Jul 22, 2025
The Qubic chain is rapidly gaining traction as a powerhouse for innovation, and now, a crucial piece of its ecosystem is about to launch:
Nostromo, the first dedicated launchpad on the Qubic chain. Nostromo is a meticulously designed, sci-fi-inspired gateway that promises to revolutionize how new projects secure funding and connect with a passionate community.
Introducing Nostromo: Charting a Course for Innovation
Named after the iconic spaceship from the movie "Alien," Nostromo perfectly encapsulates the spirit of embarking on bold new journeys. Just as the Nostromo ventured into the unknown, this launchpad empowers new blockchain projects to embark on their own voyages, launching their tokens through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) on the robust Qubic tickchain. The platform's entire aesthetic, from its roles to its functionalities, will resonate with themes of metamorphosis and space missions, creating a truly immersive and engaging experience for both project creators and investors.

Beyond the Horizon: Nostromo's Groundbreaking Features
Nostromo isn't just about a cool theme; it's built with a comprehensive suite of features designed for efficiency, transparency, and user benefit:
A Hub for Discovery: The Nostromo landing page will serve as your mission control. It will prominently display upcoming and ongoing token sales, provide a clear overview of the platform's mission, and explain the benefits for both project owners and investors.
Transparent Project Lifecycle: From "Draft Mode" to "Funded" or "Failed," every project on Nostromo undergoes a rigorous, community-driven approval process. Projects move from private draft to public visibility only after being reviewed and approved by DAO members. This ensures that only credible and well-vetted projects reach the "Upcoming Pools" section, where investment can begin.
Fair and Sustainable Capital Distribution: To foster a thriving and sustainable Qubic ecosystem, 5% of all capital raised by projects will be allocated to:
4.5% Smart Contract shareholders
0.5% Nostromo team.
This model ensures the continuous growth and support of the entire Qubic community.Tiered Participation for Enhanced Benefits: Nostromo rewards engagement and commitment. A tiered system incentivizes users to stake their $QUBIC tokens, unlocking a range of benefits. Higher staked amounts translate to elevated "Tiered Roles," granting users greater pool weights, significantly reduced participation fees (from 3% for lower tiers down to a mere 1% for the highest tier), and exclusive access to certain opportunities.
Seamless Token Claiming: A dedicated "Claim Section" provides a straightforward way for users to claim their purchased tokens and staking rewards. The claimable amount and associated fees will be dynamically adjusted based on the user's tier level, directly rewarding higher participation.
Personalized User Dashboard: Users will seamlessly log in using Metamask Snaps, granting them access to a centralized dashboard. This personal command center allows them to easily view their investments, manage their projects (if they are creators), and oversee all their claims and staking activities.
Community-Governed Fees: In line with the decentralized ethos of the Qubic chain, all Smart Contract fees within Nostromo will be set via a community DAO vote, ensuring fairness and transparency.
Why Nostromo is Your Advantage on the Qubic Chain
Nostromo is poised to be a game-changer for several reasons, offering significant advantages to both project creators and investors:
