In short: the CADINU Launch Challenge backs six projects launched through CAD1 with up to $39,000 of support from CADINU Labs, in two lanes. The main lane backs three projects with up to $10,000 each, unlocked by milestones. The fun lane backs three meme coins with up to $3,000 each. Each lane is voted separately by the CADINU DAO. Applications open October 15, 2026.
Most token launches end on day one. The token exists, the chart moves for a week, and then the project goes quiet. We would rather see the opposite: builders who launch, keep building, and publish what they are building so that anyone can check it.
CAD1, the CADINU launchpad on BNB Chain, is the starting point. The Challenge is how we back the builders who start there and mean it. It is an ecosystem growth initiative, not a giveaway.
Main lane. Anyone with a project that has a real idea behind it, at any stage: an innovative idea written down clearly enough to judge, an MVP people can already try, or a live product with users or on-chain activity. Tracks: DeFi, Gaming and open topic.
Fun lane. For meme coins. No product is expected; what counts is the community, the culture and the activity around the token.
Both lanes use the same minimum bar below, and each lane has its own vote and its own three winners.
Holders and volume are checked on-chain, and only organic activity counts.
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| October 15, 2026 | Applications open |
| November 15, 2026 | Applications close; projects that meet the bar go to the CADINU DAO vote |
| November 15 - 30, 2026 | Community vote, top 3 announced, competition |
| Next 12 months | The initiative continues periodically |
Every project that meets the minimum bar and is confirmed on-chain goes to the CADINU DAO for a vote. The main lane and the fun lane are voted separately, and in each lane the three projects with the most votes win. The vote runs on the governance page the community already uses, so the process and the result are public. CADINU Labs runs the programme and delivers the support; the DAO decides the order.
Each project can unlock up to $10,000 of support in three phases, so up to $30,000 in total. Phase 1 starts at selection. Phases 2 and 3 are milestones: each has its own conditions and is reviewed separately, checked on-chain. All amounts are maximum values of CADINU Labs services and support, delivered against progress.
Phase 1: strategic support, up to $2,000. No conditions; it starts as soon as you win.
Phase 2: product development, up to $4,000. Milestone conditions: $50K market cap, 500 unique holders and $1,000 daily volume.
Phase 3: listing and market making, up to $4,000. Milestone conditions: product launched, $100K market cap, 1,000 unique holders and $2,000 daily volume.
Review dates for each phase are announced to the winners in their sessions. Listing coupons are discounts CADINU Labs holds with exchanges and passes on to the project. CADINU Labs does not pay listing fees in cash, and no exchange or listing acceptance is guaranteed.
Next phase: guidance and support for CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and BscScan listings, and other BSC ecosystem steps, plus official promotion and exposure through CADINU channels throughout. Eligible projects may also qualify for the public CADINU Alpha list.
Up to $3,000 of support per project, up to $9,000 in total, with no product development services:
The dates for each step are announced to the winners in their sessions. No exchange or listing acceptance is guaranteed.
