Empowering Innovation Through Decentralization

The SHIMA Launchpad, also known as SHIMAPAD, is a fully integrated component of the SHIMA DApp, built to support and scale early-stage Web3 projects through a secure, transparent, and community-driven fundraising mechanism. Modeled after successful decentralized launchpad frameworks, SHIMA Launchpad functions as the central gateway for vetted blockchain projects to access initial liquidity and build strong community backing from day one.
This platform enables both established teams and emerging developers to launch new tokens, decentralized applications (DApps), and blockchain services by leveraging SHIMA's trusted ecosystem and infrastructure. Through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), the Launchpad facilitates efficient token distribution, project discovery, and early investment opportunities — all governed by smart contracts to ensure fairness and transparency.
Accelerate Web3 adoption by lowering the entry barrier for innovative projects
Expand the SHIMA ecosystem with high-quality, utility-driven partnerships
Empower SHIM holders with access to vetted investment opportunities
The Launchpad is a natural extension of SHIMA's broader vision: to create a sustainable, decentralized, and gamified ecosystem where users don't just participate, but contribute to shaping the future of blockchain innovation.
To ensure compliance, fairness, and anti-bot measures, users must register on the platform and complete KYC verification. This step confirms the user's identity, residency, and eligibility to participate in token launches.
Only verified users are allowed to move forward in the launch process.
Each user is required to bind a single wallet address to their SHIMAPAD account. This address will be used for:
Receiving IDO tokens
Submitting SHIM contributions
Verifying allocation eligibility
Multiple wallets per user are not allowed to preserve integrity and fairness.
For each upcoming project, users must explicitly register their interest by opting in during the project’s registration window. Only registered users will be included in the whitelist and allowed to contribute during the live IDO phase.
Registration helps manage allocation logistics, prevents oversubscription, and ensures better predictability in participation.
All IDOs on SHIMA Launchpad are powered by non-custodial smart contracts, ensuring that user funds are handled securely and without any central authority control. Token allocations and SHIM contributions are managed transparently on-chain.
The platform may introduce a tier-based access system, where the amount of SHIM tokens staked or held by users affects:
Allocation size
Priority access
Guaranteed vs. lottery-based slots
This encourages long-term holding of SHIM and creates utility-driven demand for the token.
SHIMA Launchpad is fully integrated with:
SHIM token staking
ShimaSwap for post-launch trading
Shima Chat for direct community communication
In-app wallet and DApp dashboard
Projects launching on SHIMAPAD gain instant access to a broad, engaged user base and robust tooling from the SHIMA DApp suite.
Future versions of the Launchpad will allow the community to vote on which projects should receive backing using GSHIM or SHIM tokens. This introduces a layer of decentralized curation and collective intelligence to the ecosystem.
Security: Smart contract-based, fully audited
Transparency: On-chain transactions and verifiable participation
Exposure: Projects benefit from SHIMA's existing user base, marketing, and support
Access: SHIM holders gain early exposure to promising Web3 ventures
Scalability: Designed to support multiple launch models, including IDOs, NFT drops, and fair launches
SHIMA Launchpad is more than a fundraising tool — it’s a springboard for the next generation of decentralized projects. By connecting builders, users, and capital within a unified framework, it helps cultivate a dynamic innovation environment where SHIM plays a central economic role.
