A new era for tokens on-chain

The current meta for tokens is attention by any means necessary, which can distract from projects working on important goals. Our mission is to showcase tokens doing good on-chain, and use our software to show how each token is progressing in their journey. In this article, I describe how users can be rewarded for supporting initiatives, the importance of positive market sentiment on Avalanche, and how we’re saving the polar bears with the first initiative token $Quasi.

Iggy Launchpad

We’re building a token launchpad for verified initiatives working on the Avalanche blockchain. There are two choices for deployment, donation tokens with 100% tax, or initiative tokens with 1–99% tax. This allows projects to receive funding through tax, with the option to provide an incentive for users to share the initiative.

Once launched, initiatives provide updates from their page on our launchpad, as well as a progress bar towards the intended goal. Users collect stamps (soulbound) to show they helped a good cause. By turning ideas into success stories, we hope to create a trend towards supporting those in need, and the planet.

Culture on Avalanche

We decided to build on Avalanche because of the tokenomics, impressive technology, and near-instant transaction finality. Over time the community on Avalanche has shown to be strong and supportive of eachother on spaces and in the timeline. It’s something we haven’t seen on any other chain. The Avalanche Foundation recognises strength in the community and has introduced several successful grant programs over it’s lifespan. Our goal is to continue supporting community on Avalanche, and give a platform to those supporting others in real life. Ballin, SQRCat, GoodOnAvax, Addicted, are examples of great work towards real world issues. We will launch our own incentive program to gather initiatives outside of crypto and support them with our launchpad.

Quasi saves the polar bears

The first initiative token on the Isbjorn Launchpad. The founder of Isbjorn is travelling to the Arctic to complete polar bear conservation missions. Supporting PBI and their mission to get more bear geotags, live cameras, and lidar scanners. The ultimate goal is to complete the build of a live Arctic map. With polar bear geotags, introducing an ‘adopt-a-bear’ program where users can track and assign metadata for their bear, view them with live cams, and watch them interact with other bears.
