On a global scale, crypto startups have raised over $25 Billion in 2021 alone, a record-breaker against the $3 Billion raised in 2020. 2022 follows a year that represented a smashing success for cryptocurrencies and the businesses built to support this industry\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that investors are concerned about a sharp decline in digital assets\u2019 prices, crypto startups are off to a strong start of the year, ranking billions of dollars in fresh capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/zwYUY5ilJjU40GzeR-pRQ8aeHohvySe9vyU7-a0hb4_LuS12oAIrgtQJGsG15mOmP9uFWn0nNW-LZPfxQelmqviGSX7v_fbu_C78eGgxiqGOA5nqIjcXEn4kYQvyVN4P16ho6zP-i_JRgv8zEL85VeKmQtPzf1SlagSr4wyhZm1VAkUJlM6g-3ARGg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common challenges that crypto startups face<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the crypto sector is booming, there are still some challenges that these startups are facing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/cristian-andrei-13b988205\/?originalSubdomain=ro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cristian Andrei<\/a>, our CEO, has concluded that the most essential aspects that need attention are the lack of a loyal community, the lack of fresh capital for star-rising startups that don\u2019t get the attention they deserve, and the lack of experience some of these teams have, whether it\u2019s before or after the project\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through IXFI as a whole, we believe that our contribution is going to resolve some of these aspects, thus helping the startups gather a proper community with a larger user base and enhanced liquidity through a large array of spot markets and trading pairs, along with world-class on-and-off ramp fiat partners, but also bring our much-needed experience to assist the crypto startup projects in their journey, pre and post-launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IXFI is actively researching and investing in crypto startups that deserve a state-of-the-art launch process to benefit from a larger user base and increased liquidity. We first-handedly observed all the challenges that startups face and decided to provide a platform that contributes to their product and service development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team aims to help startups at the beginning of their journey by creating a Launchpad that satisfies all of their needs listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our CEO\u2019s vision and mission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristian Andrei wanted to ensure that IXFI enhances the digital asset and portfolio management experience for every user, whether at their trading desk &#8211; or anywhere they go, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/go\/app\/\">IXFI Mobile App<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IXFI aims to offer safe trading and investment instruments that are easy to use for every part of our ecosystem: from spot trading to buying and selling digital assets using our on-and-off ramp partners. Furthermore, our vision doesn\u2019t stop here: it goes far beyond a simple exchange platform with the introduction of IXFI Launchpad &#8211; the tool that aims to help startups build a community and bring quality projects closer to our users. We\u2019re expecting to make the Launchpad available by Q1 2023 for our community members, partners, and promising crypto startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the potential benefits for startups that choose IXFI\u2019s Launchpad are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Community exposure<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gain visibility among the growing community of IXFI users located all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flexible solvency and cash flow<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When a project is launched on IXFI\u2019s Launchpad, it will be listed on our exchange, thus providing access to world-class liquidity for a wide variety of trading pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Coin issuance<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The project\u2019s token will be granted instantly to a large user base enrolled for the token distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Further development &amp; consulting<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after being listed, the crypto startup project will continue to get significant support, advice, and access to every part of IXFI\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Project gamification<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/rewards.ixfi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IXFI\u2019s Rewards program<\/a> and available gamification features, projects have the possibility to spark interest and hype among our users by offering tokens, <a href=\"https:\/\/ixfi.com\/blog\/general\/nfts-the-ownership-certificates-of-the-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFTs<\/a>, or various other prizes for our users to win in tournaments, raffles, and other special events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup-48x27.png 48w, https:\/\/www.ixfi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/crypto-startup.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IXFI: The friendly platform with multiple functionalities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ixfi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IXFI<\/a> is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that has a friendly approach to our large array of functionalities: trading over 330 spot digital assets (each of them having a trading pair against BTC, ETH, USDT, and BUSD), as well as instant buying and selling over 70 digital currencies with 70+ fiat pairs (using our on-and-on ramp partners) &#8211; and last but not least, the opportunity to convert over 2500 pairs with 0% fees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IXFI implemented a new Reward Program that ensures platform growth and user satisfaction.

In order to achieve this, we plan on introducing other types of rewards like tournaments, raffles, and other activities for them to explore. Anything that helps our users get in touch with new projects that could spark their interest and increase that crypto startup&#8217;s adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rewards Program is and will be an important part of our ecosystem that will continue to bring great opportunities to our users to complement the Launchpad.&nbsp; We are actively involved in closing partnerships and offering great opportunities for our users to become part of great projects &amp; startups.<br><br>Our goal is to create a system that will allow any type of crypto project or startup to integrate with IXFI and be able to extend their offers or services directly to our user base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IXFI Labs: The backbone for success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re constantly updating and improving our product and infrastructure to sustain our vision and ambitions. In addition to this, a great Launchpad requires great projects, and in order for us to be able to incubate and support them, we are creating IXFI Labs. IXFI Labs will represent an alliance and consortium of the greatest experts, VCs, and established projects in the crypto space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to offer a comprehensive range of services that begin with consulting before the token is added to The Launchpad and continue with post-listing and marketing assistance. Our objective is to empower project teams to concentrate on development and creation while we manage logistics, marketing, publicity, and the initial user base. Our process starts with seeking out formidable teams with distinct and original ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Launchpad assists Blockchain projects by increasing their presence throughout the crypto ecosystem and helping them generate funding. This is accomplished by making a project\u2019s tokens available to our rapidly growing community of over 200.000 IXFI users &#8211; and we\u2019re expecting to hit 500.000+ users in the coming months.
