# Introduction to Ramen

## What is Ramen? 

Ramen is the Berachain-native token launchpad powering liquidity bootstrapping and price discovery for new assets. We democratize equitable access for users to participate in liquidity bootstrapping events by early-stage and growth-stage protocols on Berachain.

## Core Product Features

### Fixed Price Launches

* **Provably fair allocation distribution mechanism**: Lottery-based allocation distribution with Gacha, an off-chain points system earned linearly with gRAMEN
* **Maximum flexibility in structure**: Flexibility to configure launch phases with allocation caps&#x20;
* **Minimal user friction**: Fixed-price format easy for users to understand and participate

### Price Discovery Launches

* **Fairness and efficiency prioritized**: Blind auction mechanism prevents price manipulation, excessive FOMO, and frontrunning
* **Market-driven price discovery**: Verifiable on-chain price discovery for token, driven solely by market demand
* **Maximum accessibility**: No allocation caps, token-gating, or vestings. 100% open participation without restriction
