Decubate Announcements

Dear Decubate community, After more than five years of relentless building, innovating, and maneuvering every market cycle, we must share a very difficult decision: We’ve done all we could, but we’re forced to wind down the launchpad operations. Market context and decision: The web3 token startup and fundraising landscape has remained extremely challenging, with no end in sight. Limited underfunded projects, relentless competition, low investor participation, high refund rates, and a lack of retail adoption have made responsible, long-term operations impossible. We explored every realistic path before concluding that continuing the regulated launchpad service is no longer sustainable. We have formally notified the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) of our intention to cease related regulated crypto asset service provider activities. DCB token: We’ve explored every angle to establish DCB's utility outside the launchpad ecosystem. Seeing many projects make promises they couldn’t keep, we concluded it would not be fair or realistic to do the same. The primary utility of the DCB token has always been tied to the launchpad ecosystem. With the platform’s discontinuation, the token’s utility will end. Decubate intends to discontinue maintaining the DCB token as part of its operations. During the wind-down, Decubate will not actively manage or support trading of the DCB token beyond the liquidity currently on PancakeSwap, which will end on 1 May 2026. Platform during wind-down: -No new projects will be onboarded, -No new token launches will take place. -Platform registrations will close. -Our sole focus is responsibly concluding existing obligations and supporting you through this wind-down. -The platform remains fully accessible during this wind-down. -All staked DCB becomes immediately claimable (lock periods lifted). -The current launchpad platform stays live until 1 May 2026. -After 1 May 2026, the site becomes a simple landing page with instructions for claiming any remaining IDO/L2E tokens directly on chain (claims remain possible indefinitely via blockchain explorers). A note to the community Over the years, Decubate became far more than a platform. It grew into a real ecosystem of builders, supporters, investors, and early believers who shared the same vision for what was possible in Web3. Many of you have been with us from the very beginning, standing by us through every market cycle and helping shape the ecosystem around the project. Your trust and engagement have meant everything to the team. We know this message will be difficult to read. It is equally difficult to write. Especially for those who believed in the launchpad's long-term vision as much as we did. That vision guided us for years, and like many of you, we truly hoped for a different ending. This decision was incredibly difficult and not taken lightly. We spent over a year exploring every possible path, adjusting the model, considering new directions, but the persistent challenges and lack of a sustainable outlook left us no responsible choice. We’ve exhausted all resources. While this chapter closes, thank you sincerely to every community member, investor, project, team member, and partner who was part of the journey. Your support, feedback, and belief shaped what Decubate became. We are committed to handling this wind-down transparently and with the respect you deserve. Support and next steps -A dedicated FAQ will be published shortly covering claims, DCB, timelines, and more. It will be updated regularly under platform.decubate.com -Questions, concerns, or feedback can be sent to support@decubate.com -Telegram community chats will remain closed to reduce the risk of scams. Only the official Announcement channel will stay open for updates. Security reminder Beware of scams and impersonators. We will never ask for funds, keys, or sensitive information. Official updates come only from verified channels and decubate.com. Thank you, truly, for being part of the Decubate story. We are grateful beyond words. The Decubate Team
