Parachute: TON Launchpad and Airdrops

New tokens on TON show up every week, and telling the worthwhile ones from the rest is hard. Parachute collects project campaigns in one Telegram mini app: token sales, reward tasks and airdrops 🪂

The project calls itself the first launchpad and airdrop aggregator built entirely inside a Telegram Mini App.

What the format means

A launchpad is a platform where new crypto projects run their first token sales. An airdrop is a giveaway of tokens to users for actions: following channels, completing tasks, inviting friends.

Parachute combines both. In the app you join sales and browse campaigns presented as the most promising in the TON ecosystem.

What you can do inside

• Explore campaigns of TON blockchain projects and their terms.
• Join token sales when a project opens one.
• Complete tasks and collect ranking points.
• Invite friends to earn more points.

The bot's only command, /start, simply launches the app. Everything else happens in the mini app's interface.

How airdrops work in practice

The idea is simple: a project wants an audience and hands out part of its tokens to people who meet the conditions. The reward depends on points, ranking position and the rules of that campaign.

1. Open the app and pick a campaign.
2. Read the terms and deadlines carefully.
3. Complete tasks that need neither money nor wallet access.
4. Watch for announcements about distribution dates.

The main point: risks

New project tokens are among the riskiest asset classes. Many airdrops end with a token that drops right away or never gets liquidity. No one guarantees income.

• When you join a sale, you may lose everything you put in.
• A launchpad does not vet projects the way a regulated market does.
• A project can wind down, and campaign terms can change.
• Invest only money whose loss you can absorb.

Defending against scammers

Phishing copies circle popular launchpads. Check yourself against this list:

• Open the app only through the project's official channels.
• Never enter a seed phrase anywhere.
• Do not sign transactions you do not understand.
• Ignore direct messages offering a "guaranteed airdrop" and asking you to connect a wallet by link.

A sensible approach

Tasks with no investment are enough to get acquainted. Open a few campaigns and read who stands behind each project, whether it has a product and a public team ⚠️

Connect a separate wallet with a small amount and keep your main savings apart. Keep records of your participation: dates, amounts, addresses. They help with personal accounting and with questions about taxes in your country 📝
