### Hello ICP Community, Builders & Entrepreneurs! 🐾
I’m Marlon Hank (@hankolious on X), and today, I’m both thrilled & nervous to finally introduce myself as the face behind Quokka!
This moment has been a long time coming. For the past year, I’ve been quietly building this incredible community with a clear vision: to create the fairest launch in history. It’s a vision born out of frustration with how things have been done in the crypto space.
* * *
### Why have we started to Build a Fair Launchpad?
We’ve all seen how launches on decentralized exchanges (DEXes) often play out:
- Unfair Practices: Insiders and bots buy first, leaving real investors at a disadvantage.
- Rugpulls Everywhere: A staggering 95% of launches end up as scams or failures.
- Backward Approach: Most creators build their communities after launching, going for SNS & leaving projects without trust or connection from day one.
I knew we could do better, and we have.
* * *
### What Sets Quokka Apart?
Here’s how I approached things differently compared to other founders:
1️⃣ **Community First:**
For an entire year, I focused on building a strong, engaged community before launching anything. Today, I’m stepping forward to reveal myself and show how much we’ve accomplished together.
2️⃣ **Collaboration Over Competition:**
We partnered with ICTO, merging our development efforts into a single, unified launchpad. Why have two competing launchpads when we can be stronger as a team?
3️⃣ **Patience Over Hype:**
Instead of rushing to launch, we prioritized doing things the right way. We hosted giveaways, ran meme contests, created partnerships, and waited until ICTO launchpad was fully ready.
* * *
### The Fairest Launch in History
At Quokka, fairness isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Here’s how we’re making it a reality:
- **Human Verification via BlockID:** Only real humans can participate, bots are completely excluded.
- **Inclusivity for the #ICP Community:** We’re creating widespread awareness to ensure no one misses out on this opportunity.
- **Equal Presale Pricing:** Everyone buys at the same price during the presale, from as little as 0.1 ICP to a maximum of 100 ICP = keeping whales at bay.
- **Locked Liquidity:** 88% of the funds raised go directly into a locked liquidity pool, ensuring stability and trust.
- **Enough Time to Participate:** With an 8-day presale window, everyone has the chance to join.
This isn’t just about launching a token, it’s about rewriting the rules to prioritize fairness, transparency, and community.
* * *
### What’s Next for Quokka?
Quokka is more than just a memecoin. We’re bringing memes to life and using them to promote real, legit projects of the #ICP ecosystem.
- **IRL Marketing Revolution:** Quokka will promote projects like OPENCHAT at festivals, events, and on the streets, to onboard more users. (Marketing plan will be revealed, as soon as we start it).
- **12% for Growth:** After the launch, 12% of the raised funds will go toward creating custom Quokka costumes and setting up everything we need for real-world campaigns.
* * *
### What I Want from You
I want you to participate in this launch. Not because we need to raise a lot of ICP, but to show the world how many of us there really are!
Recently, DecideAI announced on X that **25,000** humans have verified themselves on their platform. Let’s use this opportunity to make history and show the entire crypto space the power of the **ICP community**.
Even with a **small** investment of just 0.1 ICP, we can send a **strong** message. Let’s stress-test the ICTO launchpad and show everyone how big and united we truly are.

📅 Launch Date: Sunday, December 8th
⏰ Time: 8 PM GMT

Thank you all in advance for reading and participating. Together, we’re making history.
Yippie yay yey, happy Quokka Day! 🐾
With gratitude,
Marlon Hank
