Kadpad Absolute Zero: Our Commitment to Investor Security
The 'Kadpad Absolute Zero' model is the bedrock of our platform. This innovative model was designed by experienced industry members with one primary goal: to create the safest possible environment for our community of investors. It is a rigorous framework of security and transparency protocols engineered to drastically reduce the chances of 'rug pulls' and prevent community investments from being liquidated. By enforcing these standards, we aim to build unwavering trust, grow the Kadena community, and bring more people into Web3. Our vision is for this model to become so effective that new projects look to launch with Kadpad's technology as the gold standard for security and integrity.
Any project wishing to launch on Kadpad must adhere to every component of this model. There are no exceptions.
Pillar 1: Mandatory Team & Business Verification
Anonymity can be a shield for bad actors. We remove that shield.
- Full KYC/KYB: Every project's core team members must pass a rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Furthermore, as a registered business entity, Kadpad itself has completed full Know Your Business (KYB) and KYC verification on Kadena.io. Our community is more than welcome to contact the Kadena team directly to verify this.
Pillar 2: Rigorous Project & Tokenomics Audit
A project must be fundamentally sound before it ever reaches our community.
- In-Depth Vetting: We conduct a comprehensive review of the project's goals, roadmap, and marketing strategy to ensure it has a viable plan for long-term success.
- Tokenomics Review: Our team analyzes the project's tokenomics to ensure they are fair, sustainable, and structured to prevent manipulation. We work with teams to align their model with our strict guidelines for investor protection.
- Treasury and Allocation Audit: We conduct a mandatory audit of the project's treasury and team token allocations. We believe these allocations must not exceed a reasonable percentage of the total supply, a policy designed to prevent the risk of market liquidation from a large sell-off.
Pillar 3: Locked Liquidity & Community Funds
This is our guarantee against "rug pulls" and market manipulation.
- Managed Presale Contracts: Our team creates the presale contract for the project owner, enabling a simple "one-click" deployment. This direct oversight prevents numerical and dating mistakes, stops dishonest presale setups, and enforces limits on batches per whitelisted wallet. This prevents whales from accumulating a majority of the supply and protects the community from liquidation events.
- 100% of Raised $KDA is Locked: Every dollar raised from the community during a sale is immediately and permanently locked as liquidity in the Mercatus Works DEX. This is the community's investment, and our policy dictates that it is not ours to touch.
- Locked Unsold Tokens: To prevent market manipulation, any tokens remaining unsold after a launch are also be burned to ensure that the value does not dilute and keeps each launch community focused.
- Team & Treasury Tokens: Team tokens are part of the project's overall treasury allocation. While not subject to a vesting schedule, the size of this allocation is strictly controlled by our Treasury and Allocation Audit to prevent market instability.
With these three pillars forming the core of our evaluation framework, the "Kadpad Absolute Zero" model works to minimize risk and foster an ecosystem of high-potential projects for our community. Your security is our absolute priority.
