LaunchOS

LaunchOS is Laika’s issuance rail — a curated and permissionless launch system that ships tokens with structure from day one.

Every launch can auto-bootstrap a DAO, a treasury, and staking (StakeOS), so projects graduate from meme → market without duct-taping infra.


What LaunchOS solves

Most launchpads optimize for speed and virality; they leave teams with no treasury, no DAO, no incentive design. LaunchOS flips the script:

  • Signal > noise: curation is earned on-chain (not back-channeled).

  • Built-in structure: DAO + staking + treasury at genesis.

  • Aligned incentives: emissions and bribes route to communities that organize.

  • Anti-frontrun design: commit–reveal voting + randomized go-live.


Two paths, one backbone

1) Cabal Launch (curated)

For projects that want meritocratic selection and insider-level earned perks.

  • Commit–reveal voting by veLAIKA and veTOKEN holders (no interim leaderboards).

  • Weighted by vePower (USD-normalized); no quadratic bias.

  • Randomized launch window post-vote (anti-sniping).

  • Alpha Window for aligned participants:

    • Top 3 StakeOS pools by vePower get a private alpha ping ~1h before TGE.

    • Supportive voters of the winner get 1-minute early access (per-address buy cap, e.g. $5k).

  • Auto-bootstrap: bonding-curve settlement triggers DAO + treasury seeding + StakeOS pool.

2) Open Launch (permissionless)

For creators who need to go fast without sacrificing structure.

  • Anyone can launch by committing a DAO allocation (e.g., 5–25% of total supply).

  • When bonding-curve conditions are met:

    • Liquidity migrates to BarkSwap (DEX).

    • DAO is deployed and treasury receives its predefined share of curve proceeds.

    • Project becomes eligible for StakeOS listing.

Both paths share the same infrastructure: bonding curves, auto-DAO, treasury routing, analytics dashboards, and hooks into StakeOS / ShillOS.


Default parameters (governance-tunable)

  • Treasury allocation (project-set, enforced at deploy): 5–25% of total supply.

  • DAO seeding (curated): a portion of supply (e.g., up to 15%) seeded at/after TGE.

  • Whitelist window (curated): 1 minute; $5k per address cap (anti-whale burst).

  • Reveal & go-live: commit–reveal end → randomized TGE within 7-day window.

  • Bonding curve: shape/params chosen at submission from vetted presets.

  • Anti-bot: rate-limiting, proof-of-humanity options, allowlist for alpha window.

Exact values can be updated via protocol governance; projects see the active defaults at submission time.


End-to-end flow

For projects / teams

  1. Submit metadata (brand kit, tokenomics, allocation, curve preset, DAO params).

  2. Choose path (Cabal or Open).

  3. (Cabal only) Participate in a stealth epoch; no interim results.

  4. Prepare launch: confirm treasury split, StakeOS policy, initial bribe budget (optional).

  5. TGE: alpha ping + whitelist minute (if curated) → full public open.

  6. Auto-bootstrap: DAO deployed; treasury funded; StakeOS pool created; BarkSwap migration configured.

  7. Post-launch: publish first proposals (budgets, staking incentives), optionally trigger ShillOS campaigns.

For voters / curators (veLAIKA + veTOKEN)

  • Review submissions in-app; vote commit–reveal during the weekly epoch.

  • Support winners to earn alpha access and future bribes/yield via StakeOS.

For early participants

  • Alpha recipients (top pools + supportive voters) get the 1-minute window.

  • Everyone else enters at the public open; no hidden backdoor deals.


Anti-frontrun & fairness

  • Commit–reveal: hides interim tallies, prevents last-minute dogpiles.

  • Randomized TGE window: reduces bot timing advantage.

  • Per-wallet caps in alpha minute: curbs single-wallet dominance.

  • Transparent rules on-chain: same playbook for every project.


Integrations on day one (bonded tokens)

  • StakeOS

    • Single-asset ve(3,3) pool created with the token’s policy (min/max lock, reward split).

    • Projects can bribe veLAIKA voters to route emissions to their pool.

  • GovernOS

    • DAO treasury and governance contracts deployed; default quorum/timelocks applied.

    • Proposal templates (budgets, emissions, buyback & burn, creator campaigns).

  • ShillOS

    • Campaign brief templates; escrow → proof-of-publication → payout flows.

    • Creator/KOL discovery and on-chain payment rails.

  • BarkSwap

    • Post-curve liquidity migration; LP policy presets (fees, incentives).


Benefits at a glance

  • Curation without gatekeeping — anyone can launch; earned insiders get alpha.

  • Structure by default — DAO/treasury/staking live at genesis.

  • Merit-based access — governance and engagement convert into real perks.

  • Ongoing alignment — emissions and bribes reward communities that organize.


Notes & disclaimers

  • LaunchOS is non-custodial. Projects remain responsible for their disclosures and legal compliance.

  • Whitelist minute and caps apply only to curated launches; public access follows immediately after.

  • Bribes are non-refundable once a voting epoch starts; outcomes and routing are on-chain.

  • Parameters shown at submission are the source of truth; changes require governance approval.


TL;DR

LaunchOS turns token issuance into a programmable, fair and structured process. Projects arrive as economies, not tickers. Communities earn insider-level perks on-chain. And from day one, everything connects to the rest of the Super App flywheel.
