Dymension: The First Chain Launchpad

As the first Chain Launchpad, Dymension enables anyone to launch a token, bootstrap an engaged community, and then seamlessly transform that token into a thriving blockchain (“RollApp”) with real liquidity, robust security, and composable digital economies.

Dymension simplifies every step:

  • Launch Your Token: Easily bootstrap liquidity and build your initial community with a launchpad. Your supporters don't just buy a token, they become early backers of your future ecosystem and its native token.
  • Transform Ideas into Reality: Once your token gains traction, Dymension graduates ideas into fully operational blockchains.

How does it work?

1. Create a launchpad token

Creators begin by registering their future blockchain domain on the Dymension L1. From there, they allocate a portion (or all) of their token supply to the launchpad sale.

During the launchpad sale, early supporters can buy the pre-graduated tokens (IRO token) via a bonding curve. Creators choose from four pricing models: fixed price, linear, logarithmic, or exponential.

2. Graduating to a Chain

With liquidity in place, the project can transform from token‑only into a full chain when a sequencer bonds and starts operating a node for the chain. The sequencer is the chain operator responsible for processing transactions, ordering blocks, and posting state updates to Dymension.

When the RollApp launches:

  • Launchpad tokens (IRO) convert at a 1:1 ratio into native blockchain tokens, so early backers become full token holders.
  • The funds raised (in DYM or USDC) are automatically used to seed a liquidity pool on Dymension’s built-in AMM, ensuring trading starts right at launch, priced at the final launchpad sale bonding-curve rate.
  • Any unsold tokens are distributed as incentives to liquidity providers, boosting early liquidity and usage.

3. Governance, Staking & Revenue Shares

Once live, the RollApp blockchain becomes a DAO:

  • Governors, elected via token delegations, control on-chain policy, such as fees, minting rules, or royalty settings. Token holders can vote directly or delegate their vote to governors.
  • Sequencers, who operate the chain, must bond (stake) DYM tokens, and later may stake RollApp tokens or LP shares too, to secure and power the RollApp. The bigger their bond, the more block‑production time (and MEV opportunity) they earn.
  • Revenue from network fees and MEV is split per the RollApp’s settings (called the “Labor Parameter”), rewarding operators, governors, and token holders alike.

4. A Blockchain Platform

Now that your community has bootstrapped the token launch through the launchpad, it can actively build and become a successful platform, leveraging the developers building on top of it.

With custom VMs and familiar standards like EVM and CosmWasm, anything is possible: NFTs, games, DeFi, or entirely new applications. Just plug and go. Dymension puts your chain into a connected ecosystem from day one, with built-in bridging - no custom bridges needed. Security is non-custodial, with no central keys or multisigs, ensuring trust-minimized liquidity and seamless interoperability.

From Token to Ecosystem

Dymension is the first and only platform built to take you from token to thriving ecosystem.

Launch your token. Build your chain. Grow a new world.
