2.2 AI-Focused Incubator & Launchpad- Launchpad & Fundraising Mechanism

2.2 Launchpad & Fundraising Mechanism

Overview

The MonadAI Launchpad is a structured and decentralized platform that enables AI-focused projects to raise capital in a fair, transparent, and efficient manner. By leveraging a tiered staking system and a governance-driven selection process, the launchpad ensures that only high-quality AI projects receive funding and gain the necessary resources to scale effectively.

This fundraising mechanism is designed to provide equal opportunity for investors while ensuring that projects receive long-term backing and strategic support.

How Fundraising Works

Once a project graduates from the incubator, it is eligible to raise funds through the MonadAI Launchpad. The process follows a three-phase model to maintain transparency, efficiency, and security.

1. Project Approval & Pre-Funding

Before a project is approved for fundraising, it undergoes a final validation process to confirm:

✅ Technical readiness and feasibility

✅ Strong business strategy and sustainable tokenomics

✅ Compliance with community governance standards

At this stage, $MONAI token holders may participate in governance votes to approve or reject a project’s entry into the launchpad.

2. Public Fundraising Round

Once a project is approved, it enters the fundraising phase, where investors can contribute capital in exchange for project tokens.

Key Features of the Fundraising Mechanism:

• Fixed-Price Sale Model – Projects can set a fixed token price, ensuring that early investors receive a stable allocation.

• Tiered Participation – Investors must stake $MONAI to access the fundraising round, with higher tiers receiving greater allocations.

• Transparent Smart Contracts – All funds are processed through secure, audited smart contracts, ensuring trust and fairness.

Token Distribution & Vesting

• To prevent early sell-offs, project tokens may be subject to vesting schedules, ensuring a gradual release over time.

• A portion of the raised capital may be allocated to liquidity provision, marketing, and further development.

3. Post-Funding & Growth Phase

Once a project successfully completes its fundraising round, it moves into the growth and execution phase, which includes:

• Technology Deployment – Rolling out core AI functionalities to users.

• Ecosystem Integration – Connecting with MonadAI’s network of partners and developers.

• Community Engagement – Expanding governance mechanisms to involve token holders in decision-making.

Tiered Staking System

To participate in the MonadAI Launchpad, investors must stake $MONAI tokens. The tiered staking model is structured to:

• Provide fair access to all participants based on commitment level.

• Offer higher allocations and benefits to long-term token holders.

• Ensure that projects receive backing from dedicated investors rather than short-term speculators.

(Tier details and staking requirements will be covered in section 7.2.)

Security & Investor Protection

The MonadAI Launchpad prioritizes investor safety and fair capital distribution by implementing:

✅ Smart contract-based fundraising, ensuring transparent and tamper-proof transactions.

✅ Strict vetting and governance controls to prevent low-quality projects from raising funds.

✅ Vesting mechanisms to discourage early dumps and encourage long-term commitment.

These measures enhance investor confidence and ensure the sustainability of AI projects launched through MonadAI.

Key Takeaways

• The MonadAI Launchpad is a structured and decentralized fundraising platform for AI-focused projects.

• Projects must pass a governance-driven approval process before entering the fundraising round.

• Fixed-price fundraising ensures fairness while staking tiers reward committed investors.

• Investor protections such as vesting schedules and security audits help prevent market manipulation.
