🌟introduction

what is star.fun?

star.fun is a fundraising launchpad for cracked devs—talented technical founders, indie hackers, and, of course, vibe coders. We believe great startup ideas can come from anywhere, so we’re building a meritocratic platform where those ideas get a fair shot at funding from a global community of investors eager to back the next big thing. The only credential you need is a history of shipping code. No VC connections, demo days, or months of cold outreach required.

Of course, all the traditional funding options have their own benefits—we’re not here to tell you what’s right or wrong. But if you want to raise funding for tech you believe in, have a track record of building, and want to start and finish your raise within 7 days—without asking anyone for permission—while building a community around your product with tooling designed for long-term success, you’ve come to the right place.

fundraising via a token sale

Token sales let you raise capital and build a community by selling a piece of your project—on-chain, transparently, and globally. Instead of pitching VCs, you offer tokens: digital assets that can power your app, govern your protocol, or simply represent a stake in your network. More on token utility in the next section.

This model took off with Ethereum and Solana, where early supporters bought tokens that now run those ecosystems. But the space got messy: insiders grabbed cheap allocations, public investors got a raw deal, and hype often trumped substance.

We are building a platform that enables any project to run a token sale. Sales are open to everyone—no insider deals or backroom allocations. Valuations are fixed and rounds are uncapped, so there are no surprise price spikes or tiny public floats. Finally, vesting is fully transparent—founders and teams actually earn their tokens over time.

It’s simple - you decide what your token is for—maybe it’s for access, governance, or something unique to your project. You put 22.5% up for sale to raise funds, and the rest goes to your team and future growth. Investors get a real, tradable asset and are betting on your ability to deliver.

In short: Token sales on star.fun are a way to fund, launch, and grow—on your terms, with your community, and without gatekeepers.

on token utility

A token isn’t just a fundraising chip—it should actually do something. Maybe it gets people into your private Discord, unlocks premium features, or acts as the in-app currency for your product. Some projects let token holders vote on what gets built next, or reward early supporters with special badges or perks. You can even let people stake tokens to earn rewards, or give holders discounts on fees.

We are actively working on building tooling to make this easy for developers.

The key: pick one or two things that make sense for your project and community. Start there. You can always add more utility as you grow.
