Eclipse Fi

Eclipse Fi operates as a modular, multi-chain launch protocol, providing customizable token launch and liquidity solutions for projects primarily within the Cosmos ecosystem and expanding to other EVM-compatible networks. The company was established in early 2022, initially with a focus on the Terra (Luna) ecosystem. Following the collapse of Terra, co-founder and CEO Simon Chadwick pivoted the platform to serve the broader Cosmos ecosystem. Chadwick's background includes experience in strategic partnerships and business development at Loop Finance, which informed his perspective on the shortcomings of existing token launch models.

The firm’s business model is centered on facilitating Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), airdrops, and various auction types for which it likely earns fees, advisory retainers, or early investment allocations. Eclipse Fi addresses both early-stage crypto projects needing to bootstrap liquidity and engage a user base, as well as community investors seeking access to vetted, early-stage investment opportunities. The platform conducts due diligence on projects to mitigate risks for its users. Total funds raised by the platform for its projects have reached approximately $1.61 million.

Eclipse Fi's core offering is its modular launchpad, which allows projects to tailor their token distribution strategy by combining different launch modules like IDOs, Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs), lockdrops, and auctions. This flexible framework is designed to align long-term project goals with community incentives. For investors, participation is tiered based on a points system called 'Cosmic Essence', which is earned by staking the native ECLIP token. Higher tiers grant users increased chances at lottery-based allocations or guaranteed access to token sales. The platform also integrates features like anonymous KYC through zero-knowledge proofs and aims to foster a community-driven approach to project vetting and platform innovation.
