# Bedrock Foundation

**Type:** Token launch infrastructure protocol  
**Chain:** Solana  
**Status:** Live (March 2026)  
**Key Partners:** Meteora (AMM), GVRN (legal framework)

## Overview

Bedrock Foundation provides permissionless token launch infrastructure with integrated legal entity incorporation and KYC. The platform automates BVI entity creation with Bedrock Foundation as shareholder, combining token issuance with legal compliance in a single flow.

## Mechanism

- **Automated incorporation:** BVI entity creation integrated into launch flow
- **Built-in KYC:** Compliance verification as part of token issuance
- **Shareholder structure:** Bedrock Foundation takes shareholder position in all launched entities
- **Infrastructure:** Built on Meteora AMM with GVRN legal framework
- **Flexibility:** Works with any tokenomics or launch mechanism on Solana

## Launch Partners

Initial launch with three launchpad integrations:
- **Bags App:** Permissionless business registration and fundraising
- **Star.fun:** Shark-tank style raising platform
- **Collateralize:** RWA and early-stage project launchpad

## Positioning

Bedrock addresses the legal wrapper pain point in token launches, where incorporating an entity typically requires multi-week, multi-lawyer processes. The platform's value proposition is "one click and you have a token, a legal entity, and compliance."

## Open Questions

- **Edge case handling:** Multi-jurisdiction holders, securities classification disputes, beneficial ownership reporting
- **Dependency risk:** Bedrock as mandatory shareholder creates potential chokepoint
- **Regulatory sustainability:** BVI friendliness does not eliminate all compliance complexity

## Timeline
