Vision

What projects within crypto today will be around tomorrow? It will be the projects that address the problems of now as well those of our future. ElevatePAD will help develop projects with real world utility that are actively aligned with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles. DeFi (Decentralized Finance), blockchain and Web3 are still in their infancy. As the spaces continue to mature and gain foundational solidity in global society, all use cases going forward must be directed towards the integration of processes that address the wide variety of humanitarian and ecological issues affecting our planet. ElevatePAD will lead the DeFi industry by becoming the premiere decentralized launchpad for legitimate and impactful ESG projects.

ElevatePAD was initially developed by the founders of Ponyo Impact, an innovative Auto-Impact token, with a focus on Coral Reef Restoration. The Ponyo Impact team had a greater vision to help other legitimate ESG impact projects come to life. Beyond the initial development and conception of ElevatePAD, our future lies in the collective voice of our community that will push forward the ethos of DeFi. Without our community, there is no Elevate!

The Council

The ElevatePAD Council is a ten-member council whose members are appointed by the community. It acts as an overseer, which has the ability to veto projects or proposals in extreme circumstances, and can approve or disapprove of ElevateMEME projects.

ElevatePAD Process & Structure

Impact projects are submitted to ElevatePad.

To be considered by the community for approval or rejection, the project must:

1. Present a project with a legitimate utility that also has a positive ESG impact.

2. Core team members will be vetted by the Elevate Council based on their prior experience as well overall intent of their proposed project.

3. Undergo a community vote through the ElevateDAO

4. Undergo a third-party KYC as well third-party audit of smart contracts.

5. ElevateDAO votes on the proposed project. It is then either approved or rejected by the community of $ELEV holders.

6. 24 hours after approval, the IDO may begin.

7. All raises will be in $ETH, unless the project team proposes otherwise.

Token Mechanics

ElevatePad’s utility token $ELEV will be paired with $WETH. Token holders will gain access to IDOs launched through the platform as well as the Meme Factory. Each transaction splits/burns/buys to keep some upward pressure.

Transaction Tax

1% Donated to the Coral Reef Foundation

1% To platform maintenance and development

1% Added to liquidity for sustainability

1% Added to ElevatePAD treasury

Elevate Token Factory

Producing a meme token can be a tedious and risky proposition, but Elevate is here to help. With our Token Factory dApp you can create your own customized token for any project. Auto-staking… buy back and burn…marketing tax…add liquidity… the Factory has got you covered with all the state of the art features needed for success. In addition to that, every contract the Factory churns out is automatically tested and secured by our new Elevate auditing system, and therefore protected from any malicious manipulation.

REQUIREMENTS

• 1% of all custom token transaction volume must go to a charitable cause through our partner The Giving Block. Please check their platform to find a charity that suits you. If you have a charity or cause that isn’t available on The Giving Block, please let us know and we will be happy to facilitate it upon review. ⁃

• .5% of all volume from projects created and launched in the Factory will automatically go to the Elevate Treasury.

ElevateDAO

$ELEV holders will have the power to vote on IDOs, make proposals, and dictate the use of the Elevate Treasury all through our DAPP. As this global community grows, the range of voices will too, allowing for a truly decentralized ESG launchpad.

ElevatePAD IDOs

Community will utilize their token weight to vote on proposed IDO projects, and ultimately will have the final say as to who ElevatePAD supports (except in extreme circumstances). As the community grows, the range of voices represented will to allowing for a truly decentralized platform.

Community Proposals

Our community may wish some day to reduce the $ELEV fees, reduce Elevate Council members term limits, or allocate treasury funds to launch a developmental project incubator. Whatever the Elevate community desires to propose can be done through our DAPP.

Veto

The right to veto can be exercised by both the community and the council. In extreme cases, it is reserved by the Council for the overall benefit of the community. However, the community also has the ability to override the Council’s veto if they receive 75% or more of the vote after the Council has explained its decision and has engaged with the community.

ElevateMEME

Approved by the Elevate Council

Elevate will facilitate fair launch proposals that aim to tap into prominent crypto-meta trends with an impact twist. This will allow projects to gain exposure from the Elevate community while also acknowledging the high-risk/high-reward potential of such projects. Only KYC'd teams will be allowed to utilize the ElevateMEME. Additionally, this mechanism will allow projects to cater to current events that require urgent fund generation, as well as general fundraising for a wide range of causes. Many DeFi smart contract innovations have come from the meme space, therefore ElevateMEME will be a place for teams to further reimagine Web 3.0.

How to Submit a Project

All projects must use Elevate Token Factory to launch. KYC and Audits badges through our partners available as well.

How to Participate in a Raise

Connect to our DAPP. Your ELEV holdings will be verified with tiers. Participation is FCFS.
