# Introduction

In the realm of YAKA, our ambitions extend beyond merely being a top-tier decentralized exchange (DEX) on Sei. As an ecosystem-driven platform, we aim to establish YAKA as the preferred launchpad for Sei's most promising upcoming protocols. Through our platform, we intend to empower like-minded builders, guiding them through the process of launching their projects while introducing them to the ecosystem in a transparent manner.

The launches and upcoming launches on nascent ecosystems such as Sei have led to a resurgence in new application-layer projects. Beyond private funding, projects have been looking for better ways to access communities via token distribution, whereas communities seek ways to get involved in quality projects early.

YAKA Finance, through its bootstrapping mechanisms, aims to address this issue. YAKA protocol becomes the preferred launchpad for projects and integrates closely with Sei's other financial ecosystems to facilitate synergy.

The launchpads are open to everyone but are structured to prioritize veYAKA holders. However, under certain circumstances, they might become accessible to the general public.
