# Building Launchpads That Beat Incumbents

@proxima424 very true. runners make the pad

i’m wondering if something has to run in days. can it be months or even years?

@proxima424 not really. if the platform is making enough fees to be default alive, that would do the trick default alive

Replying to @zen_llama at 2026‑09‑30 13:04 UTC: @zen_llama - culture coins – something between metadao and pump, leaning more towards pump than metadao

you cannot beat the incumbent with slightly better product

RH launched its own trading platform so good luck competing with corpo chain product on their own chain

4x better than pump/et al. should generate wow when a user looks at it or hears about it

Launchpads aren’t easy and even the most popular ones aren’t doing very well; it is the hardest thing to do and most products are right now are going in a wrong direction.

I’d love for someone to build a launchpad and we have all the ingredients to help them, hopefully someone does it the right way.

I asked @brockoliiiii for more launchpads, indicating a need for additional resources or options in our launchpad strategy.

I requested more launchpads.
