Hey Birds,

The cryptocurrency market has experienced significant volatility since March 2024, prompting us to re-assess our business model. This period of market correction presented an opportunity for Superlauncher (SL) to evaluate its trajectory and consider strategic adjustments in response to evolving market dynamics.

TLDR

• Superlauncher plans to migrate its token to, and launch as a single-chain launchpad on Hyperliquid (Testnet is ready, and Mainnet expected end of 2024). SL will no longer serve multiple blockchains.
• Superlauncher will rebrand as Hyperlauncher to align with Hyperliquid’s growing reputation in DeFi.
• This strategic shift aims to make the platform and token more attractive, streamline operations, and capitalize on Hyperliquid’s strengths- though it comes with risks such as increased platform dependency.
• Our platform is currently being integrated to Hyperliquid testnet and deal flow efforts have commenced. A permissionless launchpad offering is in the pipeline.
• Over the coming weeks, we will be rolling out more information and updates.

ZKSync Platform Limitations

SL’s current deployment on ZKSync has presented unforeseen obstacles to growth and strategic goal attainment. While ZKSync offers certain technical advantages, its ecosystem development and market traction have not met expectations, potentially limiting SL’s expansion opportunities.

Reassessment of the Multichain Strategy

SL’s initial multichain approach was predicated on the hypothesis that diversification across multiple blockchain ecosystems would yield superior results. However, empirical evidence has not supported this assumption:

1. Operational Complexity: Managing operations across multiple chains has introduced significant logistical challenges.
2. Token Utility Dilution: The distribution of the launch token across various ecosystems has diminished its efficacy and value proposition.
3. Community Fragmentation: The multi-chain approach has led to a dispersed user base, complicating community building efforts.

In contrast, single-chain launchpads have demonstrated more robust performance metrics. This success can be attributed to:

1. Concentrated Ecosystem Focus: Allowing for deeper integration and optimization within a specific blockchain environment.
2. Enhanced Token Utility: Single-chain tokens often have clearer use cases and stronger network effects.
3. Cohesive Community Development: A unified platform facilitates more effective community engagement and growth.

Hyperliquid: A Strategic Alternative

Hyperliquid has emerged as a promising platform in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, particularly in the realm of perpetual decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Several factors contribute to its attractiveness as a potential host for SL:

1. Market Traction: Hyperliquid has gained significant adoption among on-chain leveraged traders, indicating strong product-market fit.
2. Capital Inflow: The platform has attracted substantial trading volume, suggesting deep liquidity and user engagement.
3. Team Credibility: The Hyperliquid development team has garnered respect within the industry, potentially leading to long-term sustainability.
4. Ecosystem Expansion: Multiple blockchain projects are exploring integration with Hyperliquid’s infrastructure, which could create synergistic opportunities for SL.

Proposed Rebranding: Hyperlauncher

To align with the strategic pivot, rebranding SL as “Hyperlauncher” warrants consideration. This new identity would:

1. Signal a clear directional shift to stakeholders
2. Capitalize on Hyperliquid’s growing brand recognition
3. Maintain continuity by retaining the original $LAUNCH token name

Strategic Implications and Future Outlook

The proposed transition to Hyperliquid as a single-chain launchpad represents a significant strategic realignment. Potential benefits include:

1. Streamlined Operations: Focusing on a single chain could reduce operational overhead and improve efficiency.
2. Enhanced Token Utility: Concentration within the Hyperliquid ecosystem may strengthen the value proposition of the launch token.
3. Ecosystem Synergies: Closer integration with Hyperliquid’s growing network of partners and projects could create new opportunities for growth.

However, this strategy is not without risks:

1. Migration Challenges: Transitioning existing users and projects to a new platform may present technical and community management hurdles.
2. Platform Dependency: Tying SL’s future closely to Hyperliquid’s success increases platform risk.
3. Competitive Landscape: The single-chain launchpad space may be more saturated, requiring clear differentiation strategies.

Conclusion and Future Considerations

The proposed re-branding and transition to a single-chain launchpad on Hyperliquid represents a strategic response to current market conditions. This adjustment aims to provide a more focused approach, potentially enhancing token utility and reinforcing the platform’s value proposition. As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, strategic adaptability remains a key factor for long-term viability.

If you have any thoughts or potential impacts and outcomes of this proposed strategic shift, please reach out to have a discussion.

Dear Birdies,

As outlined in our previous communication, we temporarily paused the $LEGION IDO due to soaring gas fees on the Ethereum network. In response, we promptly initiated reimbursements for the USDT contributions and gas fees incurred during the contribution process.

All contributors have now received their $USDT, deposited directly into their Ethereum addresses. Additionally, the gas fees paid during contributions have been reimbursed to contributors’ addresses on zkSync.

As a token of our appreciation for your patience and support throughout this process, we have also distributed $LAUNCH tokens to all contributors.

We are excited to announce that preparations are almost complete for the resumption of the $LEGION IDO in a more cost-effective gas environment. Stay tuned for our forthcoming announcement detailing the next steps.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours Truly,

Dear Birdies,

We have paused the $LEGION IDO due to the high gas fee environment on Ethereum. A new sale will be spun up in the coming days.

Next Steps:

1. We will deploy a new sale for the $LEGION IDO on a different blockchain in the coming days, sometime in March 2024.
2. All current contributors will receive a refund of their contribution to their addresses in USDT and receive gas rebates (details TBC)
3. You may contribute again once the new sale is up and running on a new chain. Dates will be announced.

We’d like to take this chance to share our regrets for the inconvenience and our appreciation for the early contributors. Going forward, we’re deploying a solution that will allow us to raise on any chain and allow claims on the target chain.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Yours Truly,

Dear Birdies,

We’ve crafted this guide to ensure you’re fully equipped for the resumption of the $LEGION IDO.

How to get USDT on zkSync?

Swap: https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?chain=zkSync&outputCurrency=0x493257fD37EDB34451f62EDf8D2a0C418852bA4C

Bridge: https://zksync.io/explore#bridges

IDO Start Date and Time: 23 April 2024, 2PM UTC
IDO End Date and Time: 25 April 2024, 2PM UTC

Raise Amount: 50,000 USDT
Raise Network: zkSync
$LEGION IDO Price: 0.012 USDT
Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): 12,000,000 USDT
Vesting: 20% TGE followed by 4 months linear unlock

Allocation

Minimum nonStaker Allocation: 50 USDT

Stakers’ Extra Allocation Rate: 1 USDT per 50 svLAUNCH
E.g. 10,000 svLAUNCH will grant you an extra 200 USDT allocation.

Stakers always have a significantly higher allocation than those who don’t stake.

Priority Fills

• In case of excess demand, top $LAUNCH stakers will be filled first; the rest will be refunded.
• The more $LAUNCH staked, the higher the probability of fill. No Caps.
• The “Fillability” bar gives you an indication of how likely you are to get your contribution successfully filled.
• You can also seamlessly track your position in the queue and the capital ahead of you. This empowers you to boost your $LAUNCH stake if you fall below the cutoff.

Insurance (User Protection)

Insurance coverage: 1 USDT covered for every 10 svLAUNCH
E.g. 10,000 svLAUNCH will give you a coverage of 1000 USDT.

Note: There are no snapshots. You will be able to top up your staked $LAUNCH during the sale to increase your allocation, priority and insurance coverage.

Are you excited for this IDO? We know we are! IDO season begins.

Dear Birdies,

In our 2024 Outlook, we had shared that our priority for Q1 was to release the Superlauncher WebApp. We’re happy to share that our WebApp will go live on 29 Jan 2024.

Expect to participate in some simulation campaigns after the launch of the WebApp, so you get familiarised with the new crowdfunding system.

Ahead of that- we’re releasing the ‘Protocol Guide’ today. Access it here.

We are currently undergoing audit for our latest batch of smart contracts with Sourcehat to be IDO ready — expected completion is 1st week of Feb.

Get prepared for a new ERA :)

Dear Birdies,

Pay attention, because what we are about to share will be live in a couple of weeks, along with our webapp and loyalty program. This means we will be ready to host IDOs and $LAUNCH utility will kick in.

We have finalised how $LAUNCH will be utilised in the ecosystem.

We are hereby, overjoyed to declare that:

1. You will no longer be able to estimate how much $LAUNCH is required to participate in a sale. The more you stake, the larger your allocation. No caps.
2. You will no longer have to deal with FCFS. The more $LAUNCH you stake, the higher the priority of fill. No Caps. In times of excess demand, the top stakers get filled first and the rest will be refunded.
3. Opt for a refund coverage for up to Listing + 3 days. Every 10 LAUNCH staked gives you $1 in refund coverage. More Stake = More Coverage.
4. There are no snapshots so staking cannot be gamed. You will be able to top up your staked $LAUNCH during the sale to increase your allocation, priority and insurance coverage.

We are extremely excited to roll out this new scheme, along with the webapp, which we think is a superior model that creates the right incentives to hold/stake as much $LAUNCH as possible while introducing key features like elimination of FCFS and snapshots.

See you in a couple of weeks, don’t say we didn’t warn you :)

Yours Truly,
Your Birdies

Dear Birdies,

Happy New Year. Thank you for being a crucial part of our ecosystem. The crypto bear market is history. It’s time to make dough in 2024/2025. Let’s dive right into the plans for 2024, followed by a recap of the happenings of 2023.

What to expect in 2024?

1. Roll out of Superlauncher Webapp

We are excited to be very close to the finish line with our product offering and birdies can expect the following in Q1 2024.

-Loyalty Program Kickstart
-Documentation Update & Audit Completion
-New Alloc Model & Insurance Option go Live
-Start of IDOs

2. Deploy on Non-EVM ecosystems like BTC and SOL

New narratives and ecosystems are emerging for this bull-run and might cause a migration of liquidity, spurring demand for launches. We aim to take advantage of these shifts in narratives by deploying the launch module in these ecosystems, and/or by situating token liquidity there.

3. Reveal Key Partnerships

2024 will be a very focussed year for Superlauncher. This will be a year where we will reveal crucial partnerships that will take the platform to the next level. We’ve had several doors open up during the bear and are leveraging these strategically to hit a home run.

4. Emphasis on sales with imminent TGE

Superlauncher will place a strong focus on public rounds which are closer to TGE. A steady stream of multi-pad launches is expected in line with an uptick in the broader market. We still see the value in exclusive launches if they can provide considerable upside for our users but these will be less frequent as they take more time to incubate and prepare.
