Going live in Launchpad

The goal? Raise $210 in 7 days to unlock your project and go live on Geyser.

🚀 Welcome to the Geyser Launchpad Challenge

You’re about to take your first step into the Geyser ecosystem — and the Launchpad Challenge is your proving ground.

The goal? Raise $210 in 7 days to unlock your project and go live on Geyser.

Why $210? It’s symbolic of Bitcoin’s 21 million cap — and a meaningful way to prove there’s real interest in your idea.

🛠 How It Works

  1. Create your project Add your title, story, visuals, and any perks or products you want to offer.

  2. Launch on the Geyser Launchpad Your project will appear publicly as “In Launch”. It’s not live yet — but people can already contribute.

  3. Raise 210,000 sats ($210) in 7 days You can do this through:

    • Your network

    • Twitter/X

    • Telegram groups

    • Fellow Bitcoiners Be creative, personal, and bold!

  4. Hit the target? You go live 🎉 Your project becomes fully live and searchable across Geyser. You now unlock access to all features: Updates, Community, Shop, and more.

⁉️ What If You Don’t Reach $210?

If your project doesn’t hit the goal in 7 days:

  • You’ll receive feedback and suggestions to improve your pitch.

  • You can refine and relaunch your project later.

  • Or if you still deeply believe in your mission, you can pay $21 yourself to unlock your project manually.

We believe in ideas that are tested by the market — and in empowering creators to grow through that process.

💡Pro Tips for Success

  • Keep your story clear and compelling — people back people, not just ideas.

  • Share early, share often. Don't just tweet — message friends, post in groups, and ask for support.

  • Use visuals — they help your project stand out.

  • Follow other projects — Geyser is a community, not just a platform.


Projects that don't make it

First off, don’t be discouraged. Many great ideas don’t take off on the first try. At Geyser, we believe failing fast is a feature — not a flaw. Here’s why this early stage matters:

🚨 Early signals are valuable

The 7-day $210 goal exists to test traction. It helps you quickly learn if your idea resonates with others. Think of it as a market pulse check — not a verdict on your potential.

🔄 Feedback fuels growth

Now’s the time to ask:

  • Did I clearly explain the “why” behind my project?

  • Did I share it with the right community?

  • Is my idea solving a real problem?

Use this moment to gather feedback, reframe your pitch, or even pivot. Some of the best creators go through multiple iterations before they break through.

⏳ Better now than months later

It’s tough to wait for months only to realize your idea didn’t gain traction. Geyser’s Launchpad helps you find out quickly and avoid wasted time and energy.

🔥 Still believe in your project?

If you still feel confident and energized by your idea, you can bypass the Launchpad by contributing $21 yourself. This unlocks your project and takes it live, giving you full access to Geyser’s tools and audience.

💡 Bonus tip: Community helps

Ask others for help — Geyser is full of creators who’ve been through this. Share your experience, ask for feedback, and don’t be afraid to relaunch with a new twist.
