MotionDEV is the first project launching through Pineapple Express: a structured, community-first system that gives the Pineapple community early and fair access to verified projects. Every Pineapple Express launch rewards loyalty over luck, providing real utility for $PAPPLE holders through early access, controlled allocations, and transparent participation.
By joining the MotionDEV launch on Pineapple Express, you gain:
- Early entry at the lowest valuations: before public price discovery.
- Massive upside potential: early allocations can multiply significantly as the project scales.
- Fair, controlled access: capped per wallet to prevent whale dominance.
- Real $PAPPLE utility: staking, burning, and engagement all unlock tangible value.
Learn how to take part below, or watch our 60-second walkthrough video.
Step 1: Qualify for Whitelist Access
Before every launch, Pineapple Express determines which wallets receive early access. For the MotionDEV launch, there are three ways to qualify:
1. Stake $PAPPLE
- Inner Circle → 1 guaranteed whitelist spot
- Penthouse Elite → 3 guaranteed whitelist spots
- Lounge Members and Hall Guests → entered into a lottery draw for a chance to win
2. Burn $PAPPLE (Burn-2-Access)
- Take part in Burn-2-Access events. For every 1,000 $PAPPLE burned, you receive one raffle ticket.
- The more you burn, the higher your odds of winning one of the limited whitelist spots.
3. Engage in Campaigns & Quests
- Extra whitelist spots are occasionally distributed through community campaigns, Express challenges, and ecosystem events.
- Follow Pineapple’s official channels closely to catch these opportunities.
Step 2: Pre-Launch Options and OTC Desk (Optional)
Before the Token Generation Event (TGE), whitelist holders can manage their access through the Pineapple WL OTC Desk. The OTC Desk allows you to:
- Buy or sell whitelist spots securely between verified participants.
- Transfer a whitelist position without risk of scams or unauthorised listings.
- Consolidate or split allocations ahead of launch.
It is fully on-chain, simple to use, and removes the need for unverified OTC trades. Use the OTC Desk if you wish to acquire or sell a whitelist spot before the MotionDEV launch begins.
Step 3: Prepare for Launch
Each project launch follows a structured rollout, and this will be the case for MotionDEV.
- Project introduced to the community through Pineapple Express.
- Education and awareness period (AMAs, spotlights, and deep-dives).
- Launch date, TGE details, and location of launch shared publicly.
This ensures the community has time to learn, engage, and prepare before the TGE. Announcements are only shared through verified Pineapple channels. You can check the full list of verified sources here.
Before launch, make sure your wallet is ready:
- Use a secure self-custodial wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
- Confirm you’re connected to the correct network (Base for this launch).
- Ensure you have enough native chain tokens (Base for this launch) to cover:
- Your token purchase (within your whitelist allowance)
- Gas fees, which may spike around launch time.
Keep extra funds available for retries or higher gas.
- Never use exchange wallets.
Step 4: The Early Access Window (Whitelist Phase)
Approximately 10- 30 minutes before launch, the official token contract address and launch location is revealed in the verified announcement channels. When liquidity is added during the Token Generation Event (TGE), the three-minute whitelist window begins.
Only approved whitelist wallets can buy during this period:
- Each whitelist spot = maximum 0.05% of total supply
- Elites (Penthouse) have 3× allocation
- First-come, first-served: speed and preparation matter
There are two ways to enter:
Manual Buy (recommended for most users):
- Trade directly on PineappleDEX using the verified contract address
- Set slippage high (up to 100 %)
- Use aggressive gas fees to prioritise your transaction
- If a transaction fails, retry immediately - the window is short
Sniping Tools (advanced users):
- You may use trusted sniping bots such as Maestro or Banana Gun to execute faster trades
- Only use bots that do not require your private key or seed phrase
- Pineapple does not endorse or control third-party bots - use at your own discretion
Tip: Pre-approve the token contract and ensure your wallet has sufficient BASE for gas before the window opens.
Step 5: Public Launch
After the three-minute whitelist window, the token becomes open to the public. You can now:
- Buy additional tokens without limit
- Sell tokens purchased during the whitelist phase
To maintain stability and fairness, a temporary tax system applies:
- 15 % buy tax
- 20 % sell tax
These taxes gradually decrease by about 1 % every 2–3 minutes until they stabilise at 5 % for both buys and sells. This mechanism helps protect price action, reward early participants, and ensure an orderly market open.
Step 6: After the Launch
Once the launch is complete, you can:
- Trade, track live price, volume, and charts directly on PineappleDEX
- Follow MotionDEV’s official channels (linked in the Pineapple Express announcement) for updates and milestones.
- Top-tier stakers (Inner Circle and Penthouse Elite) will receive launch project airdrops.
- Mansion members (Whales, Inner Circle, and Penthouse Elite) will receive exclusive project updates and alpha.
Pineapple Express continues to support projects beyond launch day. Every project that enters the Express undergoes extensive due diligence - demonstrating meaningful progress through prototypes, MVPs, and verifiable delivery before going live. Post-launch, both the Pineapple team and MotionDEV will provide regular updates covering development milestones, integrations, and releases - maintaining long-term transparency and accountability.
