Polkastarter Has a Sleek New Look! A Fresh Branding Boost for the Leading Web3 Fundraising Protocol

Today, we are happy to announce Polkastarter’s new, upgraded branding, going live on September 5th together with Polkastarter V4! With a fresh new look, we keep building and taking the future of early-stage fundraising head-on.

What is Polkastarter’s mission, promise, and how the new branding fits into the bigger picture? You will find the answers in this article.

Polkastarter’s Mission and Promise

Over the years, Polkastarter’s main mission remains twofold – to level the playing field in early-stage web3 fundraising and enable anyone access to innovation in the space. We are here to make web3 fairer, more inclusive, and true to its roots while continuing to set the blueprint for launching the space’s very best projects. We have been doing that since Polkastarter’s inception in 2020.

Our promise is clear: Polkastarter is here to make supporting promising early-stage web3 projects accessible to everyone while offering the best tools for participation and the most rewarding opportunities for our community.

On the project side, our values of long-term thinking, sustainable building, and overall web3 ecosystem welfare guide us in offering continuous support to promising web3 businesses. From acceleration to IDO marketing, through the post-TGE (Token Generation Event), and beyond, we offer our help and advice in all stages of project development. We focus on shaping better tokenomics, effective marketing strategies, and strong ecosystem connections to bring sustainable valuations and accurate price discovery.

Welcome to the new Polkastarter – even better, sleeker, fresher than before.

At the core of Polkastarter lies a truly decentralised fundraising protocol, reflecting our dedication to fostering a fairer globally open financial system. We believe in inclusivity, ensuring that no matter who you are or where you're from, you have a way to participate in the evolution of web3, and are a part of the change.

Polkastarter has built a strong brand over the years. With 115+ token sales so far, having +200,000 active users in 2024 alone, and over 20% of $POLS tokens staked, we are proud to be the catalyst of progress in web3. Our ambition goes beyond doing things differently on our own – we are also here to inspire others to follow suit, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

As of today, Polkastarter brings to mind quality, trustworthiness, and competence in the web3 fundraising realm. For a long time, we wanted to update our look to better suit our vision of sustainable growth in the vibrant and innovative web3 industry. And it’s finally happening!

Here is what the rebrand means for us, for you, and the wider Polkastarter ecosystem. 👇

New Branding, New Vibes with the Well-Trusted Name

New Polkastarter colours and style.

We have long thought about a brand update that would allow us to better represent our values of sustainability and fairness in web3. To show who we are — we’ve been wanting to feel more ‘fresh’ and more inclusive, while also having a strong identity that looks the part.

This rebrand is more than just a visual refresh; it’s a reflection of our commitment to evolving with the web3 space while staying true to our core principles. As we continue to grow and support more innovative projects, this new identity will help us connect with a broader audience, inspire trust, and reinforce our role as a leader in early-stage fundraising.

Now, it’s time to start this new chapter.

Plot twist: no new name, we’re still going strong with Polkastarter!

The strong branding and impeccable reputation of Polkastarter are the reasons why we decided to keep the name and stay on the secure haven of the polkastarter.com domain. However, with a tweak: you will now experience a completely new skin of Polkastarter as we’ve updated our website with a sleek new user interface (UI).

Visual Redesign

Welcome to the new Polkastarter – even better, sleeker, and fresher than before!

Our website received a fresh, redesigned attire. You will find a new homepage, dashboard, and a new centred navigation bar on the top of the page. The Missions page is a brand new addition from both the front end and the backend perspective.

With 50k POLS Power, you can already try out the new version in the exclusive V4 Beta. We will release the new platform to the public in early September.

Fresh New Logo

The Polkastarter logo has also been revamped, with the uplifted ‘P’ lettering and the new style and brand colours. All these changes were set in motion to better encompass our company spirit and goals.

New Polkastarter logo. How do you like the fresh blue vibe? 🌊

A New Baseline: “Feels good to be early”

Our new tagline captures the essence of Polkastarter. As the first IDO platform, we were early in shaping decentralised fundraising, giving our community early access to some of the most innovative web3 projects. We're all early in this space, navigating it together with aligned incentives and goals. It feels good to be part of a dedicated community, where our collective efforts pay off!

Brand New Merchandise

Now, let's move on to the ever more exciting part - the new merch! 🤩 We are preparing a handful (or bagful?) of new items to give away to our most loyal supporters. Look for us at web3 events or visit our HQ in Poolside Lisbon to get some of the Polkastarter goodies for yourself. We might send them over as rewards in some of the upcoming Missions too, so stay tuned and watch out for the announcements.

The new merchandise is still in preparation. When available, we expect it to go fast anywhere we show it, so let us put it this way: it always feels good to be early. 😉

Polkastarter – Ready to Dive Headfirst into our New Chapter

As we bring the outstanding legacy of Polkastarter into the future under the fresh new skin, we're excited to depart on this journey together with our ever-so-loyal community. Naturally, we will continue executing towards our vision and give the $POLS community plenty to be excited about and celebrate. We keep building. This is the Polkastarter journey—a continuous effort to innovate, support, and lead in the web3 space.

Get ready for September 5th. Cheers to this new chapter 🏖️
