Overview
VyFi Launchpad is a token-sale tool that lets a Cardano project raise money and hand out its new token to buyers in one place. A team sets a price and dates, decides who can take part, and the launchpad collects payments in ADA and distributes tokens to those buyers1. It is the fundraising arm of VyFinance, a long-running finance platform on the Cardano network.
Projects build a sale through a setup tool VyFinance calls Mission Control. From there, a team can run a private round for an approved list of wallets before opening a public round, release tokens gradually on a schedule, and add follow-up features like rewards and community voting after the sale ends1. VyFinance also operates a token exchange, staking, and other products alongside the launchpad2.
Key Features
- Self-serve sale builder. A project sets its own price, fundraising target, dates, and rules using the Mission Control editor, then runs the whole sale on the Cardano network without writing code1.
- Whitelist and staged rounds. Sales can open to an approved list of wallets first and step through several phases before going public, so early supporters get access ahead of the crowd1.
- Vesting schedules. Instead of releasing every token at once, a project can drip tokens to buyers over time, which can help steady a token's early days1.
- Payment in ADA. Buyers pay with ADA, Cardano's main cryptocurrency, and some sales also accept other Cardano assets; tokens are then claimed on the Cardano network1.
- Post-sale support. Mission Control adds tools a project can use after a sale, including liquidity rewards, airdrops to holders, a custom project page, and a community voting system1.
What to Expect
A visitor to the launchpad sees a list of token sales, each showing the price, the start and end dates, the funding target, and a progress bar tracking how much has been raised so far3. Sales that have closed stay listed with their final totals, so the page doubles as a record of past raises. Real examples include a multi-phase whitelist sale for a project called L4VA and a staged public raise for Palm Economy3.
To take part, a buyer connects a Cardano wallet and pays in ADA during an open round. A project owner instead works in Mission Control to design the sale, set who can join, and manage the token handout. The token used across the wider VyFinance platform, VYFI, is a governance token for the whole suite rather than something tied to any single sale on the launchpad4.
