1. Funding Tier:

Tier 1 - 3 whole development process: Funding amount requested - $100K

2. Project Overview

2.1 Project title and description of the project.


Project Title: TurboStarter
Project Slogan: Accelerate ideas of tomorrow.
Project Description:

  • TurboStarter is conflux’s first Launchpad built on a premium ecosystem, with features including Stake, Launchpool, IGO, INO, etc.
  • Premium ecosystems (especially tier-2 CEXs) can use TurboStarter to create their own LaunchPad to empower their ecosystem.
  • Conflux’s top projects can benefit from high-quality traffic sources.
  • Users can stake their tokens (CFX, KCS, GT, MX, etc) and receive lottery tickets to qualify for public sales and airdrops for top projects, as well as join our active and growing community and participate in governance.

2.2 How will this project be integrated into Conflux?

  • Product: TurboStarter’s genesis launch will be on the Conflux Network, the product contains Stake, Launchpool, IGO, INO, and other features.

  • Marketing: Find top projects on conflux and help their launch. At the same time, communicate with premium ecosystem( tier 2 cex and other popular projects), build more stake pool, get more users.

  • Specifically, for the first batch of candidates, we will select trending projects to be launched from the conflux ecosystem. And the launch list will be determined through decentralized governance methods (e.g., CFX voting).

  • Simultaneously, we will continue to communicate with tier-2 exchanges such as Kucoin, Gate, MEXC, Hotbit, ZB, Hoo, and others to add traffic and support to TurboStarter.

2.3 Why is your team interested in creating this project?

We want to offer global users a low-risk way to participate in investments. This is critical for venture capital to gain global traction because most retail investors have low risk tolerance and cannot afford to risk a large portion of their money.
Our goal is to improve the quality of life for millions of people while providing a new source of capital for innovation around the world by giving ordinary people the opportunity to safely grow their wealth.

The reason for choosing Conflux Network is that there is no Launchpad on conflux, which is an essential part of the blockchain ecosystem. However, there is a huge demand for launchpads from the Conflux community and Conflux Dapp projects.

3. Project Details:

3.1 High-level technical approach, product flow & architecture (along with a diagram).


a. Ecosystem: Every ecosystem should build its stake pool, and assign the task.
b. Project: Project teams can submit project materials and listing applications to TurboStater, and Conflux community members can vote on the decision using CFX. Once approved, project teams can combine, GameFiPool, NFTPool, and other models to create their own launch plans.
c. Users: First, users can complete tasks or stake tokens to get lottery tickets; then they can participate in sales and airdrops lucky draw with KYC. Finally, the winners will find their allocation on our website after verifying their wallet.

3.2 Any mockup designs of user interfacing components.

  • Technology Stack
  • ReactJS for frontend
  • Conflux SDK for connecting frontend to blockchain services
  • Solidity for Stake, Lottery, Airdrops, TokenSwap, NFTSwap.
  • ExpressJS for market data

3.4 Ecosystem fit: How can the project benefit Conflux Network’s ecosystem?

  1. By building more stake pools, TurboStarter could attract more premium ecosystems for conflux, empower the conflux network.
  2. Help top projects on conflux to start, at the same time, attract more premium projects deploy on conflux.
  3. Providing low-risk participation frameworks is essential to reach globalretail in conflux.

4. Team:

TurboStarter is proposed by a global-based decentralized autonomous organization. The core members graduated from world-renowned universities (University of Chicago, Tsinghua University, UCLA, etc.), worked for Blackrock, Lyft, Huobi, Meituan and other companies, and have many years of experience in crypto startups. The core team and early contributors prefer to remain anonymous and firmly believe that a decentralized financial world should be initiated by a decentralized organization and further developed and governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

Welcome, seems like the people in China are hard to participant in the KYC process? Any solution to solve this problem?

Conflux would greatly benefit from having a launchpad, I’ve seen some projects originally intending to launch here migrate to other chains and the presence of launchpads was definitely part of the reason.

How to get rid of the voting result is more related to the whale user’s preference?

Thank you for the great questions! TurboStarter is a decentralized platform, whether there is a KYC process is determined by the project. Residents from China can choose to participate in projects that accepts Chinese KYC or ones that don’t have any KYC requirements.

Yeah, This is also our original intention for this project.

We will use the two parameters of the number of voters and the number of tokens held by voters to determine whether the project is approved.

Must support, has your stake contract been audited? Better to review it to avoid risk.
