# Problem & Solution

Problem: Existing launchpads face several structural issues: high commissions (PinkSale typically charges around
\
5%), rigid liquidity minimums (reported 49% on some services), limited flexibility between softcap and hardcap
\
structures, and reputational issues driven by fraudulent launches. User experience is frequently cited as clunky
\
and non-intuitive. Solution: Astropad improves all these dimensions by offering a 4% commission, a lower 40%
\
liquidity requirement on BSC launches, no enforced softcap-hardcap percentage limits, built-in audited services
\
(with verified providers), and a marketplace where services are paid using ASP. Aggressive, guaranteed
\
marketing boosts and a ranking/AMA system paid in ASP ensure that listed projects receive visibility and
\
community engagement.
