            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*EHGdiMa9bdWrNvh3OJBjSg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Cadets,</p><p>You’ve noticed the silence. Months without a launch, a countdown, anything on the calendar. You deserve a straight answer, so here it is: we’re winding down StarLaunch’s launchpad activity. No new IDOs, no node sales, no launches. The pad is going quiet for now.</p><p>This isn’t something we decided overnight, or lightly.</p><p>Since 2021 we’ve flown through every kind of weather this space could throw at us, and we never stood still. We launched IDOs in bull markets and bear markets. We grew out from our Solana home to Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, SKALE and beyond. When the IDO model cooled off, we moved into node sales and brought our Cadets deals on Aethir, CARV and Rivalz they couldn’t get anywhere else. We incubated projects, made strategic investments, and rebuilt the whole platform with StarLaunch 2.0. We changed everything we could change. The one thing we can’t change is the market.</p><p>And when things didn’t go our way, we made it right. In 2022 we refunded an entire sale when the raise came up short of what the project needed, because putting it live anyway would have put you at risk. In 2023 we wrote an IDO Price Refund Policy and actually ran it, sending USDC back when a launch slipped below IDO price. When we saw an opening, we went back to the table and got our SUPRA participants 125% more tokens on better vesting. That’s how we’ve operated since day one. Your interests first, every time.</p><p>This call comes from that same standard. The instruments don’t lie. Quality projects have dried up. Most launches across the space are going negative. Presale activity on every major platform is down roughly 80% from last year. The launchpad narrative has stopped working, and not just for us. For everyone.</p><p>We could have kept the calendar full anyway. Plenty of platforms do: spin up a launch, push a sale, keep the lights looking on. We’re not going to. Every launch in this market would have put you in front of something we didn’t believe in, and that’s not how we’ve ever worked. Your time and your money are worth more than launches run for the sake of running them.</p><p>So here’s what this actually means, plainly. The launchpad is what’s winding down, nothing else. No new IDOs, no node sales, no launches. We’re stepping back and keeping our heads down for a while rather than forcing activity that isn’t there. From here we’ll see what the next steps are, or look at other alternatives.</p><p>Your $STARS is yours. It lives on Solana, not on starlaunch.com, and nothing about that changes today. We’ve temporarily disabled vault functionality, and we’ve returned all staked STARS, along with the rewards, to their respective owners. Past sales are fully vested and distributed, so there’s nothing left hanging on our side. If anything about the token changes down the line, you’ll hear it from us first, with enough notice to act.</p><p>We’re not going fully dark on you. We’ve set aside a small budget for a few raffles over the coming weeks. Nothing to buy, nothing to push, just a little given back to the Cadets still around. Keep an eye on Discord.</p><p>We’ll have more to say when there’s something real to say. Until then, thanks for flying this stretch with us, Cadets.</p><p>o7!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=bbecb82c3222" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*elUFNIZWk1DGcpDA03GuZw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Participating in StarLaunch sales is straightforward, with <strong>anyone being eligible, whether you’re staking $STARS or not</strong>. This guide explains how the process works and how allocations are determined.</p><p>StarLaunch is using an <strong>oversubscription model</strong> for its sales, which means all allocations are <strong>first-come, first-served (FCFS)</strong>. Even if you qualify for an allocation, you need to act quickly to purchase and secure your allocation. Everyone plays by the same rules; stakers, new users, and whales. The system is simple enough for newcomers, powerful enough for pros.</p><h3>Step 1 — Connect your wallet and complete KYC</h3><ul><li>Connect the wallet you will use to the <a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/"><strong>StarLaunch app</strong></a></li><li>Complete <a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/kyc"><strong>KYC</strong></a> so you are eligible for sales.</li><li>To start verification, <strong>click on your KYC status</strong> in the player banner at the top of the page</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/919/1*VZeexFeWp7u2CpOR8vXMhA.png" /></figure><ul><li>Then click on <strong>Start Verification</strong>.</li><li>You will be redirected to Ondato. Follow the instructions. Verification typically takes only a few minutes.</li><li>You can also watch this short video tutorial:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ7hu5MRj2E"> <strong>StarLaunch KYC Guide</strong></a></li></ul><h3>Step 2 — Add your wallet for non-Solana projects</h3><p>StarLaunch supports projects from different chains, but both our platform and main token, $STARS, are Solana based.</p><p>If the project is not launching on Solana, you will have to add your wallet address for the required chain in your <a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/player-dashboard/account-settings"><strong>Player Dashboard</strong></a><strong> </strong>section. This ensures your allocation and eventual tokens are correctly linked.</p><h3>Sale structure — Single 4-day stage</h3><p>Every sale now has <strong>one single stage.</strong> Users can stake, KYC, and buy within minutes. That simplicity directly boosts participation.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*nWjsD1Ywsj4epZoBzd_Bfg.png" /></figure><p><strong><em>Once the sale is live:</em></strong></p><ul><li><strong>Stakers</strong> can fund their allocation obtained through staking $STARS using USDC. They also have the option to increase their allocation further by burning additional $STARS at the fixed rate.</li><li><strong>Non-stakers</strong> can burn $STARS at the same fixed rate to secure an allocation, and then purchase it with USDC.</li></ul><p><strong><em>Example:</em></strong><br>If the fixed ratio for a sale is <strong>1 $STARS burned = $0.10 allocation</strong>, burning <strong>100 $STARS</strong> gives you a <strong>$10 allocation</strong>, which can be directly funded with USDC.</p><p>Everyone can see the raise filling up live. The faster people fund, the faster it closes, creating urgency, transparency, and a reason to act. At the same time, every sale permanently burns $STARS, reducing supply and increasing utility. Each sale contributes to a continuous burn loop and creates ongoing demand.</p><h3>Claiming tokens and vesting</h3><p>The respective project’s vesting details and claim instructions are displayed on the <a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/player-dashboard/claim"><strong>Claims Page</strong></a> as soon as they are available.</p><h3>Quick checklist</h3><ul><li>Connect to<a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/"> https://app.starlaunch.com/</a> and complete KYC (takes a few minutes)</li><li>Add your wallet for non-Solana projects in the Player Dashboard section</li><li>Burn $STARS during the sale if you want to increase your allocation beyond what staking provides</li><li>Fund your allocation with USDC directly during the 4-day window (and make sure you have some SOL in your wallet for gas fees)</li><li>Claim tokens at TGE (Token Generation Event) by following instructions on the Claims Page</li></ul><p>By following these steps, you’ll be fully prepared for every StarLaunch sale. Make sure your KYC is complete, your $STARS and USDC are ready, and your wallet is set up for the project’s respective chain. Act quickly during the sale window, and you’ll be ready to participate and claim your tokens as soon as TGE (Token Generation Event) takes place.</p><p>Beyond making participation simple for users, the new system also makes it easier for projects to onboard their communities. They can simply say, “Stake or burn STARS to join.” The process is easier to promote, easier to integrate, and far more appealing to first-time launchpad users.</p><p><a href="https://www.starlaunch.com/">Website</a> ||<a href="https://discord.gg/zsK7AmTWRK"> Discord</a> || <a href="https://twitter.com/StarLaunchSOL">Twitter</a> || <a href="https://t.me/StarLaunchANN">Telegram</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=a1c4b09d672a" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

But before that happens, we’re giving every holder the chance to <strong>swap their Hydrazine for $STARS</strong>.</p><h3>How the Swap Works</h3><p>We calculated the <strong>Hydrazine → $STARS rates</strong> using geometric average prices over the past 268 days. This method smooths volatility and ensures a fairer valuation for long-term holders.</p><h3>Conversion Rates</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*-VTH-66qbC-cjRMHSAYZyg.jpeg" /></figure><p><em>The longer you lock, the higher your conversion rate.</em></p><h3>Swap Details</h3><ul><li><strong>Swap Window:</strong> Open Now till December 31st, 2025 (23:59 UTC)</li><li><strong>Penalty:</strong> Force unlocking your vault before the staking period ends, forfeits all your $STARS staked.</li></ul><p>If you’ve been holding and gathering Hydrazine through $STARS staking over the years, now’s your moment. Lock your $STARS, grow your rewards, and continue your journey under a unified system.</p><h3>How to Participate</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/675/1*LAUHk29UC2LjwL9c_3S5CQ.png" /></figure><ol><li><strong>Complete KYC Verification</strong><br>(If you’re not verified yet, head to ‘Info Hub’ and click ‘KYC Info’ to start verification.)</li><li>Visit Starlaunch’s <strong>Player’s Dashboard</strong></li><li>Click <a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/player-dashboard/hydrazine-swap"><strong>Hydra Conv.</strong></a></li><li>Connect your wallet</li><li>Choose your lock duration: 90, 180, or 360 days</li><li>Confirm your swap</li><li>Watch your new STARS vault begin earning for the future</li></ol><p>That’s it! No complex formulas or multiple steps. Your journey continues seamlessly in the new $STARS ecosystem.</p><h3>The Final Hydrazine Raffle</h3><p>Before Hydrazine’s last burn, we’ll host one last <strong>Hydrazine Raffle,</strong> a celebration where Cadets can use their remaining Hydrazine to win an exclusive prize. It’s the perfect farewell flight for the fuel that powered our first era.</p><p><strong>FAQ — Quick Answers</strong></p><ol><li><strong>How long do I have to swap?<br></strong>You will have till <strong>December 31st, 2025 (23:59 utc)</strong> from the release of this article.</li><li><strong>Can I unstake early?<br></strong>No. Early unstaking triggers a <strong>100% penalty</strong> on your stake rewards.</li><li><strong>Will Hydrazine have any use after this?<br></strong> No, after the swap and raffle, Hydrazine will be phased out completely.</li><li><strong>What if I miss the swap?<br></strong>After the window closes, you will be able to use the remaining Hydrazine on Raffles.</li><li><strong>Do I need to complete KYC to participate?<br></strong> Yes.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*LA_xwuogE7fBJcEdVHRWDA.jpeg" /></figure><p><strong>Cadets,</strong></p><p>Every great mission evolves. And after years of launches, testing, and iteration, we’re making one of our most important upgrades yet: <strong>moving from a dual-token model to a unified $STARS-only system.</strong></p><h3>Why the Change?</h3><p>For years, Starlaunch ran on a <strong>dual-token system</strong>:</p><ul><li><strong>STARS</strong>: our governance and staking token</li><li><strong>Hydrazine:</strong> our utility and allocation fuel</li></ul><p>That structure helped us grow fast, but it also introduced challenges that limited long-term sustainability.</p><p>Here’s why it’s time to evolve beyond it:</p><h3>1. Hydrazine Was Inflationary</h3><p>Hydrazine kept emitting new tokens, even when sales were paused. Over time, this constant emission created inflationary pressure, especially during bear markets when trading activity slowed.</p><p>A system that endlessly inflates can’t thrive in the long term. Moving to $<strong>STARS-only</strong> fixes that by aligning rewards with real platform activity.</p><h3>2. Stronger in All Market Conditions</h3><p>An inflationary token struggles when demand dips. By consolidating into one token, we make Starlaunch more <strong>resilient and self-sustaining</strong>, no matter how the market behaves.</p><h3>3. Simplicity for New Cadets</h3><p>Two tokens meant a higher learning curve. Now, with $<strong>STARS as the single fuel</strong>, every new Cadet can onboard faster, stake, earn, and participate in sales with just one token.</p><h3>4. Unified Liquidity</h3><p>Previously, liquidity was split between two markets. Consolidating into one means <strong>stronger liquidity, tighter price action, and higher demand</strong> for $STARS.</p><h3>5. A Deflationary, Rewarding Cycle</h3><p>Under the new system, $<strong>STARS becomes deflationary</strong>. Every launch reduces supply while rewarding stakers.<br> It’s a system built to grow in strength the longer you stay part of it.</p><h3>The Big Picture</h3><p>This isn’t just a token change, it’s a shift in philosophy.<br> We’re moving toward <strong>clarity, sustainability, and simplicity</strong>, laying the foundation for long-term growth.</p><p>Hydrazine helped us get here, it was the spark.<br> But now, $<strong>STARS is the engine</strong> that will carry us into the next generation of launches.</p><h3>What Happens Next</h3><p>The <strong>Hydrazine Swap</strong> is now live, allowing you to convert your N2H4 into STARS with generous lock options and reduced rates over a 90-day window.</p><p>You can read the full swap guide and details here:<br><a href="https://medium.com/p/73f70fece870/edit"><strong>Hydrazine Swap: Step Guide</strong></a></p><h3>In Summary</h3><ul><li>Hydrazine’s inflationary model made it hard to sustain long-term growth</li><li>The STARS-only system simplifies participation and strengthens liquidity</li><li>New deflationary mechanics reward long-term stakers</li><li>The Hydrazine Swap ensures no one is left behind</li></ul><p>Hydrazine was the fuel of our past, but <strong>STARS is the power of our future.</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=bd6cd276f8f6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The StarLaunch Airdrop is <a href="https://zealy.io/cw/starlaunch">here</a>, giving our community an exciting way to earn $STARS, engage with the platform, and unlock access to StarLaunch opportunities for up to a year. The campaign runs until <strong>November 9, 4:00 PM UTC</strong>. Now is the perfect time to jump in and start completing quests.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*77u6Hwhp3LiDdlI_Npf4Rw.png" /></figure><h3>Start with Eligibility Quests</h3><p>Before you can earn rewards, you need to complete the <strong>eligibility quests</strong>. These are required for anyone who wants to participate in the airdrop. Without completing them, no $STARS can be earned. All other quests will be locked behind these ones.</p><p>Completing the <strong>last eligibility quest</strong>, will give you the <strong>@Zealy Onboarded</strong> role in our Discord. We will tag this role whenever new quests are added to the campaign, so you’ll always know when there are fresh opportunities to earn more XP.</p><h3>Rewards Grow with Community Participation</h3><p>The total rewards pool increases as more people join the campaign and complete their eligibility quests. The tiers are:</p><ul><li>Up to 100 participants: <strong>200,000 $STARS</strong></li><li>101–250 participants: <strong>350,000 $STARS</strong></li><li>251–500 participants: <strong>600,000 $STARS</strong></li><li>501+ participants: <strong>1,000,000 $STARS</strong></li></ul><p>Inviting friends helps the community reach higher tiers. Each friend must complete their eligibility quests for the invite to count. As the number of participants grows, the total rewards grow too, meaning everyone benefits when the community gets involved.</p><p>Rewards will be distributed based on the <strong>XP earned from quests</strong>. The more XP you earn, the larger your share of the $STARS rewards. This means every quest you complete directly increases the amount of $STARS you will get and helps you unlock access to StarLaunch sales for up to a year!</p><h3>Quest Rules and Auto-Verification</h3><p>The airdrop features a variety of quests, some of which require manual verification. To keep progress smooth, certain quests are <strong>auto-verified</strong> so you can continue with other quests immediately. Quests that require submitting your SOL wallet or other details typically fall into this category.</p><p>For these quests, you will see the following note:</p><p><strong><em>“Note: </em></strong><em>This quest is auto-verified so you can continue with other quests right away. Our team will regularly review all submissions to confirm they are valid. Invalid submissions will be marked as failed and the XP gained will be removed. Repeated false claims may result in your account being flagged and disqualified from the campaign.”</em></p><p>This means you can keep moving forward without waiting, but any incorrect or fake submissions will be caught, and repeated attempts may result in disqualification. Genuine participation is the only way to earn XP and unlock rewards.</p><h3>New Quests Added Throughout the Campaign</h3><p>The airdrop includes a wide range of quests, and more will be added regularly. Some quests will only be available for a limited time, so it pays to check back often. Staying active ensures you can maximize your XP and your share of the rewards.</p><h3>How to Get Started</h3><p>Joining is simple. Head over to<a href="https://zealy.io/cw/starlaunch"> Zealy</a>, complete your eligibility quests, dive into the available challenges, and invite friends to join the campaign. Track your XP, unlock more opportunities, and contribute to the community reaching higher reward tiers.</p><p>The StarLaunch Airdrop is more than just earning $STARS. It is a way to engage with the platform, connect with other participants, and secure access to StarLaunch allocations for the coming year. Get started now and be part of the momentum.</p><p><strong>About StarLaunch<br></strong>StarLaunch is a unique and dynamic incubator and launchpad, connecting promising Web3 projects to early supporters and a network of key partners.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cadets,</p><p>Staking is at the heart of StarLaunch, and this is your guide to mastering it. By committing your $STARS, you increase your allocation power for sales, start earning APR rewards and earn XP to level up. Whether your goal is to advance your level, participate in launches, or grow your $STARS, this guide covers everything you need to know.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*x2zbqPJxYdVms2a_wsP91g.jpeg" /></figure><h3>How Staking Works</h3><ol><li><strong>Head to the Vault<br></strong>Navigate to<a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/vault"> app.starlaunch.com/vault</a> and connect your wallet.</li><li><strong>Create a vault account<br></strong>Make sure you have some SOL in your wallet for the transaction fees.<br>If you don’t have one yet, create a Vault account. After that, click “Create Vault Box” to start your stake.</li><li><strong>Choose Your Amount<br></strong>In the “Create Vault Box” pop-up, enter the amount of $STARS you want to stake.</li><li><strong>Select Your Lock Duration<br></strong>Options include 90, 180, or 360 days. Longer locks give higher multipliers for allocation power, higher APR and higher multipliers for XP.</li><li><strong>Confirm the Transaction<br></strong>Approve the staking transaction in your wallet. Once confirmed, your tokens are locked and start earning rewards.</li><li><strong>Monitor Your Rewards<br></strong>Your XP and allocation power are automatically calculated. APR rewards accrue continuously and can be claimed at any point. You can claim rewards from each vault individually by opening it and clicking “Claim,” or claim from all vaults at once by clicking “Claim All.”</li><li><strong>Early Unstake Penalty<br></strong>You can unstake before the end of your lock period, but a penalty fee applies. The penalty starts at 50% of your staked $STARS on day one and decreases linearly each day, reaching 0% on the day your lock ends.</li></ol><p><strong><em>Example:</em></strong><br>If you stake 10,000 $STARS for 90 days:</p><ul><li>Day 1: Early unstake penalty = 50% → you would forfeit 5,000 $STARS</li><li>Day 45: Penalty = 25% → you would forfeit 2,500 $STARS</li><li>Day 90 (unlock day): Penalty = 0% → you can withdraw the full 10,000 $STARS</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/920/1*BfHOzj_iR-8OxYqDyua6QQ.png" /><figcaption>The “Create Vault Box” pop-up</figcaption></figure><h3>Allocation Power: Your Share of the Galaxy</h3><p>Allocation power is the key to participating in sales, and staking $STARS is the only way to earn it. Without staking, you would need to burn $STARS to participate in sales.</p><p>When you stake $STARS and choose a lock period, your stake determines how much base allocation you are eligible for. The more you stake and the longer you lock, the higher your potential allocation. Eligibility lasts only while your stake is active. Once you unstake all your staked $STARS, your allocation power also goes away with it.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*QE5_dVCnBI61b0HMlq_b1w.jpeg" /><figcaption>View your total allocation calculated from all your vaults in the top-right box.</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Each $STARS staked gives a $0.001 allocation in USDC.</strong> This rate is fixed, no matter the market price of $STARS.</p><p><strong><em>Lock multipliers:</em></strong></p><ul><li>90 days ×1</li><li>180 days ×2</li><li>360 days ×4</li></ul><p><strong><em>Example:</em></strong></p><ul><li>Stake 50,000 $STARS for 360 days</li><li>50,000 × 4 × $0.001 = $200 allocation power</li></ul><p><strong><em>Note: </em></strong><em>As mentioned in previous articles, vaults created by the temporarily available Hydrazine to $STARS swap feature, do not earn allocation power.</em></p><h3>APR Rewards: Watch Your $STARS Grow</h3><p>While staking $STARS earns XP and allocation power, APR rewards let your tokens grow passively over time. The APR you earn depends on the amount staked and your chosen lock duration. Rewards accrue continuously and can be claimed at any time. You can claim rewards from each vault individually by opening it and clicking “Claim,” or claim from all vaults at once by clicking “Claim All.”</p><h3>XP: Leveling Up Through Staking</h3><p>Staking $STARS generates XP, which helps you level up in the StarLaunch ecosystem. Higher levels unlock exclusive perks and rewards, and each level grants a rank title that reflects your standing in the StarLaunch fleet, with many more benefits coming in the future.</p><p>XP depends on how much $STARS you stake and for how long. Larger stakes and longer lock periods earn more XP.</p><p><strong><em>Lock multipliers:</em></strong></p><ul><li><strong>90-day lock:</strong> base XP</li><li><strong>180-day lock:</strong> 2× base XP</li><li><strong>360-day lock:</strong> 4× base XP</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7oIMnNi2K3MxEd7bNcVS0Q.png" /></figure><p>XP contributes to your overall level, unlocking perks, badges, and additional ecosystem privileges. The longer you stake, the more XP you earn, and the faster you level up.</p><p>By staking your $STARS, you’re not just earning rewards. You’re leveling up and strengthening your position in the StarLaunch ecosystem. Bigger stakes and longer lock periods maximize your allocation power, accelerate your XP growth, and unlock higher ranks.</p><p>Master the Vault, commit your $STARS, and watch your influence and rewards grow over time. The path to the top is in your hands. Start staking and claim your place among the stars.</p><p><strong>About StarLaunch<br></strong>StarLaunch is a unique and dynamic incubator and launchpad, connecting promising Web3 projects to early supporters and a network of key partners.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6F3iWRlb2fEeGOwNQo3ymg.png" /></figure><p><strong>Cadets,</strong></p><p>Change is the only constant in the cosmos, and today we embark on one of the biggest upgrades in Starlaunch history. For the past two years, our missions have been powered by a <strong>dual-token system,</strong> $STARS and Hydrazine. This model carried us through our early launches, but as we look ahead to future voyages, we’ve charted a simpler, stronger, and more rewarding path:</p><p>👉 <strong>We are moving to a single-token model. From now on, $STARS will be the sole fuel of our galaxy.</strong></p><p>This shift rewards loyalty, reduces complexity, and ensures every launch strengthens our ecosystem. Here’s everything you need to know, step by step.</p><h3>Why we’re moving away from Hydrazine</h3><p>Hydrazine played an important role, but it came with challenges:</p><ul><li><strong>Inflationary supply:</strong> Hydrazine kept emitting tokens even without sales, diluting value over time; especially painful in bear markets.</li><li><strong>Resilience:</strong> A single, capped governance token ($STARS) is far more sustainable during volatility.</li><li><strong>Simplicity:</strong> New Cadets no longer need to learn two tokens. One token = easier onboarding, lower learning curve.</li><li><strong>Liquidity consolidation:</strong> Instead of splitting activity between two tokens, all demand and liquidity now flow into $STARS.</li><li><strong>Controlled scarcity:</strong> Every launch now reduces circulating $STARS, creating long-term value while rewarding stakers.</li></ul><p>In short: <strong>Hydrazine served us, but STARS will take us further.</strong></p><h3>The New Model: Two clear ways to participate in sales</h3><p>From this mission onward, there are <strong>two paths into securing an allocation:</strong></p><h3>1) Stake $STARS → Automatic Allocations (the main way 🚀)</h3><ul><li>Stake $STARS and choose a lock period. Staking generates <strong>points</strong>.</li><li>The more you stake and the longer you lock, the more points you earn.</li><li><strong>Points = allocation power.</strong></li></ul><p>Lock multipliers:</p><ul><li>90 days → ×1</li><li>180 days → ×2</li><li>360 days → ×4</li></ul><p>Every <strong>1 point = $0.001 allocation in USDC</strong>. This rate is fixed, no matter the market price of $STARS.</p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><ul><li>Stake <strong>50,000 $STARS</strong> for <strong>360 days</strong> → 50,000 × 4 = <strong>200,000 points</strong>.</li><li><strong>200,000 points = $200 allocation.</strong></li><li>Allocations are <strong>first-come, first-serve (FCFS)</strong> during the Contribution Stage.</li><li>Purchase your allocation up to the maximum with <strong>USDC.</strong></li></ul><p>👉 Staking is the new superpower: the bigger and longer your commitment, the larger your allocation.</p><h3>2) Burn $STARS → Capped Allocation (secondary option)</h3><ul><li>Not staking? You can still burn $STARS during the Contribution Stage.</li><li>But this path is capped at <strong>$100 allocation per sale.</strong></li></ul><p>👉 Burning is a way to stay in the game, but <strong>staking wins big</strong>.</p><h3>Deflationary Cycle: Why $STARS Gets Rarer Every Launch</h3><p>Every contribution made in $STARS now strengthens the galaxy:</p><ul><li><strong>50% of contributed $STARS are burned forever, </strong>permanently reducing supply.</li><li><strong>50% return to the staking rewards pool,</strong> fueling those who continue staking.</li></ul><p>This creates a <strong>deflationary cycle</strong>: each launch means <strong>fewer $STARS in circulation and more rewards for loyal Cadets.</strong></p><h3>What Happens to Hydrazine?</h3><p>For Cadets who’ve been holding and grinding Hydrazine, this migration is designed <strong>as a reward</strong>. We know many of you worked hard to accumulate Hydrazine over the years staking, burning, and fueling countless launches. To honor that effort, we’ve set aside a generous pool of 1,000,000 $STARS dedicated to swaps.</p><p>Instead of using today’s spot price (which undervalues Hydrazine), we’re using the <strong>geometric average price across the past 268 days</strong> to set swap rates. This ensures you get a <strong>fairer, higher valuation.</strong></p><ul><li>Hydrazine Geometric Average price: <strong>$0.00954</strong></li><li>$STARS Geometric Average price: <strong>$0.01833</strong></li><li>Base swap rate: <strong>1 Hydrazine = 0.520 $STARS</strong> (before lock multipliers)</li></ul><p>👉 The longer you lock, the better the reward; up to <strong>10× more $STARS</strong> compared to free-tier swapping.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*g7LnlhkhaElfC3C6TWwOfA.jpeg" /></figure><h3>Urgency: 1M $STARS Pool Cap</h3><ul><li>The first swap pool is capped at <strong>1,000,000 $STARS.</strong></li><li>Once it’s filled, it closes and <strong>later pools will have lower rates.</strong></li><li>With <strong>18.3M Hydrazine in circulation,</strong> we expect this pool to deplete fast.</li></ul><p>👉 Swap early to lock in the best deal.</p><h3>Vault Rules: No Early Unlocks</h3><p>Swapped $STARS are stored in vaults. If you pick a 90d, 180d, or 360d lock, your tokens <strong>cannot be unstaked early without a 100% penalty.</strong> Choose your lock period carefully.</p><p><strong>Important</strong>! Vaults opened through the Hydrazine to $STARS swap conversion process, will not be generating points or allocation power for future sales.</p><h3>Bonus: Hydrazine Raffle 🎟️</h3><p>Before Hydrazine is removed, we will be hosting several <strong>Hydrazine Raffles</strong>. Spend your last Hydrazine tokens on raffle entries for prizes; The final mission before Hydrazine fully retires.</p><h3>What You Need to Do (Step by Step)</h3><ol><li><strong>If you hold Hydrazine:</strong></li></ol><ul><li>Go to Player Dashboard during the migration window.</li><li>Click on Hydra Conv.</li><li>Swap Hydrazine → $STARS (pick your lock period).</li><li>Act fast, pool capped at 1M $STARS.</li></ul><p><strong>2. If you want to secure an allocation for our upcoming sales:</strong></p><ul><li>Stake $STARS and choose your lock-up period (90 days/180 days/360 days).</li><li>Earn points automatically.</li><li>Points convert to guaranteed allocation ($0.01 per point).</li></ul><p><strong>3. During Contribution Stages:</strong></p><ul><li>Use your allocation to contribute in <strong>USDC.</strong></li><li>First-come, first-serve until the sale fills.</li></ul><p><strong>4. If you’re not staking:</strong></p><ul><li>You may burn $STARS for allocations, but capped at <strong>$100 per sale.</strong></li></ul><h3>Final Word</h3><p>This is the $<strong>STARS-Only Era.</strong></p><ul><li>Simpler onboarding.</li><li>Stronger tokenomics.</li><li>Bigger rewards for loyal stakers.</li><li>A fair Hydrazine exit, designed as a <strong>thank you</strong> to the community.</li></ul><p>From here on, <strong>staking $STARS is the path to power.</strong> Burning is a backup. Hydrazine is honored, swapped, raffled, and retired. And every launch from now on will make $STARS rarer and stakers stronger.</p><p>Cadets, the mission is clear. <strong>Swap early. Stake wisely. Lock longer.<br></strong> The galaxy just got simpler and far more rewarding.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=43f1fcdf6a7a" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

The more tickets you hold compared to the total sold, the higher your probability.</p><p>Here’s how it works:</p><ul><li>Each ticket counts as one entry.</li><li>Your winning odds = <strong>your tickets / total tickets</strong>.<strong>sold</strong></li><li>Example 1: If you buy 10 tickets and a total of 50 are sold, your chance of winning is <strong>10 / 50 = 20%</strong>.</li><li>Example 2: If you buy 20 tickets out of 80 total, your chance of winning is <strong>25%</strong>.</li></ul><p>Prizes include tokens, nodes, and other exclusive rewards. This system adds more utility for $STARS tokens while giving every Cadet a fun, low-stakes way to participate in the StarLaunch ecosystem.</p><h3>How to Access Raffles</h3><p>Getting started with raffles is simple:</p><ol><li>Visit<a href="https://starlaunch.com/raffles"> <strong>starlaunch.com/raffles</strong></a> to browse all active and upcoming raffle eventsB</li><li>Connect your wallet to view full raffle details</li><li>Complete KYC verification if you haven’t already (required for participation)</li><li>Purchase raffle tickets using the specified Token for that Raffle.</li><li>Watch the countdown and see if you’re a winner!</li></ol><h3>Fair and Transparent System</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*CtSw_xmbTdXEEdALGj14mA.png" /></figure><p>We’ve built our raffle system with fairness and transparency as core principles:</p><p><strong>Equal Opportunity</strong>: Each Cadet may participate in as many simultaneously active raffles as they wish</p><p><strong>Fair Limits</strong>: To ensure everyone has a chance, there’s a maximum ticket limit per user for each particular raffle</p><p><strong>Complete Transparency</strong>: For every raffle, you can view:</p><ul><li>All participants wallet addresses</li><li>Number of tickets purchased by each participant</li><li>Detailed transaction history</li><li>Your current win probability percentage</li></ul><p><strong>Proven Randomness</strong>: Winner selection is conducted on-chain with verifiable randomness</p><p><strong>Rewards: </strong>Solana prizes are airdropped directly to winning wallets. Airdrops are also likely on other chains, but this can differ.</p><p><strong>Ticket Token:</strong> Any SPL token can be used as the currency for purchasing tickets when the Raffle is created, giving Raffles a lot of flexibility. <br>USDC, STARS, Hydrazine or SOL? We can use any of them</p><h3>How to Increase Your Chances</h3><p>While raffles are designed to give everyone a fair chance, here are some tips to optimize your participation:</p><ul><li><strong>Stay Active</strong>: New raffles will be announced regularly — keep an eye on our social channels and turn on the notifications</li><li><strong>Join Early</strong>: Some raffles may offer early bird bonuses for early participants</li><li><strong>Follow Announcements</strong>: Join our Discord and follow our social media channels for exclusive raffle announcements</li></ul><h3>Upcoming Raffle Schedule</h3><p>We’re preparing an exciting line-up of raffles for the coming weeks with enticing prices, you won’t want to miss.</p><h3>Community Input</h3><p>This raffle system is just the beginning of our expanded functionality for $STARS tokens and the StarLaunch platform.

Instead of 5% at TGE, you now get 14% of your allocation unlocked at TGE! 🔥</strong></p><p>💰<strong>Here’s the breakdown how this works:</strong></p><p>Your allocation is split in 2 ways:</p><ul><li><strong>44.44%</strong> of your allocation comes with 25% unlock at TGE and the other 75% is vested over 19 months. This part of your allocation comes with liquid staking, which means that the unvested part of your allocation is automatically staked and yields staking rewards. You can see your staked tokens in your StarKey wallet and the staking rewards can be claimed at any time.</li><li><strong>55.56%</strong> of your allocation comes with a 5% unlock at TGE and the other 95% is vested over 19 months. This part doesn’t come with Liquid Staking, and works just like most other sales — A monthly claim of 5% for 19 months.</li></ul><p><strong>Effectively this means that 14% of your tokens unlock at TGE, with 86% vested over the next 19 months.</strong></p><p>🔗<strong>Claim Your Tokens</strong></p><p>To claim your initial TGE tokens, you will have to claim it through the official SUPRA Claim Link: (<a href="https://supra.com/blastoff/token-claim/en">https://supra.com/blastoff/token-claim/en</a>).</p><p>If you participated in the SUPRA BlastOff Marketing Campaign with the same SUPRA wallet you entered in your StarLaunch Cadet Profile, you can simply login with your BlastOff e-mail/password and then you should see your claimable tokens automatically.</p><p>If you did not participate in the SUPRA BlastOff Marketing Campain, you can connect your StarKey wallet (the same wallet you entered in your StarLaunch Cadet Profile) to get access to your TGE tranche.</p><p>The rest of your vested &amp; staked tokens can be viewed directly in your StarKey wallet — If you don’t see them, make sure you’ve updated your StarKey wallet extension by turning on Chrome Developer Mode and then tap “update” in the extension page.</p><p><strong>Important: To claim your TGE tranche, you will need a bit of SUPRA to cover the gas fees!</strong></p><p>The easiest way to do this is to purchase some SUPRA on one of the available Centralized Exchanges:</p><ul><li>Gate: <a href="https://www.gate.io/trade/SUPRA_USDT?ref=12312805">https://www.gate.io/trade/SUPRA_USDT</a></li><li>Mexc: <a href="https://www.mexc.com/exchange/SUPRA_USDT">https://www.mexc.com/exchange/SUPRA_USDT</a></li><li>Bybit: <a href="https://www.bybit.com/en-US/trade/spot/SUPRA/USDT">https://www.bybit.com/en-US/trade/spot/SUPRA/USDT</a></li><li>KuCoin: <a href="https://www.kucoin.com/trade/SUPRA-USDT?rcode=rPH7VCS">https://www.kucoin.com/trade/SUPRA-USDT</a></li></ul><p>After that, withdraw the SUPRA to your StarKey wallet and then claim your TGE tranche from <a href="https://supra.com/blastoff/token-claim/en">https://supra.com/blastoff/token-claim/en</a>.</p><p><strong>For those that did not enter their StarKey wallet yet in their Cadet Dashboard:</strong></p><p>Since the Private Sale in 2022, we have announced <strong>multiple times</strong> that ever participant had to enter their StarKey wallet in their StarLaunch Cadet Profile in order to receive their allocation at TGE.</p><p>The hard deadline to enter your StarKey Wallet in your Cadet Profile in order to receive your initial tokens at Token Launch was <strong>September 2024.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/674/1*VS95H8AtiNsdXGwBJfxtAA.png" /></figure><p>If you missed the StarKey wallet deadline, this unfortunately means that you will get your tranches with a delay.</p><p><strong>Here’s how to get your tokens as soon as possible:</strong></p><ol><li>Install the StarKey Browser Extension to create a SUPRA wallet: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/starkey-wallet-the-offici/hcjhpkgbmechpabifbggldplacolbkoh">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/starkey-wallet-the-offici/hcjhpkgbmechpabifbggldplacolbkoh</a></li><li>Enter your SUPRA wallet address in your Cadet Profile -&gt; Player Dashboard (<a href="https://app.starlaunch.com/player-dashboard">https://app.starlaunch.com/player-dashboard</a>).</li><li>That’s all — We manually send SUPRA tokens to those that are late once a month. If you enter your StarKey wallet between the TGE and Tranche 1, you will receive both your TGE &amp; Tranche 1 at the same time when Tranche 1 unlocks. If you enter your StarKey wallet between Trance 1 and Tranche 2, you will receive your TGE &amp; Tranche 1 &amp; Tranche 2 when Tranche 2 unlocks. Etc etc.</li></ol><p>o7!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b3f3c1646b98" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
