Launchpool allows Binance users to receive new coins in return for staking their BNB, BUSD, and other tokens on the Binance Smart Chain mainnet.

The staked coins can be withdrawn at any given point during the 30 days. In this way, BNB, BUSD, and ARPA coin holders are the first to receive any new coins to be launched on Binance.
