Pineapple Express for Founders

Everything you need to build, launch, and grow your token - in one place.

The current landscape of launchpads focus narrowly on TGE and hype cycles, often extracting value through predatory fees, poor user targeting, and minimal post-launch support. Founders are left to assemble a fragmented stack of tools with no unified process, and no long-term support.

We’re here to change that: Pineapple Express gives founders the tools and support to launch their token with confidence: just one platform to launch and grow from idea to long-term adoption.

Full-stack incubation to help shape your token model, access logic, and launch roadmap.

Avoid predatory launchpads and VCs - reward and grow your community instead

Founder FAQs

(01)

Who can apply to launch a token on Pineapple Express?

Anyone building a serious Web3 project can apply - but we only work with real, experienced teams. Founders must be fully identifiable and demonstrate a proven track record of success, whether in Web3 or traditional tech. We don’t support anonymous teams or projects without clear ownership and accountability.

(02)

What types of projects do you support?

We’re chain-agnostic and open to all verticals: DeFi, gaming, infrastructure, L2s, and more. The core requirement is that you’re building something with long-term value and meaningful user impact. We prioritize projects that show strong fundamentals, clear differentiation, and real potential for adoption.

(03)

Is there a vetting process?

Yes - and it’s intentionally rigorous. Every project goes through a comprehensive due diligence process. We verify team identities, assess experience, and require third-party code audits. Tokenomics must align with community and ecosystem success. Only the best make it through - and we stand by every project that launches with us.

(04)

Do I need a live product to apply?

Not necessarily, but you must show early traction and a credible, realistic roadmap. This could include MVPs, testnets, user waitlists, or early community growth combined with a go-to-market plan that demonstrates your ability to execute.

(05)

Are anonymous teams allowed?

No. We do not accept anonymous or pseudonymous teams. All founders must be fully identifiable, KYCed via a reputable third party provider, and have a track record that proves their capability. Too many users have been burned by anonymous teams with no accountability - we believe transparency is non-negotiable.

(06)

What chains do you support?

Pineapple is fully chain-agnostic. We handle token creation, smart contract deployment, whitelist logic, and tax setup across 10+ EVM-compatible chains - including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, and more. You can focus on building your product where it makes the most sense, while we take care of everything needed to launch and scale your token on the chain of your choice.

(07)

What happens after the launch?

We remain actively involved post-launch, to support both your and our community. Our focus is on helping you build for long-term success, not short-term hype. That means continued support, strategic collaboration, and accountability. Post-launch campaigns, incentives, and tools keep communities engaged well past TGE. You will receive long-term support from our Pineapple Partner network too: from web3 projects and blockchains to sports stars and celebrities.

It’s not just a launchpad...
