Magic Square, backed by Binance Labs, has unveiled its new initial DEX offering (IDO) platform designed to democratize access for retail investors. This decentralized exchange (DEX)-based crowdfunding platform aims to provide Web3 investors with limited funds an equal opportunity to participate in investment rounds.
Inclusive Allocation Strategies
The Magic Launchpad employs unique allocation strategies that consider factors such as user activity and ecosystem contributions, ensuring that even users with fewer funds have a fair chance to invest. Michael Landsberger, the chief operating officer of Magic Square, emphasized the platform’s inclusive approach:
“This inclusive approach ensures that more community members can participate, rather than limiting opportunities to a select few, which are usually the ones that are more wealthy than others.”
Participation and Rewards
To participate in investment rounds, users need to stake Magic Square (SQR) tokens to earn SQR points, which determine their allocation size for some projects. Additionally, users can stack points by engaging in the “Road-to-IDO” campaign before each project’s IDO launch, earning rewards based on their activity within the community.

Beyond Fundraising
Magic Square’s platform aims to offer more than just financial support. Landsberger highlighted the importance of community-building and long-term project success:
“We believe that an IDO should be more than just a fundraising mechanism. If the focus is solely on raising money, the real potential of the IDO is missed. Our approach views the IDO as a powerful tool to build a strong community and user base, ensuring long-term project success rather than just securing operational funds.”
Growing User Base and Partnerships
Magic Square positions itself as the first community-driven Web3 app store, addressing user acquisition and engagement challenges. The platform boasts over 4.5 million registered users and more than 1,300 applications listed. Landsberger attributes this popularity to the protocol’s focus on organic growth and quality partnerships:
“We’ve built strong partnerships and consistently provided significant value to both projects and users within our ecosystem. This dual approach of leveraging high-quality partnerships and delivering genuine value has been crucial in achieving our current growth and will continue to drive our success moving forward.”
