DOTPad provides a unified crowdfunding platform for all things Substrate, giving future Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem projects a means to bootstrap their development, grow their userbase, and fast-track their development.
Widely billed as the first framework for building true third-generation blockchains, Substrate is poised to become the platform of choice for new blockchains. We ensure the most promising projects leveraging Substrate technology get the funding and resources they need to thrive.
The most ambitious of projects looking to deploy their own layer 1 blockchain built on Substrate — think the next Polkadot or Kusama
Promising projects looking to deploy on Polkadot or Kusama as a parachain/parathread
Sought-after projects looking to host their DApps and infrastructure on a pre-existing parachain across Polkadot, Kusama, or both
Platforms that extend, augment, or open up the functionality of projects in the Polkadot, Kusama, or general Substrate ecosystem
As part of our goal to unlock the very best of the Polkadot ecosystem and maximize the number of high-quality opportunities available to DOTPad participants, we forged a working relationship with Master Ventures’ Dot Fund.
Although most blockchains exist as siloed ecosystems that are unable to communicate or exchange value, it is clear that the future of blockchain is interoperable.
Both Polkadot and Kusama pose an attractive resolution to the interoperability problem, by providing the infrastructure for an open, cross-chain landscape of products, where applications built on separate blockchains can easily communicate with one another.
For the most ground-breaking projects
Rapid governance
Often a stepping stone to Polkadot
For battle-tested, proven projects
Slower governance
With parachain slot auctions now live for both platforms, we fully expect to see a mad dash of high-quality projects launching on Kusama and Polkadot!
Substrate is fast. Plain and simple. Depending on their exact configuration, Substrate-based chains can achieve a throughput of potentially thousands of transactions per second (tps)
All Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem projects are backed by the robust shared security of the relay chain
Both Kusama and Polkadot leverages the ultra energy-efficient nominated Proof-of-Stake consensus
Cross-parachain communication enables a whole range of use case that were not possible on previously isolated sovereign blockchains
Capable of scaling to over 1 million tps, Polkadot and Kusama are able to support the mass market applications of tomorrow
As an open-source ecosystem, Substrate provides builders with an entire suite of tools, modules, and battle-tested code that can be used to go from ideation to product in record time
As a platform designed to democratize access to the next generation of Substrate-based projects and Polkadot/Kusama applications, DOTPad will primarily focus on quality over quantity — paying particular attention to projects with long-term potential.
The main deflationary mechanisms of DOTPad include a 10% fee on all token sales (sell orders) and early unstaking fees of up to 25%.
7.5% of the fees will be rewarded to stakers in ???
2.5% will be burned forever
There will also be an option to unstake early. This will apply a 25% burn fee. If you wait 21 days to unstake, there will be NO FEE.
The first deflationary launchpad for Substrate, Kusama, and Polkadot ecosystems

Cross-chain project launches are increasingly commonplace.
As the crypto landscape has evolved to include more and more blockchains, most projects now have some degree of cross-chain focus on their roadmap — whether that be simply maintaining a token on multiple chains, or under assumption that they will eventually deploy their product on multiple platforms. With the advent of more capable cross-chain solutions like Substrate, Kusama, and Polkadot ecosystems, it is likely that cross-chain support will eventually become a necessity, rather than an option.
Following the resounding success of BSCPad and the recent redoubling of our cross-chain efforts, we now have the infrastructure, expertise, and team in place to expand to the Substrate, Kusama, and Polkadot ecosystems — where we will begin supporting the grassroots innovations occurring on this promising new chain.
Backed by a massive marketing machine comprised of an impressive KOL lineup and an army of marketers, DOTPad will benefit from the same levels of exposure seen by our previous launches — including BSCPad and TronPad — which achieved 300x+ ROIs and went viral on numerous platforms including CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap and Twitter.
The simple fact is, we have the resources, knowledge, and experience to deliver winning launchpad products — and DOTPad will be no exception.
As the IDO space has experienced exponential growth, the number of new projects has exploded. In this new landscape, a premium is being placed on selecting and investing in only the best projects. Our new incubator program will select and support the most promising teams and projects, giving them marquee status across our ecosystem of launchpads. Think of these projects as ‘tentpole’ projects, or the main events in our calendar.
