HyperLaunch logo

HyperLaunch

HyperLaunch is a permissionless NFT and token launchpad native to the HyperEVM ecosystem, enabling projects to launch collections, conduct fair sales, and build communities directly on Hyperliquid's blockchain. HyperLaunch's launchpad framework supports multiple sale mechanisms including Dutch auctions, whitelist mints, and bonding curve launches—giving project teams flexibility in how they distribute tokens and NFTs to their communities. Integrated with Hyperliquid's native spot order books, HyperLaunch-launched NFTs and tokens can immediately begin trading on Hyperliquid's market infrastructure without needing additional DEX listings. The platform's built-in royalty enforcement and creator royalty splits ensure sustainable economics for HyperEVM creative projects. As Hyperliquid's NFT ecosystem matures, HyperLaunch serves as the primary infrastructure for bootstrapping new community projects and token launches within the Hyperliquid universe, lowering barriers for builders to access the ecosystem's growing user base.
