HeadStarter sees the barriers limiting dApp success

The team at HeadStarter saw very early on the benefits that Hedera offered dApp development projects that want to take advantage of a distributed ledger technology on which to launch their projects. These benefits include high transaction throughput, rapid finality, robust security, low and predictable costs, and strong sustainability standards.

Unfortunately, for many of these distributed applications, there can be many barriers that hold back the successful launch and adoption of these projects. In order to evolve a dApp, raise awareness, and increase adoption, it requires guidance, community support, and most importantly funding. These are the barriers that HeadStarter strives to remove for promising dApps.

HeadStarter on Hedera: Fast tracking dApp success through IDOs on Hedera

HeadStarter’s mission is to enable the success of promising distributed applications on the Hedera network. The team at HeadStarter is made up of industry experts that assist early stage projects to bring their applications to market by facilitating fundraising, as well as providing the tool and assistance needed for launching disruptive dApps that bring real world value and innovation.

Through industry leading DeFi standards, and smart contracts enabled gamification and tokenization, HeadStarter powers fair, decentralized, regulatory-friendly public funding and token launches for the highest quality Hedera dapps. The fundraising component of HeadStarters support for dApps is done through initial decentralized offerings, or IDOs.

An IDO is a regulatory-friendly crypto-token public offering conducted through a decentralized application—in this case, the HeadStarter platform. IDOs serve as an effective fundraising mechanism for emerging dApps for several reasons. They provide an open and equitable model in which anyone can participate, without relying on a centralized exchange. In addition, IDOs offer projects immediate liquidity, a powerful advantage that can accelerate go-to-market efforts and support early ecosystem growth.

Why Hedera

Hedera offers the highest levels of security with aBFT, fast, fixed fees and 10,000 transactions per second. For these reasons, HeadStarter firmly believes that Hedera is the ideal platform for enabling the success of early stage projects and for driving innovation of decentralized applications.
