# What Is Launchpad?

EarnBIT Launchpad is where you can buy tokens of new crypto projects **before they are listed on the market**, usually at a fixed price.

Projects are **selected manually** by EarnBIT's team, which checks each one before it goes live. With EarnBIT Streaming (coming soon), project teams will be able to present their idea, share updates and answer the community's questions live before and during the sale.
