# Launchpad overview

Tezforge is the builder OS on the Tezos network, built to support transparent, accessible, and efficient project launches. It provides a practical suite of infrastructure tools that help teams create, launch, and manage onchain products while giving users a simple and straightforward way to participate.

Powered by Tezos-native tooling and onchain contracts, Tezforge connects builders with early supporters through a clean and open launch environment. From token and NFT deployment to launch management, distribution, and automation, the platform is designed to reduce friction, encourage well-prepared projects, and bring more clarity to the launch experience on TEZOS.

**`Key features`**

* **token and nft creation tools:** utilities for token setup, nft collection deployment, distribution, and basic lifecycle management
* **flexible launch models:** support for presales, fair launches, nft drops, and other configurable raise formats
* **clear dashboards:** simple views for both teams and participants to track launch progress and mint activity
* **post-launch continuity:** ongoing visibility, liquidity pathways and integration within the ecosystem

Tezforge gives project teams a straightforward way to launch on Tezos, while offering participants early access to new native projects in a transparent and reliable environment.
