Methodology

  • → Fee splits sourced from each project's own public docs. Last verified: 2026-05-26.
  • → Numerical claims (cumulative fees, revenue) sourced from DeFiLlama, project announcements, or kucoin/crypto.news aggregators.
  • → No subjective ranking. Order in detail cards is by name length (LiquidPad first only because it's shortest).
  • → If a launchpad disagrees with how we represent them, the resolution is: their docs win. We'll patch within 24h of any corrected source link.
  • → Comparison page is MIT-licensed alongside the rest of LiquidPad. Fork it, build your own.

Use what fits. Ship the token.

The right launchpad depends on what you optimize for — creator share, ecosystem alignment, ergonomics, lock terms. This page exists so you can see all five at once.
