Introduction

FanPad is a next-generation fundraising and funding platform built on the Fantom blockchain. Beyond financial support through token sales, FanPad also assists projects with technical aspects, tokenomics, audits, and marketing via strategic partnerships.

Challenges

FanPad aims to become a kick-starter fundraising platform for potential Fantom projects. However, several challenges stood in the way of achieving this goal:

– Unfair distribution mechanism: Most launchpad platforms currently employ a distribution mechanism based on the quantity of launchpad tokens held. Larger token holdings result in a greater allocation of new project tokens. This approach presents a less equitable distribution as the benefits are heavily skewed towards individuals or entities with substantial capital.

– Inefficient fundraising: Existing launchpads often utilize allocation mechanisms that divide the available tokens into various pools. Consequently, many IDO events struggle to reach their intended hard cap.

– Lack of comprehensive support beyond funding: Many traditional launchpads primarily concentrate on the initial fundraising stage. Following the token sale, projects are frequently left to independently manage the complexities of development, marketing, and security. This lack of extended support can cause promising projects to falter due to insufficient expertise or resources in these critical domains.

– Risk of scam projects and poor investment quality: The decentralized nature of blockchain, unfortunately, can attract malicious actors. Many launchpads encounter difficulties in effectively vetting projects, leading to users investing in fraudulent or fundamentally unsound ventures.

Solutions

To ensure that Fanpad reached its aim, Hola Tech adhered to the best practices. Key components of the solution included:

– Robust and scalable infrastructure: Leveraging AWS Lambda’s serverless architecture provided Fanpad with an infrastructure that could automatically scale based on demand, ensuring high availability and cost-effectiveness. MongoDB Atlas served as the primary database, offering a flexible and scalable solution for managing diverse data sets, from partner information to project details.

– Intuitive and user-friendly front-end: ReactJS was employed to build a dynamic and responsive user interface for all platform modules. This ensured a seamless and engaging experience for Fanpad’s users, whether they were project creators, investors, or partners.

– Secure and transparent smart contract interactions: Solidity was utilized for developing secure smart contracts related to legal agreements and token management. The Graph was integrated to efficiently index and query blockchain data, providing transparent access to crucial on-chain information.
