Polkastarter is a blockchain platform designed to provide an easy to use launchpad for cross-chain token pools and auctions. It is most commonly used by early-stage blockchain projects that want to raise capital and easily distribute their tokens at the same time. Through Polkastarter blockchain projects can easily create their own cross-chain swap pools which allow them to securely raise funds while users can invest without risks since swaps are automatically executed by smart contracts. POLS is the native utility token of the Polkastarter platform and plays a number of roles in its ecosystem being used for liquidity mining governance paying transaction fees and gaining eligibility to participate in POLS-holder only pools. The platform first went live in December 2020 and has quickly grown to become one of the most commonly used platforms for initial DEX offerings (IDOs). As of February 2021 Polkastarter operates on the Ethereum blockchain but will eventually migrate to the Polkadot mainnet.
