Echo Launchpad

Echo is a private ICO launchpad that aims to provide users with high-quality early-stage investment opportunities in a private, fund-like manner.

It acts as a decentralized marketplace for lead investors to prove their analytical skills, letting them create their own communities to share investments and earn a percentage of the profit generated from sales made by their followers. This approach keeps community leads incentivized and results-focused to deliver the best early-stage experience possible.

To participate in group ICOs on the Echo crypto platform, investors must complete KYC verification, register an investor profile, and apply to the investment group they want to follow. Once a new offering appears within the group, they will be able to fund their wallets and opt in to the ICO.

This pioneering approach to conducting ICOs allowed Echo crypto launchpad to achieve solid returns in 2025, with LAB Terminal becoming the most successful project launched after its private token sale (16.65x). The platform also stood out with the launch of Sonar, its solution for public ICO launches and the $XPL token sale, which reached a 33.78x ATH ROI.

On October 21, 2025, the Echo platform was acquired by Coinbase, which aimed to create more accessible, efficient, and transparent capital markets.
