IPO Token / Fair Launch

An IPO Token or Fair Launch is a cryptocurrency project that releases its token to the public all at once, with no special early access for insiders or investors. Think of it like a company going public on the stock market, except everyone gets the same shot at buying in simultaneously. You'll hear about this in crypto communities because it's seen as more transparent and less rigged than projects where founders secretly accumulate tokens before launch. For example, if CoinXYZ announces a fair launch next Tuesday at noon, theoretically no one—not the developers, not venture capitalists—has a head start buying before you do. It's meant to level the playing field, though execution varies widely.
