KickPAD is a decentralized presale- and IDO platform based on the Binance Smart Chain. The Kick ecosystem consists of two platforms. The first one is KickDex, a free-for-anyone presale platform that utilizes smart contracts to automatically add and lock liquidity after the presale, reducing rugpulls and increasing investor confidence. KickDex aims to address the current problems in DeFi and make it a safer endeavor for everyone. It provides an easy way for promising projects to launch on Binance Smart Chain, engage in trustless token sales, and efficiently lock liquidity. However, it's important to note that there are other ways to rugpull or scam, such as minting new tokens or creating un-sellable tokens. KickDex focuses on addressing one of these issues, but it's crucial to stay aware of others.

The second part of the Kick ecosystem is the KickPad IDO platform. It takes a unique approach to IDOs by dividing 70 percent of the project allocations into private rounds and the remaining 30 percent into public rounds. Any unsold tokens from the private round are added to the public round.

Participants in both rounds are required to lock their KPAD tokens for a fixed period and will receive a 'pool weight score' based on their stake compared to the total number of tokens in the pool. The higher the weight score, the higher the allocation each participant is eligible for. It is possible to achieve a guaranteed allocation in both private and public rounds.
