# Introduction

[Snekfun](https://snek.fun) is a fair-launch token launchpad built on Cardano. It lets anyone create and trade tokens in seconds — no coding required, no pre-mines, no insider allocations.

Every token launched on Snekfun starts on a bonding curve at the same valuation. As more people buy, the price rises automatically. Once the token reaches a market cap of **69,000 ADA**, it graduates and its liquidity migrates to **Splash DEX** where its LP is burned.

  <Accordion title="Why Snekfun?">
    Cardano offers a fundamentally different foundation for token launches — one that prioritizes security, decentralization, and emerging markets.

    * **Native assets** — tokens on Cardano are built into the protocol itself, not smart contracts. This makes them significantly harder to exploit — there is no contract code to hack
    * **Unmatched reliability** — Cardano has never gone down since its launch. No outages, no congestion halts, no rollbacks
    * **True decentralization** — Cardano consistently ranks among the most decentralized blockchains by stake pool distribution, meaning no single entity controls the network
    * **First-mover advantage** — the Solana launchpad space is oversaturated. On Cardano, you're early — tokens have room to stand out and communities have room to grow
    * **Instant trading with Turbo Wallet** — Snekfun is the first launchpad on Cardano to offer instant trading through its built-in [Turbo wallet](/how-it-works/turbo-wallet), giving you the speed of Solana without leaving Cardano
