zkStarter is the first Launchpad on zkSync, a product within the Holdstation Smart Wallet ecosystem. This is a launchpad platform aimed at security, safety, fairness (anti-bot, anti-whale) and maximum benefits for all users on the zkSync ecosystem in general and Holdstation in particular.
Impressive Score
zkStarter applies the most advanced technologies on zkSync such as Paymaster and native Account Abstraction. Users joining this platform can use any Token to pay gas fees or even get 100% funding of this fee. Besides, combined with the one-click feature, users using zkStarter can experience operations as easily as on CEX.
In addition, zkStarter is also named by major KOLs in the market, most notably Sisyphus and Pentoshi often mention Holdstation and zkStarter when talking about the zkSync ecosystem. Seb - Head of DeFi of zkSync also "hinted" about zkStarter with a comparison to the legendary Avalaunch of the previous cycle.
There are like 20 dapps on zksync but only 4 tokens and one of them, holdstation, is a launchpad that probably gets allocated in every single other Token on the chain

Holdstation has a close network of relationships with top projects on zkSync through supporting platforms that use Token $HOLD to pay gas fee. This is a group of 15 projects called the Paymaster Alliance that includes Holdstation, Syncswap, KOI, Velocore, Orbiter, TxSync, BigInt, zksMarket, SpaceFi, Libera (formerly Kreator Land), Owlto, KyberSwap, Reactor Fusion, zkMarkets, and Zomma .
And most of the projects in the Paymaster Alliance have not yet launched their Token .

zkStarter models
zkStarter supports many different Token deployment models depending on project needs. Launchpad has successfully deployed 2 projects with different models
Fair Subscription with $HOLD Token - Holdstation
The first launchpad deployed on zkStarter is $HOLD - Holdstation's Governance Token with the "Fair Subscription" model. This model is designed to be fair to all participants. With equal prices, maximum purchase limits per wallet. This model helps retail users to have the same position as whales and not be cheated by trading bots.
$HOLD saw over 760% growth from the IDO price, with a total raise of 2582 $ETH. Currently the Medium trading Volume is $HOLD each week reaches 250M$
$HOLD plays a very important Vai in the Holdstation ecosystem in general and zkSync in particular. Holder $HOLD maybe:
- Stake receives revenue Chia from Holdstation in $ USDC
- Stake receives Airdrop from Holdstation partner projects
- Definitely Whitelist to join zkStarter's future launchpad
- Use $HOLD to pay gas fee on behalf of $ETH in the entire top 15 projects on zkSync
Whitelist for $HOLD staker + First Come First Serve (FCFS)
The second Launchpad on zkStarter is $AAI - AutoAir AI, a Retroactive bot project, $HOLD stakers get a chance to buy the whitelist. After the whitelist round ends, the public sale will be sold in the form of FCFS. Both rounds are sold at the same price, ensuring fairness and priority for users and $HOLD stakers.
$AAI reached nearly 40x from IDO price with the price base holding well and gradually increasing. It can be seen that Launchpad projects on zkStarter are carefully selected according to project criteria to help users and projects deployed on zkStarter get the maximum benefit.
Seb - zkSync's DeFi Head has "hinted" zkStarter which has the same position as Avalaunch of the Avalanche ecosystem last season. The story of this cycle will revolve around Layer 2 ecosystems and project incentives like how Arbitrum promotes Camelot to become the main launchpad and supports projects on the ecosystem through grant $ARB Token. Once zkSync issues the Token $ZKS their money will flow here and one of the places that can help users create the most benefits is zkStarter.
Xava, the native launchpad on Avalanche, had a Token.

Its market cap hit ~350m fdv at its peak.
A few weeks ago, a native launchpad launched on @zksync .
It also launched a Token, currently trading at ~13m fdv. pic.twitter.com/EKqvlIOSLs
Incubation Fund
This fund consists of $700,000 collected continuously from the revenue of Holdstation users using paymaster. Used for the purpose of incubating launchpad projects on the zkSync ecosystem.
It is predicted that in the coming time, many projects will choose to launch on zkStarter because if they can launch on Holdstation, they will receive Incubation Fund and also $ZKS from zkSync Foundation for startup projects on zkSync
The above launch projects will have a better start because of dedicated support in terms of product expansion, participation in Paymaster Alliance (partnership with top zkSync projects) and financial support from Incubation Fund.

Whales' move to pay attention to the Zksync ecosystem
Whale “0x045d” has started swapping $ETH to $HOLD from early March until now
Currently this Whale has been bought for 90K $HOLD ($515K) with an Medium entry of around $6 on Synswap
No exception, just a few days ago, a wallet address related to JiahuaiXie (owning assets up to 65M$) bought 5,100 $HOLD at the price range of $6.4 on Syncswap and then Staking on Holdstation Defutures
It's no coincidence that a guy as big as Jiahuai Xie paid attention to $HOLD Okay
It is possible that these Whales have received insight from zkSync (listing rumors in early May), or they are accumulating $HOLD with the aim of participating in new launchpad releases on the Holdstation platform
Recently, launchpad on Holdstation launched the $AAI Token , and had a price growth of up to 3,100%. This further strengthens the hypothesis that whales are paying attention to the potential opportunities in the Zksync ecosystem.
Whether receiving insights from zkSync or simply wanting to hunt for new releases, Whales' actions show that they are very attentive and optimistic about Zksync's development prospects in the near future.
