QuickLaunch was established to make Polygon the premier destination for decentralised, high quality, credible, and transparent token launches.
Our mission is to support early stage projects transitioning from concept to market by providing structured grant support, liquidity assistance, and launch guidance, ensuring teams have the tools and network to succeed after their token generation event (TGE) and establish longevity in the Polygon ecosystem
The program bridges the gap between funding and long-term ecosystem integration, enabling projects to launch, grow, and sustain themselves on Polygon. By pairing capital support with ecosystem resources, QuickLaunch helps build a sticky and interconnected network of builders, exchanges, and protocols that collectively drive onchain activity and user adoption.
Grant Strategy and Selection
QuickLaunch operates with a strict focus on quality and long-term impact. Since inception, the program has reviewed over 100 applicants but intentionally funded only 1 full launch so far; this is to ensure that resources are directed toward projects with credible teams, clear roadmaps, and the strongest potential for sustained contribution to the Polygon ecosystem.
This disciplined approach ensures that grants are not spent arbitrarily but instead used strategically to attract and retain builders who can deliver measurable outcomes. QuickLaunch has now secured the full roster of launch participants for its inaugural cohort.
Impact of Funds Distributed So Far
PolyPicks: QuickLaunch Pioneer Driving Onchain Growth
Grant Amount: 300,000 POL
Poly Picks AI was the first project launched through the QuickLaunch Grant Program, setting the benchmark for how Polygon native teams can accelerate from idea to measurable impact.
Since launch in August 2025, Poly Picks AI has achieved over $600,000 USD in trading volume, executed more than 10,000 onchain transactions, and onboarded ~300 tokenholders alongside a community of over 1,000 members.
The project successfully raised $375,000 USD across private and public rounds, with a total pledged amount of $920,000 USD, demonstrating strong investor and community confidence.
Poly Picks’ performance validated the QuickLaunch framework as a viable model for post grant acceleration and onchain activation, proving that early liquidity and marketing support can translate directly into measurable ecosystem impact.
