Instaraise enables ShuttleOne to raise $64,000 through $SZO token offering on Tezos Protocol

The first-ever decentralized fundraising and incubation protocol on Tezos Ecosystem, Instaraise has successfully concluded another token offering on its IDO platform. This time, it is the ShuttleOne Network — an operating system for digital finance that enables multichain functionalities to dApps on Metachain.

ShuttleOne is an award-winning company with millions in asset management. They have recently got featured as the only representative of decentralized finance to win the 2021 MAS Fintech Award.

Organized as a one-day event on December 12, 2021, the 1,000,000 $SZO token offering on Instaraise received a great response from the community as expected. In no time, the participants previously whitelisted for the token sale lapped up over $64,000 worth of ShuttleOne’s Tezos-based $SZO utility tokens to turn the sale into a grand success.

The successful ShuttleOne IDO has added another feather to Instaraise’s cap, which already has multiple successes under its belt.

A Glimpse of the $SZO IDO on Instaraise

As always, Instaraise conducted the $SZO token offering in two distinct rounds. First, the Guaranteed Allocation Round, followed by the First Come First Serve Round. The Instaraise community members participating in the IDO were whitelisted after the successful completion of the KYC verification process. Following the whitelisting, based on their $INSTA staking status, their eligibility to participate in the Guaranteed Allocation and FCFS rounds were determined.

A Housefull Guaranteed Allocation Round

Easily one of the sought-after IDO events on Instaraise, the $SZO token offering received a great response withstanding the highly uncertain market conditions or the weekend slump that’s prevalent in the crypto market.

All the sale participants opted for Guaranteed Allocation by staking the requisite number of $INSTA tokens to unlock the desired allocation tiers. They all received confirmed $SZO allocation including any applicable time and stake leverage benefits, enabling them to become early supporters of the ShuttleOne community at an attractive entry price.

A seamless experience was offered to the participants with the improved interface on top of secure audited IDO infrastructure, automated smart-contract drove liquidity provisioning and locking features.

Added Surprise! Fee Distribution

The enthusiasm shown by the community resulted in a highly successful fundraising round for the ShuttleOne ecosystem. The entire funding derived from this round is used to provide adequate liquidity for $SZO on the Tezos ecosystem.

Meanwhile, Instaraise has decided to incentivize the community for its support by handsomely rewarding a few lucky participants.

Instaraise is soon setting its adopted deflationary model into motion by preparing for the redistribution of fees collected during the $SZO token offering to the ecosystem’s benefit. Instaraise will be “airdropping” a total of 10,000 $SZO tokens to 10 lucky participants. Further, another 10,000 $SZO tokens will be swapped with $INSTA, and locked for a duration of 2 years, thereby adding additional $SZO liquidity to the market while removing a portion of $INSTA from circulation with the intention of driving demand for the platform’s ecosystem tokens.

Continued Development of Instaraise 2.0

The new avatar of the Instaraise IDO platform that focuses on delivering a better user experience through an easy-to-use interface is part of the ongoing Instaraise 2.0 development plan. As Instaraise prepares to introduce other promising projects to the Tezos community, it is also in the process of creating new LP farms and a decentralized exchange platform with unique capabilities.

These upcoming developments are worth waiting for, as they are bound to add more value to the Tezos ecosystem. They will also play a crucial role in providing additional resources to promote further growth of all the existing and future projects that receive support from Instaraise fundraising and incubation protocol.

Keep watching this space for announcements about upcoming IDOs as well as other attractive rewards and incentive programs for the community.

About Instaraise

Instaraise is a completely decentralized fundraising and Incubation platform. We aim to empower projects by building a strong foundation and fundraising ability while providing impactful marketing advisory, Community growth, and ecosystem development assistance.

We are here with all-around support for projects from Private Fundraising to IDO.

Instaraise is building an all-in-one Defi Universe on Tezos. We support projects to raise funds, build communities and turn their ideas into products.

We define the Project to Product Journey!

With Automated Liquidity Locking and Transparency in the Locks! Bringing more and more trust for the investors to come on board with us.

Instaraise has successfully completed another IDO on its native IDO platform instaraise.io. AqarChain IDO was completed on the 21st of October 2021 and we are amazed to see the community coming forward and investing in the projects coming into the Tezos ecosystem.

In this article, we have shared some of the snips and bits of the Aqarchain IDO which had been facilitated first time by our new architecture in a fully trustless and decentralized manner.

We also explained the fee distribution that contributes to Instaraise and how it empowers our Community.

AqarChain IDO Highlights

Aqarchain IDO went beyond our expectations with respect to the fund raised and the time taken. We have successfully raised $50,000 worth XTZ and the whole amount is used to provide liquidity to Quipuswap.

Pool Weight and Time leverage in Action

We made sure that the time & stake leverage gives the $INSTA stakers the right amount of allocation as per the pool weight score they have attained until the start of the IDO. This IDO gave $INSTA stakers an edge over the other investors.

For $INSTA stakers we have prevented GAS wars and have given all our investors an edge who are residing in any of the tires to gain the allocation they deserve.

** The time-based weight was also considered so that investors staking for a longer period gains the extra bit of Allocation.

Verified Trustless Architecture in Play!

We have integrated or audited IDO architecture to carry out the AQRtz IDO in the most trustless manner possible.

Liquidity provisioning and locking are done in a trustless manner with our Smart Contract and the owner does not get access to the funds until the liquidity is locked.

Fees Distribution

We have a deflationary model that works for the fees we accumulate after each IDO.
1/4th of the AQRtz tokens were swapped to $INSTA and 10 lucky participantswill get airdropped and will be announced soon 🙂

How we are improving?

With the completion of another challenging yet fun IDO, Instaraise is now fully aware and more experienced in empowering new projects with its impactful marketing advisory, community growth, and ecosystem development assistance.

We took feedback from our peers as well as from our community and based on it, we are improving our UI to the next level with a new addition to the features offered. As of UX is concerned we are working on it too to make it easier to use and with a lot of in-page info regarding INSTA.

Huge improvements are coming to the UX, as well as the UI of Instaraise. Our team is working hard to get the new lookup very soon with added features and a more convenient interface.

With the wrap-up of another successful IDO, Instaraise is all set for its next incubation with more exclusive rewards and events for the community. Our Next IDO is at the doorstep, stay tuned!

The rapidly evolving DeFi space is set to witness some exciting times ahead as Instaraise — the first-ever decentralized fundraising and incubation platform on the Tezos ecosystem offers a whole suite of tools for upcoming projects to turn their ideas into a reality.

Main Takeaways

• Instaraise, as a torchbearer of the Tezos ecosystem, helps upcoming and existing projects realize their potential by extending all the necessary assistance to succeed
• The Instaraise ecosystem combines various features that make it quite different from its counterparts catering to other blockchains and even Tezos itself
• Instaraise’s mission resonates with the industry sentiment and the platform has already gained significant traction among the cryptocurrency and developer communities

While various crypto launchpads are offering token sale infrastructure for projects on Ethereum and a handful of other blockchain protocols, Instaraise takes it a step further by providing end-to-end support, including the choice of an ideal protocol in the form of Tezos.

Why Tezos?

The Tezos blockchain offers a range of benefits over its counterparts, especially Ethereum, which is plagued by scalability issues, low transaction speeds and increased transaction costs.

The Tezos protocol is a versatile smart contracts platform with a self-amending feature that allows the community to upgrade the protocol without hard forks constantly.

Further, the Tezos blockchain is highly scalable and supports fast transaction speeds at meager costs, making it an ideal protocol to support large-scale, community-oriented DeFi projects. DeFi platforms built on top of Tezos protocol will prioritize not only scalability and speed but also affordability and a much broader reach — something essential to create any meaningful impact in society.

Being a relatively new entrant to the DeFi space, the Tezos protocol is still gaining traction among the developer and crypto communities. Instaraise, as a torchbearer of the Tezos ecosystem, helps upcoming and existing projects realize their potential by extending all the necessary assistance to succeed.

What Makes Instaraise Different?

Instaraise puts the concept of truly interoperable DeFi within reach. Functioning as a completely decentralized IDO Launchpad and Incubation platform, it brings all the DeFi stakeholders together while serving their interests.

The Instaraise ecosystem combines various features that make it quite different from its counterparts catering to other blockchains and even Tezos itself. Some of these features include:

1. Incubation and Technical Advisory for New Projects

There is no shortage of ideas in the DeFi space, but not all of them are feasible to implement either. However, a significant percentage of such ideas just need a nudge in the right direction to succeed, and Instaraise does just that.

A highly qualified team at Instaraise with years of experience in the DeFi and Tezos ecosystem helps new projects shape their ideas into fledged products.

As a part of this offering, they provide valuable guidance and technical assistance to effect necessary changes that could help overcome any shortcomings the initial idea may have.

In addition to its team, Instaraise also helps the projects tap into the vast resources and intellect of the global Tezos community.

In the long run, such connections will enable project creators to identify potential opportunities and strengthen their offerings to cater to a broader audience.

All the new projects incubated and advised by Instaraise will be designed to meet the fundraising and compliance requirements.

The team will help them with the token specifications, design tokenomics and structure the token sale program to make it easier to access the much-needed capital to put their plans into action.

2. On Demand 360-degree Marketing Assistance

Marketing is crucial for fundraising and gaining adoption. By using efficient marketing strategies, projects will be able to reach out to a broader audience and build a strong community of followers.

Instaraise offers dedicated, on-demand 360-degree marketing support for all verified projects that sign up on the platform.

As part of the program, Instaraise will help these projects leverage its existing internal and external networks and connect with the loyal Instaraise community and a much wider global audience interested in the DeFi space.

The Instaraise marketing team will be working closely with all the supported projects to develop a sound marketing strategy to help them communicate with the masses and gain their unwavering support.

3. Private Fundraising Support

As one of the pioneering decentralized fundraising and incubation protocols in the DeFi ecosystem, Instaraise has garnered a strong community following.

The Instaraise community includes crypto enthusiasts, retail and institutional crypto investors and industry insiders.

Based on their $INSTA holdings, the community members will be awarded exclusive early access to projects approved for listing on Instaraise.

Thanks to these members, projects on Instaraise can expect to raise funds early on through private fundraising rounds to support their development even before the public sale goes live.

4. Public Fundraising

The public fundraising tools offered by Instaraise are available to everyone.

While anyone can create their own fundraising campaign using the platform’s completely decentralized and transparent presale infrastructure, only verified projects listed on Instaraise will receive additional benefits and incentives offered by the Instaraise ecosystem.

The public fundraising mechanism created by Instaraise enables projects to achieve maximum reach while providing potential investors with a secure way to support promising DeFi projects duly vetted by the Instaraise team.

Furthermore, the Instaraise public fundraising protocol incorporates features that mitigate risks like rug pulls prevalent in the industry to ensure the interests of all the stakeholders are protected.

Risk Mitigation on Instaraise IDO Platform

Enabling DeFi projects to raise funds through Initial DEX Offerings, the Instaraise IDO platform is one of few to implement “Fixed Swap Pools.” By doing so, Instaraise ensures that the token price remains constant through the sale.

In addition, the use of the Tezos protocol keeps the fundraising costs low for both projects and investors.

Instaraise uses Pool Weight Score-based allotment to decide token allocation based on the user’s $INSTA holdings, thereby ensuring that everyone gets a fair chance to participate in the token sale.

Risk mitigation features on the Instaraise IDO platform include auto liquidity locking and vesting scheduling mechanisms. The auto liquidity locking feature gets activated once the presale token pool contract is initiated.

It sends liquidity tokens to a locked contract for the entire sale duration to prevent rug pulls. Subsequently, once the sale concludes, the locked liquidity tokens are added to QuipuSwap, locked for any desired duration by its owners.

The platform also helps project owners set a vesting schedule for token holders, preventing them from dumping the tokens soon after the sale.

5. Staking and Farming

Instaraise has partnered with some of the leading DeFi platforms to provide staking and farming solutions to supported projects.

These partnerships will help projects keep their communities engaged while keeping tabs on their token liquidity and market capitalization. More details and partnership announcements will be coming soon.

6. Support for IEO on CEXs

Apart from assisting the projects to list their tokens on DEXs like QuipuSwap, Instaraise will also provide the necessary support to feature them on some of the leading Centralised Exchanges like MEXC .

Furthermore, Instaraise is actively forging partnerships with many exchanges, assisting verified projects that get listed on the platform to list their tokens on the partner crypto exchange and trading platforms.

7. DIY IDO Using Instaraise Platform

Projects that are not part of the Instaraise Incubation and Fundraising platform can still use its IDO infrastructure to launch their own token presales.

The automated launch feature on the Instaraise IDO platform helps project owners create token presale campaigns by entering specifications relevant to their respective projects into the factory contract.

While such projects enjoy the minimum burden of KYC and due diligence, they miss out on end-to-end support, which is exclusive to listed projects.
