Eclipse Fi is the hub for community-aligned token launches. It handles multi-chain launches, but the home base is within the Cosmos ecosystem, powered by Neutron. The protocol aims to handle top-tier multichain launches, with the goal of bringing back the value to loyal communities and offering well-vetted projects the ability to connect with high-quality, long-term focused users.

****Eclipse Fi is developing a modular hub that includes various methods to launch and distribute tokens to early communities. This includes Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs), Launch pools, and more. It also developing on-chain and off-chain reputation scoring for strong community curation.

****Eclipse Fi is also close to releasing Equinox, a governance aggregator protocol build on Astroport DEX, intended to drive more capital and liquidity into the launch hubecosystem.
