require more BSL.
Stake BSL to earn a currently configured ~24.5% APY from the 25M-token staking pool (owner can update the rate). Claim anytime, unstake anytime, no lockup.
Planned: BSL holders vote on new project listings, fee structures, tier thresholds, and protocol upgrades through on-chain governance.
Planned: pay platform fees in BSL for a 50% discount. Higher tier = greater discount, rewarding long-term holders.
BSL is a utility token. It does not represent equity or a share in BSCLaunch, Inc.
BSCLaunch was built to fix what's broken about IDO launchpads. Too many run lotteries that reward luck over loyalty. Too many let unvetted teams raise millions and disappear. We built a better system from the ground up.
We are early — and we say so. The contracts are deployed on the Sepolia testnet, fuzz-tested and reviewed; no public sale has run yet. Future listings will publish sale terms, vesting and contract addresses before they go live — no invented traction.
Contracts built on OpenZeppelin v5 and covered by 123 Foundry tests including fuzzing, invariants and static analysis, plus a scripted acid test that runs complete sales with many buyers. Our security review is complete and published in full; it was carried out in-house.
Every contract, test and review is open. We publish what is live and what is still planned — no inflated numbers, no invented traction.
Same contracts deploy on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Polygon. Tooling is multi-chain from day one; claim a chain only once it is deployed.
Every sale shows price, caps, vesting and the contract address up front. You verify the terms on-chain — we do not hide behind a fake score.
Named team profiles, with KYC verification, are published before mainnet launch. Until then, here is who does what.
Designs and builds the protocol end to end. Profile and KYC verification published before mainnet.
A third-party audit firm will review all contracts before mainnet. Findings will be published in full.

Everything you need to know about BSCLaunch, IDOs, and our tier system.
BSCLaunch is an IDO (Initial DEX Offering) launchpad for vetted projects. It runs on any EVM chain — BNB Chain first, with Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Polygon supported by the same contracts — and BSL holders get early access to every sale. The contracts are live on testnets today; mainnet launch follows a third-party audit.
