# Solanium

Solanium is a traditional IDO (Initial DEX Offering) launchpad on Solana using KYC requirements, staking tiers, and community vetting as quality filters. The platform represents the middle tier of the Solana launchpad market between permissionless platforms (Pump.fun) and futarchy-governed platforms (MetaDAO).

Solanium's curation model relies on centralized vetting rather than market-based governance, positioning it as a traditional Web2-style gatekeeper in the launchpad competitive landscape.
