Saturn Litepaper
STRN, the launch phase, and the road to launchpad. The docs cover contract-level detail.
01 · OVERVIEW
A launchpad on Stellar
Saturn is a decentralized launchpad built on Stellar. Buys, staking, and distributions run through open Soroban contracts. No custodial pools, no intermediaries between you and the treasury.
STRN is the token that powers it. The launch phase is live: STRN is distributed at a fixed price directly from contract, and the launch vault is already paying 1% daily staking rewards. When the launchpad ships, STRN becomes the access layer for every launch hosted on Saturn.
02 · LAUNCH PHASE
Fixed price. Volume bonus.
100,000,000 STRN (10% of supply) is allocated to the launch phase at a fixed 0.0005 XLM per STRN (1 XLM = 2,000 STRN). Fixed means fixed: the price doesn't move with demand.
- Bigger buys earn more: every 10 XLM adds a +1% bonus, up to +100% at 1,000 XLM.
- Minimum buy is 1 XLM. Buys cap at the remaining allocation; you're only charged for what you receive.
- XLM proceeds go to the treasury in the same transaction as your STRN release.
- The launch phase ends when the allocation sells out or the launchpad ships. Unsold STRN returns to the treasury.
03 · STAKING
1% every 24 hours
The launch vault pays 1% per day on staked STRN, accruing every second. No lock-ups. Stake, unstake, or claim at any time.
- Rewards require participation — during the launch phase, staking alone earns. Holding pays nothing.
- Rewards pay out of a treasury-funded STRN pool, tracked separately from your stake.
- If the pool runs dry, accrual continues and claims pause until it's refilled.
- Rewards compound if you re-stake them; each claim can go straight back into the vault.
- When the launchpad ships, staked STRN carries voting power — governance proposals and launch curation — and 50% of the pad's 1% fee on buys and sells is paid in XLM to stakers who participate.
- Launchpad staking uses timed staking contracts — the longer the lock, the more voting power the stake carries, and voting power sets each staker's share of XLM rewards.
- As revenue grows, rewards shift toward XLM-only and STRN emissions wind down.
04 · ALLOCATION

Community
Community incentives, airdrops and ecosystem programs.
10% · 100M STRN
Launch phase
100M sold at a fixed price through the buy contract; 50M funds launch-phase staking rewards.
15% · 150M STRN
Rewards pool
Staking rewards released ~50M STRN per year over ~6 years; topped up with XLM from launchpad revenue.
30% · 300M STRN
Treasury
Protocol funding and reserves.
45% · 450M STRN
Launch-phase purchases draw from the launch allocation. Bonuses pay out of the same pool, so larger buys deplete it faster.
The treasury is earmarked — it covers liquidity provision for STRN and launched tokens, operations, and ecosystem growth. Community and treasury tokens vest over time; they do not enter circulation at launch.
05 · STRN UTILITY
What STRN is for
- Staking rewards: live now in the launch vault; the rewards pool funds the official staking program.
- Launch allocations: STRN is the access key for projects launching on Saturn. Staking tiers set allocation size.
- Governance: stakers vote on governance proposals and curate which launches reach the pad — and can submit proposals of their own.
The launch phase is the cheapest entry STRN will have. Once the allocation sells out, new buyers pay market price on the AMM pool.
06 · ROADMAP
Where this goes
STRN launch & 1% daily staking
Phase 1 · LiveLaunchpad smart contracts deployed
Phase 2First project launch: STRN required for allocations
Phase 3DAO governance + fee-sharing staking
Phase 4Launch-phase contracts are interim and get superseded by the launchpad contracts at release. Nothing here is financial advice.
