The Issuance Mandate

Traditional IP funding is a devil's bargain: surrender control for capital, or maintain ownership and starve. VCs demand equity, publishers take rights, and platforms extract fees. By the time an IP succeeds, the creator owns a fraction of what they built.

City Protocol's launchpad flips this model.

Fair launches mean no backroom deals, no institutional pre-sales, no whale allocations. Every participant from the creator to the first fan—gets in at the same ground floor. The bonding curve ensures price discovery happens transparently, liquidity builds organically, and early supporters are rewarded for their conviction.

This is the IPO revolution—Intellectual Property Offering. Just as companies go public to access capital markets, IPs can now go public to access community markets. The difference?

No investment banks are taking 7% fees.

No lockup periods that trap early supporters.

No preferential pricing for institutions.

The IPO model democratizes what traditional stock IPOs gatekeep: access to ground-floor opportunities in assets with exponential potential. When every IP can have its IPO from day one, creators bypass the entire extractive fundraising apparatus that's plagued creative industries for decades.

But a fair launch is just the starting line.

The real innovation is what happens next: verified creators receive advisory support, holders earn points that unlock ecosystem benefits, and traders capture 35% of fees through referrals. This isn’t speculation; it’s a community-driven venture building where everyone’s incentives align. The IPO framework ensures value flows back to participants proportional to their contribution, whether that’s capital, attention, or distribution.

The launchpad integrates with Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve to ensure full market discoverability. Your IP doesn't hide in a walled garden; it's visible across every screener, terminal, and trading interface in the Solana ecosystem.

From day one, your IP competes on merit, not connections. This transparency is core to the IPO thesis: public markets create price discovery, liquidity creates accessibility, and accessibility creates opportunity.
