[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Mention your open source license and describe your open source license rationale.

The MIT License offers a simple framework that maximizes freedom for developers and organizations. It allows anyone to use, modify and integrate the Launchpad without restrictions, while still preserving attribution. Its clarity and minimal legal overhead encourage adoption and foster innovation within the Cardano ecosystem.

How do you make sure your source code is accessible to the public from project start, and people are informed?

From the start, all source code will be publicly available on GitHub, enabling free use, modification, and integration. Development will be transparent, with open commits and pull requests. Updates will be shared through the Catalyst program, WingRiders Twitter, Discord, and other communication channels.

How will you provide high quality documentation?

Documentation will be maintained in the open-source repository, updated alongside each feature release. It will include clear usage guides, API references, annotated examples, and contribution instructions. Both technical and non-technical users will have access to step-by-step tutorials, screenshots, and demo videos to ensure easy adoption and community contributions. Documentation updates and usage guides will accompany feature releases, ensuring accessibility for both technical and non-technical users.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

We’re upgrading the fully audited, decentralized WingRiders Launchpad to make multi-DEX token launches possible. Issuers will select target DEXes and liquidity splits in a single setup, sign once, and the launchpad engine will execute the launch trustlessly resulting in pool creation on the selected DEXes after the rewards are distributed among the contributors.

We will open-source the launchpad smart contracts along with all necessary components under the MIT license from day one. The complete codebase, smart contracts, backend, and UI, will be published on GitHub with transparent commit history, thorough documentation, and examples, ensuring the community can audit, extend, and integrate the launchpad without restriction.

Building on the live launchpad infrastructure we will introduce support for distributing liquidity across multiple DEXes in a single coordinated launch. It extends the smart contracts, backend logic, and frontend UI to enable cross-DEX token launches allowing issuers to configure once and distribute across multiple platforms seamlessly.

Issuers will define their launch configuration in a single step, specifying:

• Which permissionless DEXes to deploy to.
• The proportion of token and ADA liquidity to allocate to each DEX.

The issuer signs a single transaction that authorizes the launch, and the launchpad agent handles the rest. It performs the necessary on-chain interactions to deploy liquidity pools across the selected DEXes, according to each platform’s smart contract requirements. All execution is trustless and deterministic, with no further input required from the issuer or coordination with the DEXes.

This design simplifies multi-DEX launches, avoids duplicated setup effort, and ensures a smooth, synchronized release across the Cardano DEX ecosystem.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

This platform empowers token projects to diversify liquidity across DEXes, enhancing decentralization and market efficiency. Projects benefit from broader exposure.

• DEXes benefit from shared onboarding.
• Traders and liquidity providers see better price discovery, increased arbitrage efficiency, and more competitive execution.
• Ecosystem developers, integrators, and aggregators gain an open-source foundation for building advanced DeFi tooling.
• Auditors and researchers benefit from transparent, inspectable code.
• Educators & content creators can use the open-source code and docs as learning material for Cardano DeFi development.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

The team behind WingRiders developed the original launchpad architecture, which uses seven Plutarch smart contracts and six minting policies, and is fully capable of safely extending it. We will validate multi-DEX compatibility through testnet deployments with at least two DEX targets. Technical risk remains low due to code reuse and incremental extension.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

By building on the operational launchpad system, this proposal directs resources toward impactful new features rather than rebuilding core infrastructure. The budget is in line with industry standards for DeFi engineering, while the open-source MIT license multiplies value by enabling community adoption, audits, and extensions at no extra cost. These strategic enhancements create a sustainable, flexible, and fully decentralized multi-DEX launch platform that delivers enduring benefits to projects, traders, and the wider Cardano ecosystem.
