TrustPad

TrustPad is a decentralized, multi-chain fundraising platform that enables early-stage crypto projects to raise capital through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). Founded in 2021 and based in Panama, the platform was established to support the growth of the blockchain ecosystem in a secure manner. Since its launch, TrustPad has facilitated over $23 million in capital raised for more than 130 projects.

The platform operates as a launchpad, primarily on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), but supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Polygon. It provides a secure environment for investors by implementing features like rug-proof mechanisms, liquidity locking, security audits, and guaranteed allocations. In 2023, TrustPad introduced a "SAFU IDO Model," which allows contributors a 48-hour window to claim a full refund, aiming to increase investor confidence.

The business model revolves around its native utility token, $TPAD. To participate in IDOs, users must stake $TPAD tokens, which grants them access to a tiered system with different allocation levels, ranging from lottery-based to guaranteed access. This staking mechanism is central to the platform's operation. TrustPad also generates revenue by charging a 1% fee on every $TPAD transaction, which is then redistributed to all token holders. For projects looking to launch, TrustPad offers incubation services, including marketing support, community building, and advisory services.
