Token Utility
The token that will become the lifeblood of the launchpad.
Staking
In order to participate in allocations, users will be required to stake VPAD tokens which, depending on the staking period, give them a certain VPAD power.
Staking periods will range from 14 days to 5 years. These will act as amplifiers to the amount of VPAD staked - The longer the staking period, the higher the amplifier.
Allocations will be granted according to the pro-rata power weight of each potential participant compared to the total power staked. To prevent last minute manipulations, VPAD Power only updates once every 24 hours.
Exceptionally low VPAD Power individuals will be merged together and receive an allocation according to the accumulated Power. The allocation is then distributed based on a lottery system.
Unsold allocations are automatically purchased by VLaunch and resold at cost to thought leaders that commit to create content for the project.
Unstaking before the end of the staking period will be possible, subject to a voluntary platform fee, which will be stored in a DAO-controlled smart contract, to be utilized by the decentralized community in the future.
In order to increase token liquidity, liquidity provision (LP) tokens will also be stake-able. Due to the associated counterparty asset required to create LPs, the Power boost will be higher for LP stakers.
Conclusion of Staking Rewards
VLaunch’s initial ecosystem design included a staking reward program aimed at rewarding early community members and promoting long-term token holding.
As per the original tokenomics schedule, staking rewards concluded on December 31, 2024, and the reward pool has now been fully depleted. No further emissions or distributions will occur under this model.
This marks the successful completion of VLaunch’s first growth phase — one focused on community incentives, liquidity stability, and participation rewards. The conclusion of this phase allows the project to transition toward more sustainable, utility-driven engagement models, emphasizing governance, contribution, and ecosystem development.
Governance
As part of our goal to become fully decentralized and controlled by the community, VLaunch will gradually move to a DAO where the community votes on any and all aspects of the launchpad.
Introduction to the VDAO Governance System
VLaunch is entering its next phase with the introduction of the VDAO, a hybrid governance system designed to place greater influence and decision-making power into the hands of the community while maintaining structured oversight and operational continuity.
The VDAO system is currently in production and represents a major step forward for the ecosystem. Once live, it will enable eligible $VPAD holders to vote on proposals, participate in treasury decisions, and influence future ecosystem developments based on their staking score.
Under this model, the VLaunch team will continue to oversee the operational and technical integrity of proposals, ensuring that all community-driven decisions are implemented transparently and efficiently.
This hybrid approach balances community governance with responsible execution, creating a framework where token holders contribute directly to the growth and strategic direction of VLaunch, while maintaining stability and accountability at every level.
Anti-Sybil
VPAD will also be required in order to protect the platform from sybil attacks in which attackers automate a set of actions, impersonating thousands or hundreds of thousands of real users, thus draining rewards. By requiring each participating user to stake a relatively low number of VPAD, it becomes economically inefficient to attempt to attack the system.
