The Launchpad Boom

The Web3 landscape is experiencing an unprecedented surge in launchpads, with the platforms fueling the next wave of blockchain innovation. As of 2025, there are dozens of prominent crypto launchpads, at least 15 top-tier ones alone, enabling founders to deploy DApps, tokens, NFTs, and various products at an astonishing pace. These tools have democratized project launches, contributing to the sector's explosive growth rate and empowering over 560 million crypto owners worldwide to participate in early-stage ventures. They're fantastic for kickstarting ideas, allowing builders to bring groundbreaking products to market and drive the relentless innovation that defines Web3.

Yet, this boom comes with a critical flaw: Most launchpads focus solely on entry, offering no structured exit paths for founders or investors. This leaves projects trapped in stagnation, with fading momentum, funding shortages, team transitions, or marketing gaps dooming even the most promising ventures to the "Web3 graveyard." The statistics are overwhelming, 90-95% of Web3 startups fail within five years, far exceeding traditional business failure rates, often due to the lack of viable pivots or handovers. Without mechanisms for mergers, acquisitions, or graceful exits, teams are left with no choice but to abandon projects.

Amid countless launchpads flooding the market, thousands of innovative Web3 projects lacking options to pivot or scale, it's clear the Web3 landscape has lost it's balance. Exitpad restores equilibrium by providing a streamlined decentralized M&A solution.
