Projects apply for vetting before being listed, and participants register, get whitelisted, and purchase allocations across tiered sale rounds. Access to certain rounds and allocation size is tied to how much of the platform's native token a participant has staked. The platform supports project launches across multiple blockchain networks.

Staked balances are automatically tallied to determine a participant's VIP tier, which sets eligibility and allocation size for token sales on the Spores Launchpad. Users select from active pools with varying lock-up terms and estimated annual returns.
