Introducing: Public Round
We’re excited to unveil the Public Round, a much-requested upgrade to Ramen’s Fixed Price Launches that further completes the token launch experience for both builders and contributors.
This update introduces a new, open-access phase for token launches that unlocks more flexibility and optionality in launch configurations. We also took this opportunity to refine our existing processes to make the participation process more inclusive, more accessible, and easier for users to understand and participate in.
Key Changes
New Public Round phase
Optional phase with a configurable defined token allocation by projects launching on Ramen; ungated and open to all.
Rebranded and streamlined Community Round
The Private Round, Gacha Round, and Overflow Round are now unified under a revamped structure named Community Round, comprising two phases — Community GTD and Community FCFS.
Community Round
Phase 1 — Community GTD (Guaranteed allocation)
This phase offers guaranteed allocation to eligible contributors via:
- Gacha Lottery Participation: Users holding gRAMEN may use their Gacha to participate in the Gacha Lottery of their desired token launch; winners of allocation tickets will gain eligibility to contribute during the Community GTD phase. Each unique wallet can win a maximum of 10 allocation tickets.
- Whitelisted Addresses: Projects may whitelist specific wallet addresses based on criteria such as NFT ownership or community engagement.
This phase typically runs for 4 hours, during which all eligible participants may contribute up to their allocated amount.
Phase 2 — Community FCFS (First-come-first-served)
Any unfilled allocation from the Community GTD phase will be made available in the Community FCFS phase.
- Eligible participants include all whitelisted users and Gacha participants who did not win allocation tickets.
- Eligible participants may contribute up to 5x the allocation cap of one allocation ticket in the Community GTD round.
- This phase typically lasts 1 hour.
Public Round
The Public Round introduces an open and ungated opportunity for broader participation — no whitelist or allocation tickets required. It is available as an optional phase at the discretion of the launching project.
Projects can configure the following parameters:
- Total token allocation available for the Public Round
- Contribution caps per unique wallet
- Token price (launches may set a discounted token price for the Community Round and a full token price for the Public Round)
If this phase is enabled, any unfilled allocation from the Community Round will automatically roll over into the Public Round, ensuring maximum participation.
Why This Matters
This update represents a natural expansion of our product and a continuation of our mission to become the definitive token launch infrastructure on Berachain.
By introducing the Public Round and refining the Community Round, we’re unlocking more launch configurations and greater flexibility and optionality for projects, and offer users more ways to participate.
More importantly, the Public Round positions Ramen to onboard a fast-growing audience of newcomers on Berachain. We believe this move will drive sustainable long-term growth and increased adoption for Ramen and for the projects launching their tokens on Ramen.
Over the next few weeks, we will be unveiling and hosting new token launches. Look out to the Public Round feature on Ramen!
