1. Discover recent crypto markets
LaunchRank requests public token-profile and DEX-pair information. For each token it identifies a useful trading pair, collects current market metrics and looks for the earliest pair-creation timestamp available in the returned data.
Load public token profiles
Recent token profiles provide chain and contract identifiers plus project metadata when available.
Match live DEX pairs
LaunchRank loads market pairs for each contract and selects a primary pair using liquidity as a practical signal.
Normalize market data
Price, liquidity, volume, 24-hour change, market cap, FDV, buys, sells and market age are presented consistently.
2. Understand each leaderboard
- Newest: tracked pair creation time.
- Trending: live volume, liquidity, momentum and freshness.
- Gainers: 24-hour price movement.
- Volume: 24-hour DEX trading volume.
- Sponsored: every active paid placement, separated from organic rankings.
3. Community voting
Visitors can vote from an organic listing, sponsored card or token-detail page. Sponsorship can increase exposure to a vote button, but a user still chooses whether to vote. The paid plan itself does not add votes.
The standalone preview stores votes in the visitor's browser. A production site should use server-side accounts, bot protection, rate limits and auditable vote records.
4. Sponsored Launches
When a project purchases sponsorship, it receives a large visual homepage placement for the purchased period and appears in the Sponsored tab. If several projects have active plans, all active sponsors remain visible until their individual campaigns expire.
The advantage is extra visibility, a direct vote button, project and market links, plus campaign analytics. The project's organic ranking stays independent.
5. Research before trading
Token detail pages can show the contract address, selected DEX pair, tracked market age, price, liquidity, volume, buys, sells and external research links. A recently created market is a discovery signal, not a safety signal.
6. Revenue without selling organic rank
LaunchRank can earn from sponsored placements, claimed-project profiles, Pro subscriptions, launch packages, newsletter sponsorships and carefully verified partner referrals. Paid benefits stay labeled so users can distinguish advertising from organic discovery.
7. What LaunchRank does not do
LaunchRank does not guarantee that a token is legitimate, safe or likely to rise in price, and it does not promise that sponsorship will increase token value. Users should make independent decisions after researching each project.
Does sponsorship give a project extra votes?
No. Sponsorship increases visibility, but every vote still requires a user action.
What if many projects buy sponsorship?
All active sponsored projects are shown in the homepage Sponsored Launches area and Sponsored tab.
Does newest mean best?
No. Newness is only a market-recency signal and does not measure safety or quality.
