# What is Holdstation Launchpad?

<figure><img src="/files/HKE5IsNLk0jUtWs2MK2J" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Holdstation Launchpad** is the multichain starter, purpose-built to accelerate the most innovative DeFi and AI projects in the ecosystem. With deep integration into Berachain’s **Proof of Liquidity (PoL)** model, BeraStarter aligns incentives between builders, early adopters, and long-term holders—driving liquidity, attention, and sustained growth across the chain.

## 🔥 Core Philosophy

* **DeFAI-First Mandate**: BeraStarter prioritizes projects at the intersection of **DeFi and AI**, building with purpose and protocol alignment.
* **Anti-Sybil. Anti-VC-Only. Pro-Community**: Fair access, transparent rules, and alignment with real users—not just private rounds.

## **Launchpad Models**

Holdstation launchpad is a highly customizable launchpad, tailored to fit the specific needs of projects. Different token sale models can be customized on our platform:

### **Whitelist Sale**&#x20;

we can facilitate pre-sale events for whitelisted addresses, ensuring that the priority rights of project contributors are protected.&#x20;

### **First Come, First Serve**

This widely used token sale model offers a fixed number of tokens available to anyone until the supply is exhausted.

### Fair Subscription Model <a href="#fair-launch-model" id="fair-launch-model"></a>

Holdstation aims for fairness, providing equal opportunities for all users to participate in token purchases without worrying about factors such as bots or competing with large buy orders.

To ensure fairness, our fair launch model adheres to principles that include Softcap and Hardcap.

* **Softcap** represents the minimum fundraising amount that the project aims to achieve. If the fundraising does not reach the soft cap level, all users will receive a refund of the amount they used to participate.
* **Hardcap** is the maximum fundraising amount that the project aspires to achieve. Once the hard cap is reached, tokens will be allocated to users at the end of the token sale.

> If the amount raised exceeds the hard cap, participants will receive tokens based on their contribution percentage in the pool. Any excess funds will be claimed at the end of the token sale.

Builders win. Stakers win. Berachain wins.
