# Launchpad

launch tokens or NFT collections with flexible launch models

**Stage0's Launchpad** provides launch infrastructure for new projects building on RISE. It offers teams a straightforward way to launch tokens, nft drops and raise capital, while providing participants with a clear and transparent way to take part in early-stage projects.

#### What makes it different?

* open participation: launches are designed to be accessible and transparent, allowing communities to take part without centralized gatekeepers or insider allocations
* token and nft native: stagezero supports both token and nft launches through integrated onchain contracts, giving projects flexible ways to distribute assets and build communities
* fair launch focus: the platform prioritizes fair and transparent launch structures that help align projects with their early supporters from day one
* ecosystem-native: built specifically for the RISE ecosystem, Stage0 helps projects gain early exposure and connect with the growing RISE community
* direct community engagement: project teams can interact directly with early participants, building trust and momentum before and after launch
