Integration Grants Application: LastWord.ai - Gamified AI Token Launchpad

#1

Introduction
We propose to develop LastWord.ai, a gamified launchpad for AI tokens on the Conflux Network. The core protocol implements an innovative incentive mechanism for liquidity bootstrapping in which:

  1. The latest wallet to submit liquidity before a threshold is reached gets to decide on the ticker and lore of the token. This encourages others to outbid in a fun race.
  2. A bonding curve encourages early liquidity provision (the price gets higher later).
  3. Once a threshold for liquidity is reached, the token is automatically listed on a DEX. Users can build social media bots to spread the ticker and lore submitted by the last wallet.

Benefit to Conflux Ecosystem

  • Brings innovative tokenomics to Conflux ecosystem
  • Creates engagement through competitive liquidity provision
  • Attracts AI projects and communities
  • Increases network activity through automated token launches

Competitive Edge
LastWord.ai brings unique innovations to token launches on Conflux:

  • First platform with last-contributor naming rights and lore creation
  • Fair price discovery through bonding curves
  • Automated DEX listing and liquidity provision
  • Built-in social bot integration for organic community growth
  • Gamified liquidity provision that drives engagement

Are you an incorporated startup?
Yes, we are incorporated in France.

Technical Introduction
Problem Statement
Current token launches lack engagement and fair distribution mechanisms. Projects struggle with initial liquidity and community building.

Existing Solutions
Traditional launchpads use lack incentive mechanisms for late liquidity provision, leading to poor price discovery and reduced engagement. AI tokens, due to the importance of ticker and lore, offer unique rewards for continued engagement.

Purpose of the System
LastWord.ai aims to make token launches fun and fair while ensuring immediate liquidity and organic community growth.

Technical Proposal

  • Smart contract protocol for last-contributor rewards
  • Bonding curve implementation
  • Auto-DEX listing mechanism
  • Bot API for community engagement
  • Front-end with Integration of Privy

Hello,

quick questions. Which existing product is LastWord.ai the most similar with?

#3

Hey Team,

Thank you for submitting your proposal. I have a few suggestions for areas that could use further refinement:

  • The Foundation generally does not allocate funds for testnet deployments. We strongly encourage projects to prioritize mainnet deployment as part of their first milestone.
  • Consider enhancing your Milestone list with more detailed performance and social KPIs. These should offer a clearer view of the project’s growth path and highlight the direct value it brings to Conflux.
  • Incorporating sub-milestones with aligned KPIs could also improve the structure and clarity of your plan.
  • Could you clarify how your solution is expected to drive TVL and contribute to growth on the Conflux chain?
  • What makes your protocol stand out, and why would users choose it over existing alternatives?
  • Please elaborate on your growth initiatives as well as your long-term sustainability targets and goals.

Looking forward to your response!

As a launchpad, LastWord.ai would be in the same category as Fjord Foundry or Pump.fun, with the added ability to launch social media agents and the gamified incentives (last submitter gets naming rights) that are particularly important for AI tokens, like Truth Terminal, given the importance of the ticker and lore (LLM prompt) for community building and the functioning of the agents.

#5

Thank you for the valuable feedback.

1, Conflux mainnet deployment was intended in the “Launch & Growth” milestone. I have explicitly added it as a bullet point to clarify.
2. Added KPIs regarding active users, campaigns, socials, and partnerships.
3. LastWord.ai will directly add liquidity to the Conflux network through the liquidity bootstrapping campaigns for AI tokens, and indirectly via DEXes, if some of these tokens end up becoming successful among traders.
4. We are not aware of existing token launchpads on Conflux (though it seems that a proposal for one has been submitted after ours on this forum). Among existing launchpads, we believe users will appreciate having a contribution to the narrative of the tokens they rally behind; “true community ownership” is our intended competitive edge.
5. Growth initiatives include targetting meme coin and AI coin communities and partnerships with players in the space to set LastWord.ai and Conflux as the place to go for AI token launches. A long-term sustainability target would be one widely successful AI token community ($50M+ market cap) emerging out of our launchpad.

Please consider incorporating the ‘Launch and Growth’ milestone into your first milestone, with the mainnet deployment included as part of this initial phase, as mentioned in my earlier comments.

Regarding your KPIs, could you clarify what is meant by “concurrent active campaigns” and “completion rate”? These terms are somewhat ambiguous. I suggest adopting KPIs that provide a clearer picture of your project’s growth, such as the number of tokens launched, TVL, number of transactions, monthly unique wallets, website traffic, and key social media metrics. To provide greater clarity on your project’s growth, consider introducing sub-milestones with targeted KPIs.

Additionally, could you elaborate on the marketing initiatives and incentives designed to boost user retention and onboard tokens, particularly in light of the heavy competition in the space? Clear strategies in this area will strengthen your proposal.
