# How Does a Fair Launch Work?

Fair launches have the determination to get rid of team incentives as defining characteristic. A fair launch aims to prevent projects from distributing tokens before the general public can access the platform. 

If launchpad “fees” are out of the game, projects may be able to save funds for research and development. For the most part, pre-sale platforms provide many funding options. White-listed investors frequently receive tokens in the initial round at a discount and dump them at launch.

The public may access the market in a separate round at a higher price. Someone may argue that pre-sales are unfair to the average trader. 

With the $SCP fairlaunch all the tokens are available to anyone at the same startprice. As a result, all investors have equal access to the market and nobody can sell (dump) tokens on the chart before buying. <br>

This means, with no presale/private sale and the $SCP token paired with stable BUSD liquidity, the $SCP price cannot drop below startprice but instead it create with every transaction or poker game an higher Floorprice.
