What Are Kommunitas Priority Projects and How Do They Protect Investors?

Kommunitas launchpad has implemented the “Kommunitas Priority Projects” initiative, a classification system designed to enhance investor security and confidence when participating in Initial KOMmunity Offerings (IKOs). This program identifies projects that have passed a rigorous set of due diligence criteria beyond standard requirements.

How to Identify a Kommunitas Priority Project

Projects that have earned this designation are clearly marked on the Kommunitas platform.

• Visual Identifier: Qualified projects are distinguished by a star emblem or symbol displayed directly on their project card, making them easily recognizable to investors.

Core Criteria for Kommunitas Priority Projects

To be classified as a Priority Project, a project must agree to and implement a series of stringent, investor-focused safeguards.

• Upfront Token Vesting: The project is required to deposit the full amount of its IKO tokens into the official Kommunitas vesting contract before the Token Generation Event (TGE). This measure is designed to prevent any risk of token vesting delays or defaults.
• Milestone-Based Fund Release: Rather than receiving all capital at once, the project team receives the funds raised in tranches that directly correspond to the token vesting schedule. For example, if 15% of tokens vest in a given month, only 15% of the raised funds are released to the team.
• Investor Refund Policy: A crucial safety net is in place if the token’s market price underperforms early on. If the token price remains below the IKO sale price for three consecutive days before 50% of the total tokens have vested, Kommunitas will provide investors with an option to receive a refund for their remaining unvested allocation.
• Guaranteed Initial Liquidity: The project must provide liquidity in a 1:1 ratio relative to its Initial Market Cap (IMC). For an IMC of $500,000, the project must supply $250,000 in a stablecoin (like USDC) and $250,000 worth of its own token.
• Locked Liquidity: All initial liquidity provided by the project must be securely locked with a trusted third-party service, such as DxLock, to prevent a rug pull.
• Locked Team & Marketing Tokens: All tokens allocated to the team, advisors, and marketing efforts must be locked and adhere to a pre-defined vesting schedule.
• Mandatory Smart Contract Audit: The token’s smart contracts must be thoroughly audited by a reputable and dependable audit firm to identify and fix any potential security vulnerabilities or code loopholes.
• Timely Exchange Listing: The project’s token must be listed on a public exchange within 14 days of its IKO on Kommunitas. The platform reserves the right to issue full refunds if this deadline is missed.
