A fair launch refers to a cryptocurrency project distribution method where no tokens are pre-mined or pre-allocated to insiders. In this model, all participants have an equal opportunity to acquire tokens from the project’s inception, typically through mining, staking, or providing liquidity. It aims to prevent large initial allocations to founders, venture capitalists, or private investors, promoting a more decentralized and equitable distribution. This approach seeks to reduce concentrated ownership and foster community governance from the outset.
