CoinList is a San Francisco, California based platform, providing crypto trading facilities, crypto staking services, wallets and launchpad access. A Launchpad is a way for early stage projects and blockchains to obtain funding from the public in exchange for tokens. To be listed on Coinlist Launchpad a project would need to submit an application and go through rigorous checks. As a result, token sales through Coinlist Launchpad for some may seem superior to traditional ICO`s methods as projects at Coinlist have to prove their trustworthiness and authenticity. Below are the projects and blockchains relating to this category.
