TLDR: Fair launches mean no insiders, no presales, and no VC deals - just a level playing field for everyone. That’s exactly how $PAPPLE launched, and now, $PAPPLE is your key to future fair launches on Pineapple Express. By staking $PAPPLE, you gain early access, whitelist spots, guaranteed allocations, and airdrops for upcoming tokens - rewarding real participation.
Most people getting into Web3 hear the term “fair launch” tossed around, but few actually understand what it means - let alone why it matters. So let’s break it down. A fair launch refers to a token launch where everyone has equal access. That means no presale rounds, no early investor discounts, no reserved allocations for insiders. The token is made available publicly, at the same time, and under the same conditions for everyone - including the project team.
This approach stands in stark contrast to the standard model, where early access is often restricted to venture capital funds or private networks, creating huge imbalances in how tokens are distributed. In fair launches, the goal is to build broad, community-driven ownership from day one, not just raise capital quickly.
How We Applied This to $PAPPLE
When we launched $PAPPLE, we followed the fair launch model as strictly as possible - not just in principle, but in execution. There was no pre-minting, no private allocation, and no presale. The smart contract was deployed without privileged functions or backdoors. All liquidity was added publicly, and locked. Trading began with no wallet exemptions, no artificial price floors, and no admin controls. Even the team had to buy on the open market - just like everyone else.
This created a level playing field where early holders weren’t insiders - they were participants. The result is a token that has remained truly community-owned, with on-chain proof of fairness baked into its origins.
What This Means for $PAPPLE Stakers
Now, as we prepare to launch new tokens through Pineapple Express - our full-stack token launch platform - we’re applying those same fair launch principles to the projects coming next. But here’s the difference: we now have a staking mechanism in place.
Future token launches will still follow a fair model - no backroom deals or private investor allocations - but this time, $PAPPLE stakers will have a meaningful role in how those launches unfold:
- Staking $PAPPLE gives you whitelist access to upcoming token launches on Pineapple Express, depending on your tier (below).
- It also makes you eligible for guaranteed allocations or airdrops - not because you know someone, but because you’ve actively supported the ecosystem.
- Projects launching through Pineapple Express will be designed to reward real participation, not passive speculation. $PAPPLE stakers become part of the launch process - from distribution through to early engagement.
In other words, staking is how we preserve the integrity of a fair launch while still giving priority to those who are committed to the long-term success of the platform.
