Launch Types
The Atlantis Launchpad is designed to offer flexibility and transparency for both projects and participants. Below are the four supported sale types, each characterised by different fundraising strategies, community engagement goals and benefits for the participants:
1. FCFS Sale (First-Come, First-Served)
A straightforward model where participants secure allocations on a first-come, first-served basis until the hard cap is reached. Based on the launching project, the sale can or can not be open to anyone and possibly requires a whitelisting process. Due to the fixed hard cap and token price, the number of participants is also fixed based on the maximum allocation per wallet.
2. Farming Overflow
Farming Overflow is an upgraded version of the traditional Overflow Presale model, built to provide both fairness and efficiency in token distribution. While it preserves the core strengths of classic Overflow, this model introduces a key improvement: early contributors, who typically take on more risk, are no longer overlooked. Instead of treating all participants equally regardless of timing, a dedicated amount of tokens will be specifically allocated as a reward for early participation, ensuring they are properly incentivized.
3. Fair Launch
The Fair Launch model represents the most open and community-first approach to token distribution. There are no private sales, no whitelist spots, and no exclusive allocations. Every participant has equal access, and tokens are distributed proportionally based on each user's contribution to the raise.
How It Works: Participants contribute freely during the whole sale duration. There’s no hard cap; instead, once the sale ends, the total raise is calculated, and each participant receives a share of tokens proportional to their contribution. For example, if a user contributes 1% of the total raise amount, they receive 1% of the tokens being distributed. The following formula describes price of the token once the sale has ended:
Price = Total raised / Token Sale supply
4. Farming Fair Launch
The Farming Fair launch is an improved sale model that not only carries all the benefits of a Fair launch but also rewards users who invest early by giving them the possibility of farming and generating extra yield while waiting for the sale to end.
The Farming Fair Launch ensures that every single token contributed to the pool generates extra yield.
Key Benefits:
Since all participants enter under the same terms, the token supply ends up being more fairly distributed among a wider base of users, and this often leads to a stronger and more committed community, reducing the risk of sudden large sell-offs by early investors.
Everyone has access to the sale at the same time, this means there are no privileged allocations for VCs, insiders, or whales.
Investors can feel more confident knowing the project isn’t backed by silent whales looking to exit, and this fosters a healthier price discovery and supports more organic growth post-launch.

How does the farming work?
Each project is required to allocate an extra fixed percentage of the token supply to sale farming pool. This allocation will guarantee a boosted APR to all participants. Early birds will farm with an higher APR compared to late participants.
5. LBP ( Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool )
A Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) is a dynamic and capital-efficient token distribution method that adjusts token prices over time based on predefined weight changes. Instead of relying on a fixed price, LBPs start with a high initial token price that gradually decreases, encouraging fair price discovery and reducing the advantage of bots or whales. As participants buy tokens, market demand can naturally push the price back up. This model allows projects to launch with minimal initial capital, while still attracting meaningful liquidity and achieving a broad distribution of tokens through open and transparent mechanics.
