About Launchpool

Launchpool is one of the most prominent features of Astarter Launchpad. Inspired by ISPO, Astarter is developing a pioneering way in which users can get project tokens with minimal risk of losing their original assets. 

Astarter launchpool assists delegators to earn digital assets on the Cardano blockchain by staking ADA. ISPO (Initial Staking Pool Offering) is a pioneering fundraising method on Astarter launchpool, which is a form of token generation and distribution, allowing ADA holders to delegate ADA to Astarter launchpool and earn project tokens as rewards.

Projects deploying with Astarter can issue their token and raise funds by ISPO on Astarter launchpool.
