FairRound lets crypto projects raise money through fair rounds: everyone filled in a round pays one clearing price, per-round caps get small buyers real fills, and 99% of the raise goes into a treasur
FairRound: the on-chain IPO exchange for crypto projects. Own the price discovery.
The problem
Token launches have taught buyers to expect losing. Insiders get in cheap through presales, bots snipe the first blocks, whales take oversubscribed sales, and the raise sits in a wallet the team controls. Public token sales raised $2.9B in 2025 but only $58M in Q2 2026, the weakest quarter in five years. Buyers didn't quit crypto; they quit rigged launches.
Why existing launchpads fall short
Presale launchpads let insiders in first, and the raise goes to the team wallet.
Bonding curves (pump.fun style) reward the fastest, so bots win.
Uniswap auctions find a fair price, but bigger bids take the sale and the team keeps the raise.
MetaDAO protects the raise, and demand followed: one sale was 127× oversubscribed in July 2026. But buyers got under 1% of what they asked for, and it runs only on Solana.
FairRound is the only one that gets all four right: one price, small buyers filled, the raise protected, and holders able to remove the team.
The solution
Crypto projects list on FairRound the way companies go public, with five rules enforced by code:
One clearing price per hourly round. Speed and gas give no edge.
Small buyers filled: at most 150 units a round, over many rounds.
99% of the raise goes to the project treasury; 1% is the FairRound fee.
Every treasury payment is a holder vote, with a 5-day delay and at most 5% per term.
At 50% sold, holders elect the project lead, and can recall them.
