It serves as a launchpad platform where crypto projects can raise capital and distribute tokens in a decentralized manner. The POLS token is used for governance, staking, and accessing token sales on the platform.
Business Model Evaluation
The core business model revolves around facilitating token launches and fundraising in a decentralized manner. The platform's primary functions include: token pool creation, cross-chain swaps, and fixed-swap pools. Projects launching through Polkastarter must pass due diligence checks, promoting transparency.
Real-World Adoption
Polkastarter has facilitated numerous token launches since its inception. According to their official statistics, over 200 projects have launched through the platform, raising significant capital. The platform maintains active partnerships with multiple blockchain networks including Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and Avalanche.
Development Activity
The platform shows consistent development activity with regular updates to its protocol. The team maintains an active GitHub repository and frequently releases new features and improvements. Recent developments include enhanced KYC requirements and improved vetting processes for projects.
Token Distribution
The total supply of POLS is 100 million tokens. According to their documentation, 15% was allocated to the team and advisors with a vesting period, 3% for development, and the remainder distributed through various public and private sales, liquidity provisions, and community incentives.
Additional Considerations
The platform facilitates token sales but does not engage in interest-bearing activities or gambling. While projects launching on Polkastarter may individually raise concerns, the platform itself serves as infrastructure rather than directly engaging in potentially problematic activities.
