Launchpool is a revolutionary way to earn new tokens: A complete guide for Bybit participants

Launchpool is an ecosystem that allows crypto investors to deposit multiple assets simultaneously to earn project tokens for free. This tool makes participation in early-stage project development accessible to everyone, as funds can be withdrawn at any time without restrictions or penalties.

The Bybit platform develops Launchpool as one of the key ways to attract users to promising blockchain projects. The system supports a variety of staking assets—from stablecoins USDT and USDC to project tokens and specialized assets like MNT, depending on the specific Launchpool campaign.

What is Launchpool on the Bybit platform and who can participate?

On Bybit, Launchpool is primarily an opportunity for regular traders to earn income from new projects. To get started, users must complete identity verification—this is a mandatory security requirement. Corporate accounts are not allowed, nor are users from restricted regions and countries of the European Economic Area (including Austria, Germany, France, and others).

Sub-accounts are strictly not eligible to participate in Launchpool. If you are a new user, registration takes just a few minutes—after which you will have immediate access to the platform.

How to start staking and earning income on Bybit Launchpool?

Entering the Launchpool is straightforward. Go to the main Launchpool page, click the “Register” button for the selected project, and after successful registration, you will be able to deposit funds and accumulate tokens.

The system includes a special warming-up period, during which pre-deposited tokens are automatically activated at the launch start. Important: tokens staked during the warming-up phase generate rewards only during the main staking period, not before.

It is recommended to prepare in advance—ensure your account is verified, have enough assets for staking, and review the specific campaign terms on the Launchpool page.

How is daily staking profit calculated: how does the math work?

Launchpool is a system where rewards are fairly distributed based on your share of the total pool. Every hour, the system takes a snapshot of your staking amount at a random moment, and based on 24 such snapshots, the average deposit value for the day is calculated.

Daily income is calculated using the formula:

Daily profit = (Your average daily amount / Total amount of all participants) × Daily reward pool

Example: if you deposit 100 USDT for staking and represent 10% of the total pool, and the daily distribution is 1000 new tokens, you will receive 100 tokens.

Random snapshots occur hourly, and their timing is revealed daily after 00:00 UTC. This prevents manipulation and ensures equal conditions for all participants.

Rewards are credited to your funding account daily after 12:00 UTC over several hours. Note: profit is accrued only if it is equal to or exceeds $0.01.

VIP privileges in Bybit Launchpool

VIP status unlocks additional opportunities in Launchpool. First, you get higher staking limits, allowing larger deposits and maximizing potential earnings.

Second, VIP traders benefit from an increased estimated annual percentage rate (APR). While regular users receive the base rate, VIP traders can enjoy more favorable conditions on their deposits.

For new users, there is a special boost: within 7 days of registration, you can activate an increased staking limit if a new Launchpool project starts during that period. This bonus remains valid for the project even after the 7-day period if already applied.

Newly granted VIP users receive a 30-day period with increased limits, activated upon their first VIP status upgrade. Like for new users, this period applies to the project for which you registered.

“Loan and Staking” feature: increase your deposit with leverage

Launchpool also offers a lending feature. If qualified, you can borrow funds with up to 3X leverage and use them exclusively for staking in Launchpool.

Example: with 100 USDT of your own funds and 3X leverage, you can borrow 300 USDT, totaling 400 USDT for staking. This significantly increases potential profits but also raises risks.

Loan costs are calculated hourly: Hourly interest = Loan amount × Hourly rate

Minimum hourly fee is 0.00000001 USDT, and periods up to one hour are rounded up to a full hour.

Loan repayment is automatic: when you cancel staking, the system first covers interest and debt from the loan pool, then returns the remaining principal. There are no early repayment penalties—interest is accrued only for actual hours of fund usage.

The protection system automatically closes the position if accumulated interest reaches 98% of the principal. Afterward, the remaining amount is returned to the user.

Referral program: additional earnings in Launchpool

During each new Launchpool campaign, you can generate a personal referral link by clicking “Share.” Friends who register and participate in the project using your code during the campaign will be considered successful referrals.

For each referred friend, you receive bonus rewards at the end of the Launchpool campaign. These rewards are transferred to the Bonus Center, where you can claim them. The specific reward amounts depend on each campaign’s parameters and are detailed on the project page.

Frequently asked questions about withdrawals, security, and technical aspects

When can I withdraw tokens? Staked assets can be withdrawn at any time during the active period—they will automatically be credited to your funding account. After the Launchpool season ends, the withdrawal button is deactivated, and your funds are returned automatically (a slight delay may occur).

Is reinvestment supported? Currently—not. Daily rewards are not automatically reinvested. If you want to increase your income, you must manually deposit new funds, but note: withdrawing funds reduces your average staking amount, thereby decreasing profits.

Why is Launchpool a strictly controlled system? Bybit applies daily data filtering to disqualify unauthorized participants—those registering multiple accounts, engaging in fraudulent activities, or violating terms. If misconduct is detected, the system automatically blocks the main amount and returns it to the user’s account. If the participant has an active loan, the system also returns the debt and loan amount to the pool.

How to check your loan details? Loan information is available in the “Current Loan” section of your Launchpool staking history. If you haven’t borrowed, this section will not appear.

How to interpret snapshot results? The results of hourly snapshots and their timing are displayed in the “Effective Average Staking Amount” section on the staking records page the day after the snapshot completes. You can select a specific date for detailed review.

Launchpool is an evolving tool: conditions are regularly reviewed and updated, so it is recommended to check the official page before each new campaign for the latest information on limits, rates, and specific rules.
