Everything You Need to Know About Binance Launchpool: How to Farm Tokens, Calculate APY & More
So, what is Binance Launchpool?Ā
Launchpool lets you use your tokens to farm (earn) a new token, for free.Ā
The amount of tokens you earn each daily is proportional to the amount of tokens you have subscribed to the pool vs the total number of tokens subscribed to the pool. (See a more in-depth explanation here)
You can earn the new token over a set period, usually 30 days. We often open trading of the token on the 7th day of farming, at which point you can immediately trade any tokens you have earned.
The tokens you earn are calculated hourly, and you can harvest your pending rewards at any time.
Basically, you get to accumulate a brand new coin, prior to (and after) a guaranteed listing on Binance.com, for free. Not a bad deal, right?

Tokens you earn canāt be traded until the project has been listed on Binance.com. Once trading is live, you will be able to trade any tokens you earn as soon as you get them.

You will be able to view your average BNB holdings on the projectās dedicated Launchpad page after the staking calculation period starts.
Will the BNB Iāve used to subscribe to Launchpool be still counted for Launchpad and any other airdrops etc?
Yes, you will still qualify for airdrops, Launchpad eligibility, and VIP benefits, etc.
