The launchpad wars are heating up.

Every chain wants their own. Every protocol is launching one. But which platform actually becomes THE dominant player?

Right now we're seeing:

• Solana launchpads eating volume (pump.fun mechanics changed the game)

• Base launchpads gaining traction with lower fees

• ETH launchpads still holding bluechip status but losing retail

The winner needs:

→ Low friction (gas + UX)

→ Strong vetting (too many rugs killed trust)

→ Cross-chain liquidity bridge

→ Token utility that actually matters

My take: No single launchpad will rule them all. We're heading toward a multi-chain meta where 2-3 platforms dominate their respective ecosystems.

The real alpha? Finding which launchpad consistently launches tokens that hold value 30+ days post-launch. That's the metric that matters.

What's your pick for 2025?
