What is Starbase?
Starbase is a token launchpad where every token has a price floor — a guaranteed minimum value that can only go up.
You can think of Starbase like a launchpad for community tokens where you always know the worst-case exit price.
The one-line idea: Every Starbase token has two prices — a Market Price (moves up/down) and a Floor Price (guaranteed minimum that only rises).
The problem Starbase solves
Most tokens have a scary downside:
Tokens can lose 90%+ of their value overnight
Creators hesitate to launch tokens because a crash can damage their reputation
Traders avoid tokens because the downside feels unlimited
Starbase is designed to make tokens feel less like a cliff and more like a bounded-risk market.
How Starbase is different
On Starbase:
Every token has a Floor Price — the minimum value your tokens can be redeemed for
The Floor Price only increases over time; it never goes down
You can always exit at the Floor Price, no matter what happens in the market
The floor is backed by real reserves that exist on-chain and are used programmatically to support redemptions.
Two prices, one token
Every token has:
Market Price The current trading price. It moves based on buying and selling activity.
Floor Price A guaranteed minimum redemption price. It only rises.
Market Price can swing. Floor Price only climbs.
Who is Starbase for?
Creators & Brands
Launch a token for your community without the fear that a catastrophic crash will permanently harm your reputation.
Traders
Participate in token markets with bounded downside — you always know the worst-case exit price (the floor).
How it works (high level)
When you buy a token on Starbase:
You pay in USDC (a digital dollar that’s designed to track $1.00).
A portion of your purchase is added to protocol reserves.
Those reserves are used to back the Floor Price.
As reserves grow, the Floor Price is raised programmatically.
When you sell, you have two options:
Sell at Market Price (like a normal trade), or
Redeem at Floor Price (guaranteed minimum)
